Renewal Class Scrubbed...

Sucks to be me, now I gotta wait till 2018 to take advantage. Hopefully they will have carry anywhere by then.

Several states use a stringency standard to award reciprocity.

This is background check stringency, not hours spent sitting in a classroom stringency. We will lose nothing.

Sucks, just renewed in Feb. Next time would have been my 3 renew. I was looking forward to just paying the fee and getting my renewed license. No class, no hassle. Now everyone gets to. Waaaa waaaa waaa.

LOL, my brother just did his renewal. Mine is due in November. He had the same thought.

 

[Bithabus]

Few months ago I had to sit in a renewal class listening to a person who had no idea what he was talking about. Never again.

Yet another nail in the coffin of the greedy bunch of CHL instructors. Die, bitches!



Prefer Constitutional carry, but...baby steps...

Are you you sure you know what you are talking about?

Most CHL renewals are 50 bucks. The law requires that you take a renewal every 4 or 5 years. The class has to be taught by a CHL instructor. Paying an instructor 12.50 an hour so you can get a renewal is hardly "greedy"

 

[wakal]

Pretty damn sure.

Having sat in a room full of asshat instructors (in a certain geographic area) price fixing so everyone "gets their share" without competition...screw 'em.

Until we manage to get these Leftists/Democrats/Socialists/Nannystaters/shitheads (but I repeat myself), baby steps are all we get on the way to Constitutional Carry.

so, you are saying that CHL instructors are leftist nanny staters ?
That has not been my experience. Name the class you took.

So, I already went online & paid to set stuff up for my September renewal.
How does all this affect me?

 

[Texanjoker]

I am not sure I agree with this. I also wonder how it will effect reciprocity. When I took the course in 07 there were people in there that didn't know what a gun looked liked. They barely qualified, yet received a chl. Now they will not have to requal in 5?

I think this will also effect everybody wanting to carry everywhere. It will be pretty easy as a politician to not vote for more carry places due to lack of training.

I let my CHL expire, now that glovebox guns are OK, it just seemed less important. I decided not to renew because I could not endure an entire day (that I can't get back) listening to a deputy constable from Podunk county, telling me not to play quick draw. I may invest 4 hours for a new one. One thing I would recommend strongly. instructors should explain in no uncertain terms that a CHL holder is not a Policeman. Is not endowed with arrest authority (more than any citizen). Has not been given a mandate to "save the world." All comments I have heard from new CHL graduates. Maybe this could be included in something you must sign. Just saying...

Baby steps I suppose. Slowly inching our way to constitutional carry. Slowly.

Well if they qualified to begin with and managed to not end themselves within the 5 years they were presumably carrying, I think needing to take a renewal class is rather irrelevant at that point.

For liberal politicians who would've voted against relaxing carry laws to begin with.

Come on, I like you Texanjoker, but your Californian is showing.

Renewal classes were 4 hours when your license expired, not all day.

Nothing, right now. If the good Governor signs the bill, then in 4 years you apply online for renewal, pay your fee and be done for another 5 years.

I believe DPS only holds your fees for 90 days. When did you pay?
