Jeez. They made it as painless as possible but damn. If they really wanted to prevent people from having CHLs they'd require people to redo the class once a year.
The shooting qualification was a joke. There was a lady who had never shot a handgun before using a glok provided by the range - she qualified. No problem.
The test? Are you freaking joking? If you can't pass that test you really shouldnt even be allowed out of the house.
The interesting bit that I took away from the class was: yeah, now you can (or whenever you showme arrives) carry a concealed weapon with you and no you don't have to run away from the bad guys or be a victim, but if you do make the choice to draw your weapon you have stepped foot in a world that will require the assistance of an attorney. Get it wrong (hit an innocent bystander, shoot a fleeing fellon in the back and claim self defense) and you could be facing real criminal charges.
Even better, say some sack of shit kicks down your door and threatens you and your family with a AK47 but being a sack of shit he doesnt really know how to use it and you bust a cap in his ass. (like that run on? I know you did) Good job! Now you're facing about $10000 in legal bills getting yourself no-billed by the grand jury. Or in a less clear cut situation that goes to trial you could be looking at over a half million in legal fees keeping your ass out of jail. Not to mention the negative media attention, possible loss of your job and your libtard neighbors whining about poos less fortunate oppressed people. At this just fucking lovely.
On the bright side you can (and frankly should) buy insurance to cover your ass. Despite all the above I will happily bustacap in a perps ass (ass behing that region in the upper chest) if the situation escalates to the point where the lives of my family, myself, friends or even strangers are in danger. however I will do everything in my power to avoid such situations. I personally have no desire to be Clint Eastwood. I'm too busy downloading porn in my masterbation cave to be bothered with such nonsense.
Another eye openner was the numbers involved and how really crappy hand guns actually are. 85% of people with gun shots survive. WFT? Shooting a perp in the forehead with a handgun is unlikily to give satisfactory results? You've got to be kidding me. Same with the lower parts of the face and pelvic girdle. Geez.
The idea of having a pistol round hit the target in the forehead, have it pierce the skin but then just follow the contour of the skull around to the backside of the head is a bit funny. In a sick sort of way. You know that is going to hurt. Unfortunately if the perp is all hopped up on mountain dew he is going to seriously kick your ass for doing that to him.
Anyway, tons of info got dumped on me and I'm still processing it all. I see the reason and reasoning behind carrying all the time, but I still need more time to think it through.
More people ought to at least take the CHL class even if they don't want the license or to carry.
