you sucked.

that is all

ETA: I don't mean to be negative, but it really was that bad. We had a really good looking female lacerate her hand on the firing line with a sub compact glock. The only thing they went over prior to the range was sight picture.

Congratulate me when I get my CHL. I feel no need to be exalted for wasting my money and time. I can understand an abbreviated class, but this one bordered on negligence.

I took one in OR, which was taught to the lowest common denominator and while I don't necessarily consider myself that...I learned some things. I brought 2 coworkers to this class and was embarrassed that I did.

Who was the instructor. When I did my class with Bill Beaty I can say it was a top notch class. Had a lawyer, and a LEO come in and talk. I learned some stuff.   I've sat through a couple of others and they were a joke. The best one was taught in a cow pasture with everyone sitting on there tailgates and the instructor talking for 35 minutes. She then drank coffee while everyone shot. She said go shoot a couple o clips then brin me your target and I'll sign off.

never been to a CCW class.  I figure they were just a way to separate you from your money. My state of residency its $25, a quick background check, oh and a 2-5 minute wait and your ccl is yours, Its honored by most states too!  I contemplated getting a AR license but it only lets me carry in 3 more states or so.

Your displeasure is misdirected. It should be directed at the politicians that enacted the legislation that violates your right to bear arms and at the cops that enforce it.

I've heard similar stories from my AR friends that went through the class.  If my mother-in-law can pass it it's not that difficult.

Here in MS, we don't have a class.  It's just a $125 for fingerprints and a background check.

I did take an all day class on self-defense handgun with the Memphis ARFCOM crew and that was well worth the $100.  We discussed getting together again for the Force On Force class where we get to shoot each other with less than lethal ammo.

Hunters safety course is more detailed on firearms than the CCW class

You need to call ASP and talk to Lt. Gentry.  These sub-par instructors are going to ruin it for all the rest.  If you are ever North Central, let me know, I'll make up for it... Free o charge...  :)

CHL classes are like any other classes, boring and lame. But, because you sat through the agony you are now able to defend yourself and attempt to be a responsible citizen who can carry a handgun, so its a blessing.

I went to a CCW class at an outdoor store in Tonitown. It was alright. Good discussion on different scenario's and how we should act when we get pulled over by a Police Officer. They also warned us very strongly against getting one of those retarded CCW badges. The indoor range was pretty good, and they were very adament about safety. I don't remember the instructors name though. Overall it was a decent course.
