According to commission policies, officers must fire at least 50 rounds from their handguns "at ranges from point-blank to at least 15 yards."

Would a 40x8 foot space be sufficient? Maybe a 50' trailer?

I agree with earlier posts, that much money doesn't justify 2%, unless they start qualifying like 4 times a year.

If this is such a good idea, some CHL instructor should put up $500K and drive around town doing requalifications for CHL holders... for that much $$$ I don't think that's going to happen, but it sure would make things easier for some.

Would the $500K provide enough protection within the truck to ensure it doesn't penetrate? What would you need, 1/2" or more steel and concrete liners? Top, bottom and sides! That's a heavy load!

I'm not sure how or why this could be an issue. The article makes it sounds like it's too much of an effort to qualify their annual exam.

The idea that the Chief of Police wants to spend 1/2 million dollars on a mobile gun range. I know there is one in Austin somewhere. Why is it so much trouble to go take the test? Is it too far away? I travel 20 miles at least twice a week to practice. It can't be too much to go qualify once a year.

What are the requirements anyway, does anyone know?
