Re: CHL Proficiency caliber question
Well, the co-worker and his wife both qualified on Saturday. She borrowed her father's Sig 9mm. So all is good, I just found the refusal to let her use her .32 to be interesting.

Re: CHL Proficiency caliber question
Yep, that's the version that I was reading. No dice for the coworker's wife, though....G26ster wrote:According to CHL-16 dated October 2012, it's still says .32 caliber.

CHL Proficiency caliber question
So, a coworker and his wife purchased handguns for Christmas - he a 9mm and she a .32. As part of the purchase, the business included their CHL classes at no additional charge. They were told, however, that she could not use the .32 for her proficiency qualification, that it had to be .380 or larger. The coworker and I were discussing this, and I went online and pulled up CHL-16 from the Texas DPS website, where it indicates that the handgun must be .32 or larger. This weekend, when they took their class, the instructor told them that the law had recently been changed to .380 minimum.
Did the law change, and the on-line CHL-16 hasn't been updated yet? Or is this the instructor's (or maybe the business') personal policy? I don't know the instructor's name, but coworker says he's a retired Fort Worth PD officer.
I don't own, carry or expect to ever have a .32, just wondering if the coworker was being given incorrect information.
