Do I have to do everything all at once? What I mean was. If I pay for the electronic prints now are they good forever? or do i have to send those in with the packet, photos, motorized ap, and CHL course completion? Unless I misunderstand what it says 140.00 goes to the state. Any class fees are all to the instructor? So I will most likely take it in Terrel for 50.00 It is about 45 or so east of me.

Did anyone train with a digital timer? I was thinking of getting one not sure if it would be overkill. Decided to get a crossbreed supertuck when I get a holster. Thanks to a lot of you guys and some other people. Again money with Christmas and 4 birthdays this month I'm out of it.

Thanks for all the inputs.
Practice is good, but it does not have to be expensive. Im not sure what you mean by "Money doesn't call for the ammo I intend on using to get/stay ready."? Are you talking about practicing 100% of the time with your carry ammo? I dont know a single person who does that. Get some cheap plinker ammo for the bulk and get in a box or so of your carry ever so often. Come to think of it, the only time I hear of anyone using carry ammo in a non-situation is just making sure their firearm feeds/shoots it reliably.

Do you have to do everything at once? No. Would I string it out over several months? No. IIRC things like the application are good for only one year. You have to provide L1 with your "number" so they know who its attached to. If your worried aboud funds just save untill your at that point then do it all at once. Ive never heard of someones packet getting lost in Austin but id rather them not sit on my information for an extended period of time.

Train with a timer? No. Youll have plenty of time for each CoF. I nor anyone in the class felt rushed. If your moderately proficient with your firearm youll do just fine. Everyone in my class was waiting on the clock and noone scored less than 98%.

Re: pre-CHL/how often do you carry?

How much one carries (legally) is up to that individual.

IMO, I cant guess when something bad will go down. Thats why I have insurance. If I could, id be a rich man.
Not every bad situation goes down in the "ghetto". Ive read too many "I just went out to the store real quick and left my CCW. I wish I had it!"

So for me personally? 100% of the time that im legally able to.
