Of course you will still have to go in for a range qualification , but all in all I think alot of folks will jump at the chance to take it online. I'm not sure if it's just for renewals or for initial licensing, but anything helps I guess. The more sheepdogs the better! Here endith my two cents.

That is a false rumor that's being spread. The online courses applies ONLY to instructors. No other changes are coming.

Charles Cotton(TSRA Executive Director and owner of this forum) spoke with DPS regarding these rumors, and verified that they are false"

You know, I'm sure some people would balk at that idea but I don't think it's so bad at all. After all, you are being tested on material that's written. It seems the class can be distracting with a lot of knuckleheads asking crazy hypothetical situations and confusing people about what the law really is. I guess the major problem would be ensuring that somebody couldn't cheat because you know if they got their license and were later arrested for doing something bad then it would all come back down on the CHL program.

Of course like you said you'd have to sign up for a range qual to shoot but that would be much less time consuming than spending all day at a range/classroom.
