I hope you're not suggesting firing a warning shot!

IMO, your response was entirely appropriate. I was just "editorializing."

The 2 day course was being tought by a state certified firearms safety instructor who was as he let us know, also a certified concealed carry instructor.
Thoughts?

Forget about the CHL instruction and make sure that you and your son read and understand the hunting regulations. If he was so wrong about CHL, I imagine that you also got some other information that was not correct.

To answer your first question, you should always correct an instructor. How you do it is more important. Use a little tact and try not to embarass the instructor. You may want to talk to him/her in private during a break. Everyone makes mistakes. I have caught a couple errors from excellent instructors. They really knew the information, but misspoke. I have never had an instructor get defensive or angry for pointing out an error. Remember it goes both ways - I have also had my errors pointed out by instructors.
