From what I can tell, DH=Dear Husband.
Actually, he's actually signed up for the class for May 27th! So, at least something's made a difference with him. Maybe it was the fact that when we visited son in Arlington...we went to the range and he really enjoyed himself. As an FYI, at one time, he was a member of the Provost Guard (pistol team for Shriners) and truly IS SUPER accurate.
At any rate, I don't know that he'll actually carry on his person but at least he's taking the class!

Perhaps, one day, you can convince him to shoot one of our matches with you. I enjoyed meeting him at the banquet, and would like to see him again before the next one.
It's a good start!PPM wrote:At any rate, I don't know that he'll actually carry on his person but at least he's taking the class!

I just went through my renewal class on May 12th. Several seasoned citizens, black, white, hispanic and everything in between. Shooting ability doesn't care how old you are. Don't push DH, if he doesn't 'get it', then there is nothing you can do.
Your DH may still be living in the days when a robbery was just about the money? He needs to read the metro section and catch up on how many robberies, home invasions and car jackings turn into shootings.

My dh just took his CHL course on May 19. It took awhile for him to warm up to the idea.
I'm glad to hear that your's is scheduled next week.

The NRA & TSRA are a bargain; they're much cheaper than the cold, dead hands experience.

My Hesitant Hubby and CHL
Well, folks, it seems that I've not given an update recently. Let's see.... He took the class and actually has the CHL. For the longest, he wouldn't carry. Then he bought a Springfield XD sub-compact. Other than around the house...he never carried it! "I love my XD! It shoots better than I expected and feels great"...but, as you know...it's just chunky!
THEN, back in August, when he celebrated his 71st birthday I bought him a little S&W .38. Even though he's not taken it to the range even one time, he dawns his little carry vest (which I'd gotten him a long time ago) every single day that he leaves the house and puts the little gun in the cross-draw pocket! I was stunned! At last! He carries!!
After he'd carried it for a couple of consecutive weeks, he made the statement, "Well, now that I've carried for a while, I understand what you've said about just feelin' a lot safer when you have it with you." At last! Dawn has broken in that old, hard-headed 1/2-German's brain of his!

Dear husband? That's always been my uneducated interpretation, anyhow.txinvestigator wrote:I'vr asked this before, and no one will say.....What is a DH?Annie wrote:I just joined the local conservation club so that I can use the range anytime I like. Twice a week they have "shotgun shoot" night.
There's a lady there who just turned 86. She just got interested about 6 or 7 years ago when her husband passed away. If she can learn to shoot a shotgun at 70...your DH can do a handgun at 60!
Edit...Dang...I should remember to read page two before replying to a post on page one. Nice to know I was right though!
