Re: What Now?
How about the pathetically slow upload speed on the DPS Contact page?

Re: Instructor Renewal Requirements
I haven't seen anything and still have no response to the emails I have sent from the contact page... I really hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

Re: Instructor Renewal Requirements
I appreciate the replies. I have not received anything from DPS and they haven't answered any of my emails. Really frustrated with this whole ordeal. They are requiring a lot without doing an even somewhat decent job of communicating information. Very disappointing...

Instructor Renewal Requirements
OK, I have been reading and researching and I'm still confused on what we need to do to renew this year. I am scheduled to take the NRA Pistol Instructors course on the 10/9 since my qualifications over the last 25 years no longer meet their requirements. I of course paid my money and applied online...

I like it. Under 9 pounds for a 3 shot breaker? I have to say why not?

Re: FL: LEO Shoots Man Rummaging in Car Late Night
Of course, if they were trying to kill him...which it certainly appears they were...then 17 shots obviously wasn't enough for them. Let's not get carried away here. About the only thing we know for certain about this case is that the deputies were horribly bad shots. The idea that they were actuall...

Re: DPS changes
you can email or fax your documents to dps. Apparently you can't email them anymore. You have to go thru the painful process of attaching the form to an online inquiry. (At least for instructor forms.) Yes, it was a lot easier before. I really hope they streamline the process. The new way is a pain...

Yes, the good Lord is covering my six... I can guarantee you I wouldn't even be walking the earth today if it weren't for his helpful hand on many occasions.

Re: New laws new price?
I won't be changing my prices. I put quality first. People will always be able to get it cheaper, but I doubt they can find better... I don't see how I'm going to fit everything in 6 hours of classroom time. Going to take a lot of whittling.

Re: Alcohol in CHL Class
Personally I think that everyone should be able to forego the alcohol at least long enough to get through their CHL class. Is it against the law? No, but as an instructor I think we all have a responsibility to set the right example. This is a serious class, and it should be taken that way. Leave th...

Re: I'll be picking up my brass...
Stay away from my brass too!
JK, reloading is actually a lot of fun. I pick up brass everywhere I can. I would have loved to scrounge up all the brass at the DPS range when we qualified... About 8000 rounds fired that morning!
