GATESVILLE (July 8, 2013)--Gatesville concealed handgun license instructor Adam Stephen Fitzer, 40, remained free on bond Tuesday after he was charged with tampering with a governmental record in connection with what an investigator says was the falsification of certificates of training for students who didn’t complete the required 10 hours of instruction.
No State shall convert a liberty into a privilege, license it, and charge a fee therefor. -- Murdock v. Pennsylvania If the State converts a right into a privilege, the citizen can ignore the license and fee and engage in the right with impunity. -- Shuttleworth v. City of Birmingham
Gatesville is small town, not much goes on there that 'everyone' doesn't find out about. My In-Laws just moved there and my BIL has lived there most of his life and I'm will to bet he know knows most of the people list in this.
The gun range owner is our hero. It's guys like this CHL Instructor that give gun owners a bad rep, and by policing ourselves, we show we are responsible citizens.

Treating one variety of person as better or worse than others by accident of birth is morally indefensible.
I noticed the the affidavit names and CHL # of several CHL holders. Isn't there something in the code which addresses the release of demographic information of CHL holders by LE?

Since when do CHL numbers have letters in them?

Based on the number, the "L" was probably a "1" that was misread.

Strange mistake to make unless some form of OCR was used somewhere along the line.

This is an interesting issue. They are witnesses to this case and witness info would go on the affidavit. They are actually very lucky they were used as witnesses and not prosecuted. They have not met the required statute for attending a chl course and qualifying. They then submitted govt. records when applying for a chl stating that they had.
I really hate to see someone do something stupid like this (assuming he is guilty) and make the rest of the CHL instructors out there look bad. I'm glad the range owner said something. The lady realized something was up and went elsewhere. I wonder if she just didn't know that she should / could report the instructor herself....

It's like how Edward Snowden makes the rest of the IT people out there look bad.(Sarcasm)
How do the actions of 1 person in a business make everyone else in that business look bad ?
Are all NFL players murderers?

Unfortunately, those who are anti-gun tend to paint any incident like this with a broad brush. Look at what happened after Aurora and Sandy Hook. One individual acting a fool and murdering people in each incident caused a national uproar with anti-gunners looking to restrict the rights of tens of millions of law abiding citizens based on the actions of a couple of idiots. Of course the CHL instructor didn't kill anyone, but he did (if guilty) falsify docs. Just like one bad cop makes a whole department look bad in the minds of some. It shouldn't be that way, but unfortunately, IMHO that is life.
