I totally agree. I just hate to see the OP throw out the baby with the bath water. You can compete w/out giving away the service and running people that need the business out of it.apostate wrote:Competition generally does lower prices. That's one of the blessings of free market capitalism.

Re: Fees for CHL classes TOO expensive!
Personally I wish there was no state fee and we call carry w/out a license but since that's not the case I don't think $100 is to much for a CHL class. The instructor is taking at least 10 hours of their day to teach a course mandated by the state. They had to spend a week in Austin to get their license which includes them paying for the course plus food, room and board. This coupled with paying for teaching space if needed plus range fees $100 isn't bad at all.
To the original poster. Don't do to CHL teachers what so many have done to photographers. Photography used to be a way to make a good living. Then camera's became cheap. People didn't have to learn anything technical to take a picture and now you have thousands of self proclaimed professional photographers selling what amounts to crap photos for a 10th of what former good photographers used to just because they can without any regard to the industry they may be hurting. Some CHL teachers may be making a living off of that $100 per student.
