and the reason for this is ...txinvestigator wrote:We (CHL forum members) could create the Texas Professional Concealed Handgun Association. We would elect a board of directors and create professional levels of training, both practical and classroom. We could have members apply for levels of different levels of status that show progressive amounts of experience/training and assisting others.
The board would review applicants for the "status levels" training and other requirements and issue applicable certificates of status.
For example, the Texas PI association (TALI) is a private association and not affiliated with the state. TALI created standards of conduct, training and skills, and has a status called "TALI Professional Investigator" that the state allows to be placed with the state PI title. Hiring a PI with TPI after the title insures that your investigator has proven his experience, skills and knowledge to his peers.
Part of the status would be regular qualifications.
Some of you smart folks could perhaps come up with an Acronym that would describe the association and be cool.

I go to the range every couple of week, because I enjoy it. Before applying for my CHL I hadn't fired a Handgun in 30 years. I went to the range with 100 rnds and fired at 15 yards and was able to put every thing on the target. and 80 percent in an 8 inch circle. I've got better in the past year and have learned a few extra skills. My point though is after 30 years I was still good enough to use my handgun as a defensive weapon. I agree that more is better, and we would like to see CHLers practice regularly, but we don't have to go out every week, and take every advanced course known to man to be able to defend ourselves under most situations.
The biggest problem I think is that for a lot of us there aren't enough ranges close to us. I think of shooting as one of the cheapest things I do recreationally. 150 rnds is $20. $3 range fee, and $2.00 in targets.
I have lots of fun and usually meet some one interesting.
I wonder how many folks don't shoot more often because of the costs or the distance to the range.
