I learned to shoot long guns when I was a child, probably 6 or 7 years old. My grandparents had a bunch of land in the valley, so we used to shoot my grandfather's beer bottles off the edge of the river's banks. I also shot my grandmother's revolver, but I couldn't tell you exactly what make/model it was. I had wanted my CHL for a very long time, but it wasn't until the end of 2012 that the husband and I got serious about CHL. So I bought a Sig 2022 9mm, practiced at the range while I waited for our class date to come around, took the CHL, and now waiting on plastic. You should not be allowed to take the range qualification part if you do not know how to operate your weapon. I waited for 45 minutes on the range while the instructor helped a lady a couple of lanes down because the gun she borrowed from her friend kept malfunctioning. Practice with your gun, and then take the CHL.
