Going through the licensing process has taught me that having a CHL is a responsibility not to be taken lightly. I had a great instructor (active duty Sherrif dept) and I am taking additional defensive and offensive handgun training courses so that I can be better prepared if I ever get into a bad situation. I hope I never need to, but having the option in todays world is a must.
I am a newbie myself and I too got the CHL class as a Christmas gift from my brother. He, my dad, my uncle and my myself took the class together and we all are packing now. I second the motion of taking extra classes. I want to do that too, just need to find the time. I try to shoot every two weeks or so. Too bad shooting can be so expensive!
