I looked into it, but a CD duplicator is much more expensive than a printer for paper. And, it's hard to highlight stuff in a CD. So, we are still printing on paper.

So, BigTexas, I might revisit this, just to give students an option. What are you using to make your CDs?

Yep, it's hard to read highlighted stuff on a CD unless you have a Silver highlighter running about 24x .

That's weaome Crossfire. I was wondering why the blue cover? Maybe you should see if Charles would make your info a sticky, lots of instructors could use the help.

I love the idea of students having the opportunity to highlight important points. What size does the bookelet end up at? I was thinking that I'd encourage them to keep it in their glove box as a ready reference for off limits carry.

They end up the same size we are used to, and yes, I have students highlight important stuff and tell them the should keep them handy.

That's a good idea. I could add a couple pages since I'm having them printed anyway. 5 cents a page sounds pretty cheap.

Maybe I am the only one doing this, but I like for my students to have a copy of the Concealed handgun Laws. With the new system going paperless it will be up to me to provide them if I want to. Well, they don't make the info easy to find on the website (no suprise) so I emailed Austin about the availability of printed books. Here is the response I got.

Well even with that it isn't real easy but I found it. They want $5.00 per booklet!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heck we used to get the whole packet for nothing. Oh well.

So I did sme checking and the best price here in Corpus is Kinkos. I-49 is $3.85 ea. 50-69 is $2.85 each 70+ is $2.05 each. This is stapled and folded. Naturally I ordered 70. I use the book A LOT in my class, and I encourage my students to highlight the good stuff so they can go back over it . I will feel better providing this because I doubt many will print it out.

Anybody else doing this?
