My friendly advice would be that I will be glad to teach them the basics (for a fee) and that they can retest during the normal test time for the next class but today, they will not get the CHL100 signed by me.

One of the first things they talked about up in Georgetown was integrity and passing someone who obviously will hurt themselves will not go.

If someone is stuck with a rented pistol and they aren't sure of the mag release or such, that would be the only friendly advice I would give.

Yes, I'm a hard nose and yes, I take the test seriously. In my opinion, it's already way too easy. If a shooter scores all 5's at the 3 & 7 yard lines, they can blow off the 15 yard portion, go sit down and still pass the thing with 25 points to spare.

Nope, not gonna do it. There's a driving test for a car (Is there still a driving test to get a license?) and if the applicant don't know where 1st gear is, I'm fairly certain they would flunk that as well.

He kept trying to explain the correct way, but she still couldn't figure it out. Finally he told her that if she put it in the wrong way she would shoot herself in the face. She finally got the point and put the magazine in so that the bullets were pointed towards the front.

I don't know if this is true, but it's a good story.
