Re: Laser on weapon during CHL proficiency testing?

Tritium sights do not "enhance" or in any way improve aiming capability in daylight.
Really? Having a dot to line up on the target so you can tell where your bullet will hit doesn't improve your aiming capability? Strange, I thought that was how all sights worked. Whether that dot is projected to the target or is on your gun, you are still using a device to improve your aiming capability. It really doesn't matter whether that dot is glowing or not, it's still a dot.

There are several definitions of the word optical. The problem is that whichever definition you choose, either lasers don't fit the definition (i.e. scopes with magnification), or they do fit, but then iron sights fit too. Therefore, under a system where iron sights are acceptable, this clearly means that the definition that excludes lasers must be the one meant by the rules and that lasers are acceptable too.

In addition, based on the phrase "optical enhancer" I can't see how eyeglasses are allowed.

Re: Laser on weapon during CHL proficiency testing?

Thank you. At least you're not going off of personal opinion.

Having said that, define "optical enhancers". I can see that as excluding scopes, as those actually enhance what you see. But I don't see that as excluding laser sights; unless you also consider it to exclude normal sights. Perhaps sigts without dots are ok, but if you have paint on your posts, then it's not ok. Certainly tritium sights are excluded...

Re: Laser on weapon during CHL proficiency testing?

So it looks like several people won't allow it. These same folks also admit they know of no rule prohibiting it. What gives?
If there's no rule against it, first, why wouldn't you allow it, and second, by what authority are you not allowing it?
