Here's a link from another good forum that has some step-by-step info:BShook wrote:So I can go ahead and register and get the packet now?

I don't think you can apply online if you are under 21, because the web site asks if you are 21 (or in the military).BShook wrote:So I can go ahead and register and get the packet now?

Just rember that it has to be with in 6 months of your 21st birthday or you will have to start all over.seamusTX wrote:I don't think you can apply online if you are under 21, because the web site asks if you are 21 (or in the military).BShook wrote:So I can go ahead and register and get the packet now?

You can take the class and get a packet from the instructor. You just have to wait until you are 21 to sign the affidavit.
The link is the word here in the message from llwatson, which is now on the previous page of this thread.

Please remind me which rule sets that 6 month time limit.Wildscar wrote:Just rember that it has to be with in 6 months of your 21st birthday or you will have to start all over.
Never mind me.I was mistaken. That 6 month thing is for renewals and modifications. However a class does have a time limit and its 2 years. Something tells. me you dont have a problem.seamusTX wrote:Please remind me which rule sets that 6 month time limit.Wildscar wrote:Just rember that it has to be with in 6 months of your 21st birthday or you will have to start all over.

An 8 hour class is not long enough, it's suposed to be a min. 10 hour's max. 15 hour class.stormchaser wrote:The sitting through a 8 hour class can SUCK this is fact. But, to post a test on the Web is scary also. Just because a person has a "clean" record to aquire a CHL means little when alot of these people should be wearing football helments, mitts and riding the little bus to get to the class! Not all applicants mind you fall under the mentally impared catagory, but many do. I wish the class had have been longer to answere more of my questions. Maybe that 8 hours is enought if they would limit (or shoot) the ones that eat up all the class time with meaningless banter.
I attended the classroom portion of the class last night and having to wait for a renewal shooting class in order to qualify (I have to work tonight and the shooting portion for my class is tonight) Anyway, the way I see it, all we did was sit there and read through the laws in the book. I could do this ONLINE and take a test afterwards and be just the same. On the other hand, Im kind of paranoid now that the CHL is merely a way for the govt. to know exactly who has a gun and where it is at. Either way, Im still taking the course and paying the scam of a fee to have the right to carry a gun.dolanp wrote:You know, I'm sure some people would balk at that idea but I don't think it's so bad at all. After all, you are being tested on material that's written. It seems the class can be distracting with a lot of knuckleheads asking crazy hypothetical situations and confusing people about what the law really is. I guess the major problem would be ensuring that somebody couldn't cheat because you know if they got their license and were later arrested for doing something bad then it would all come back down on the CHL program.Paladin wrote:One suggested on-line classes (although obviously the shooting qual couldn't be done online)
Of course like you said you'd have to sign up for a range qual to shoot but that would be much less time consuming than spending all day at a range/classroom.
