I'm long past wondering. They are IMO. But still, there is no indication that CHL's are hitting innocents via indiscriminate "spraying", so maybe it's my opinion that is wrong.HooG19 wrote:at least she is getting it on the paper...
when I took my shooting test for the CHL, I was surprised how one of the other shooters seemed to place them all over the place on the target, yet still passed. It makes me wonder if maybe the state's standards are too low...

Geez!
Statistically, most CHL holders will go to their grave without having to draw a weapon; and in at least half the cases where they do, they won't have to shoot.frankie_the_yankee wrote:But still, there is no indication that CHL's are hitting innocents via indiscriminate "spraying", so maybe it's my opinion that is wrong.

It's not that hard. I've taught several people to shoot handguns, and they were hitting the bullseye consistently within an hour.

Sad but so true. This is one reason I like txinvestigator's idea for an Advanced CHL Course that combines the State-mandated CHL course with an NRA pistol course.AndyC wrote:Sounds like a lot of people would benefit by attending a pre-CHL course to familiarise themselves with the operation of their firearm.
Problem is, of course, most of those same people wouldn't bother because they aren't obliged to attend
