Return to “Getting Permit- I have questions”
Oohhhhhhh. No one has mentioned that. LOL I wonder why? Yeah, Goldberg sold the range, and I was not involved until after he was gone.Paladin wrote:Back around '02-'03, "Borat" visited DFW gun range. Did an interview with Goldberg.
They talked and shot the MP-5K.
The video clip had some entertaining parts, but came out overall as anti-gun. Was on cable TV here, and on TV in the UK.
Just curious about what happened.
I have the clip of Ali G and my cousin, but I don't have a place to host it or I would put it up here. Its funny.Paladin wrote:The characters in the show are pretty wild, and done pretty convincingly.txinvestigator wrote:I know the show and the dude.

I just don't get the reference. Maybe I am dense today.
How long have you been at DFW gun range?
LOL NO, troopers do a MUCH different course of fire.tomneal wrote:I don't know if the CHL test is what DPS officers use to qualify.
I do know when the test was first discussed, some thought that DPS would develop a test that was "impossible" to pass.
SO...
The law stated that the shooting test could be no more difficult than the qualification test for DPS.

You are right about being a long day. We start at 0900 and end after 2000. That gives us 11 hours, and we take a short lunch and work while fingerprints and pics are being done.cxm wrote:Doing all in one day is difficult if the instructor acutally complies with the law.
Texas law requires not less than 10 hours and a maximum of 15 hours of instruction. It is pretty hard to stuff that all into one day.
My classes are done with the class on a Saturday and qualification the following day... which usually takes less than an hour total. That way I am sure I comply with the minimum instruction requirements.
A friend who is an instructor does the classes three nights and the qualification on Saturday. Both work... both of us make sure we give students all the required instruction.
Your certificate is valid for six months from the date of training. After that you would have to go through the process again.
Classes are really not a problem... you should go for it...
FWIW

I guess a follow up question would be, if I do everything, what is the time limit for me to send it all in (mainly how till I have to write a check to the state)Thanks!
I am the Training Director at the DFW Gun Range in Dallas. We do a class every Saturday and include the prints, photos, notarize your documents, class, range and paperwork.shawn wrote:I am north of dallas.
