I mean how to load, where's the safety, how to clear a jam. I see this all the time. I think people are believing that once they by a handgun and get the chl permit that they are protected. Which I feel is not the case. In fact a person with no or very little handgun skills, is far more worse off than not having a chl permit at all. Just my two cents at what I see all the time.
It is not our place to judge other people. A CHL holder who doesn't know anything about their weapon and has never practiced with it may still be able to successfully defend their life against attack. Isn't that the point? Unless you believe that CHL holders are going to draw their weapons for no apparent reason, the likelihood is that their weapon will never see duty except in a life-threatening situation.
