If you're going to get a CHL, you should already be well versed in the ways of safe gun handling BEFORE you get to the class.
There was one in my class that I dont think ever handled(Let alone shot) the gun they used to qualify. I would even be willing to bet that the gun was older than she was. She even had a negligent discharge that hit between themselves and the person they where standing next to. I am of the opinion that the CHL class should not be the first time you shoot your firearm. If you are going to borrow a firearm from a friend to take the class that fine. Just go out and shoot it a few times and know how itworks before you get to the CHL class.
