Is there anything wrong with me charging him full price, since my expenses are the same, and giving him a CHL-100 just like he is a brand new student?
Why give him a CHL-100? It's worthless to him. And, you can charge him $1M if he is willing to pay it to attend your class. You just can't say it's mandatory and force them to come to the class in order to renew.

I have had many students that have no clue as to what has happened in the previous 4 or 5 years from their original class.
Some are misinformed, some not informed, some clouded by their brother, uncle, friend, co-worker, local LE friend, internet, etc.
I have had students show up to renewals that do not own a gun and have not shot in 4 or 5 years.

This is not a joke, I had one student show up a couple of years ago to renew and he showed me his "permit'. It was his CHL-100 from 4 years prior folded up nicely with his hunting license.
He thought that was his CHL. I cringed when I looked at it and thankfully it was not one of my students. Whew! He had taken it somewhere else and the instructor was not available anymore; wonder why?

I've already had a few express interest in sitting in on a class anyway for the "refresher" and shooting. There is not a problem doing this? right?
I'm glad that there are responsible people out there eager to keep up with proficiency. If they do sit in, I'm guessing I would just not submit them a chl-100 or include on the chl-8?, right?
Not sure about a fee for "sit ins"? any thoughts?
There is nothing in the law prohibiting a person from 'monitoring' your class. It is just no longer required for renewal. You would not give them a CHL-100 (you could, but it would be a waste of paper) and you would not list them on your CHL-7 or CHL-8. They are just 'there' for continuing education.
