I get what your saying now. I agree that if we are going to require a class, it should at the least teach something.

Doubleaction, do you know if this is correct. I also am wondering if Utah has a higher instance of CHL ers making stupid illegal mistakes than Texas. The class for Utah is only 4 hours and requires no shooting test. Same question for Pennsylvania where a Sheriffs signature is all that is needed. I honestly thought the main reason for the class was to pacify the anti-gunners when we were originally trying to get CHL enacted. It seems to me if States that don't require the heavy class time and what not don't have a higher incidence of CHLers violating the law or blasting the wrong people, Texas wouldn't either.

Now on the other hand, I would sure hate to have a situation where the political climate turned against us because the general public got worried we were all going to shoot up the place for lack of proper classes.

I was going to post the same question. There is nothing in the second amendment about being proficient in the use of firearms. I wonder what makes folks think CHL instructors are meant to "weed out" the undesirables.
