I have had a carry license since the old days, 1996. My first CHL class cover the “reasonable man” laws and the duty to retreat, etc. With all the various changes over the years, I must admit I am frankly confused on the current state of the laws. Is there a class or seminar or something designed to get me up to date and explain what no longer applies? Thanks!

I would bet there are many Instructors that would let you sit in on one of their classes. The class is only 4 hours long and you would learn the new stuff and reinforce the old stuff.

My initial CHL was issued shortly after Hurricane Rita (which was my inspiration event) but then I let it lapse because of the "premises" ambiguity (I was driving on school property almost daily and I just said to heck with it - I can't ever carry anyway, so why maintain a CHL?).

Of course I had to re-take the class early in January 2018 because of this lapse, and I'm very glad I did because I learned a lot of new stuff.

Even if you have to pay for class attendance (which you might because of the high perceived liability in certain establishments - and I bet they'll make you sign their waiver regardless), it's less than a hundred bucks. Well worth it, IMO.

Did you ever find a class to take?? I always tell my students that they may attend classes for update reasons if there is room. NO CHARGE but I will accept a tip to cover expenses, but not required. I furnish PowerPoint handbook and a copy of the CHL/LTC booklet. There have been a handful that have taken me up on this and I wish more would take advantage of it. I will extend this to you, as well.
