Re: Is The CHL Proficiency Test Sufficient?

I have a few answers:

As far as the CHL program goes, the proficiency test is an undue obstacle to citizens wanting to exercise their right to self defense. There could be somebody who only intends to use their firearm for point-blank range defense, why should they have to shoot at 40'? We should know our abilities, act within them, and be accountable for the results.

As a test of real firearm proficiency, no, the CHL test should not be used for LEO certification, armed forces training, or as a mark of having demonstrated mastery of firearms. I don't think anybody imagines it to be so, but that's one way to answer the question.

In a word, it doesn't prove anything, so it might as well be done away with; and it shouldn't be an obstacle to our rights, so it should be done away with.

I'd like to see it done away with.
