Others do need to know. His past students need to know they've been taught wrongly in a way that could get them in serious trouble. DPS needs to know that he's in need of a remedial class. And any club, range or store he's affiliated with needs to know that he's passing bogus information.

You don't have to drop his name here, but you do need to be in touch with DPS.

I understand you don't want to needlessly get someone in trouble. But how many past and future students of his will needlessly get in trouble --much more serious trouble than he'll face from being reported-- if you remain silent? Remember, the vast majority of them are going into the world armed only with the knowledge of the law that was taught to them in class. Few will seek out other sources of information like you have done by coming here.

Wow, indeed. This guy needs a long chat with someone in Instructor section at the CHL Division.

That is a seriously bone-headed twist on the law. If you know any of the other people who were in that class, I suggest you tell them the truth. I'd hate to see one of them get busted.

Perhaps he was talking about the places 30.06 notices have no effect, like government buildings.

Otherwise, the interpretation you posted is horribly wrong, and I can't believe a certified CHL instructor could have that mistaken notion.
