Well, it was interesting but not super fun. At least it will give us some time to talk circumstances, scenarios, etc. also impressed to me that I prob should pony up for [Pre-paid legal service]. Shoot smart has pretty stringent safety rules. I haven't shot on an indoor range in years so I had forgotten the crazy rules some of these places have. Like 2 seconds between shots, no drawing from holster, and 2 handed gun grip. I've never shot weak side with a two handed grip since the only reason I would do so is if my dominant hand was injured. I didn't even take Elsie, so I just shot it normally and scored a 244 with my G26. Still fun, and it opens up some convo. Btw, my gf shot a 235 with my G19 and I'm really proud of her! I think I'm going to become more active on these forums and get her to sign up too. Fun times in the shooting world.

Wow! Lotsa replies. I actually live 90 minutes from the gf, so I'd just be hanging out at her house if I didn't go to the class. Just thought it would be cool to support her. I'll probably discuss with the instructor. I'll be taking it at shoot smart near arlington in the morning. I've actually taken the chl course twice. The first time, I decided I wasn't mature enough or ready to carry a firearm so I never sent my paperwork in. Practiced a lot, went to training, learned some humility, and went back a couple years later. Been licensed and carrying daily for about 6 years. I'm looking forward to the class. I find it interesting.

It's free though, and I do need to get caught up on current laws, etc. I haven't been super observant of law changes, etc as of late, and I know a lot of new stuff has come down the pike. Mail in renewals are a lot more convenient, but they have downsides as well.

I've had my CHL for years, and my girlfriend is taking hers this weekend. Her friend that was going with her flaked out, but paid for the class, so I'm going to go for free. Just to get caught up on new laws, and to spend a little time with her. My question...I want to make the shooting test more fun. I regularly switch between carrying an LCP in my back pocket, and a Glock 26 IWB. I train quite a bit with the glock, but not a whole lot with the LCP. I'm considering taking the shooting test one of two ways just to mix things up.

1. Take it with the LCP
2. Take it with the 26, but do it all offhand with my weak hand, the way I practice sometimes in case something happens to my dominant hand.

Do yall think they'll let me shoot it like #2? That's my first choice since it adds a bit of a challenge, but taking it with elsie sounds kinda fun too.

btw, GF is shooting my G19, and she's scored in the 240's each time we've done the drill to prepare for the class.
