Took the CHL course today and it was pretty darn easy. The hardest bit was trying to stay awake for the entire 10 hour course on a Sunday.

They went over the laws and some verbal skills you can use to deescalate a situation.
We went to the range and I think I managed to get the lowest score in the class, but I still qualified by 50 points.

For the written portion of the test the instructor went of the the test and then we immediately took the exam.
To be honest I would be surprised if anyone has ever failed this exam. I got a 100%. To me the CHL exam was much like the Amateur Radio
Tech. License exam. I my opinion it was just hard enough to prove that you were familiar with the material, but not hard enough to prove
that you know anything useful.

Besides an envelope full of completed forms and an instructors stamp of approval I don't feel any more ready to carry a gun with me than I did
yesterday. That being said I am sure the instructor covered the material required by the State.

Tomorrow the packet will go out in the mail. Hopefully it all works out from there. I suck at filling out forms and the horror stories I had read I
won't surprised if I have to fix something along the way.

Hey y'all!! I just wanted to introduce myself.

About 8 months ago my wife and I took a NRA First Steps Pistol course a few weeks later I bought my first gun a Glock 19. I try to get to the range regularly and I have become fairly proficient (Although my instructor told me I was a natural my first time out. Maybe it's in my blood or maybe I have played too many video games. Who knows.)

At the urging of my gun owning friends I am taking a CHL class for my birthday and applying for a license. I am not sure how often I will carry, but I am excited to exercise my rights to lawfully do so. I plan on carrying my Glock 19 and I am still trying to decide between the CTAC or the MTAC holsters.

One question I have is should I pre-register with DPS and take my packet with me to the CHL class? or doesn't it matter?

Thanks!
