Level 2 requires xx hours additional training and xxx rounds additional fire at maybe 80% rather than the 70% level 1. Those with level 2 can carry anywhere in the state regardless of signage. Level 3 requires xx hours above level 2 and xxx rounds above level 2 at 90%. Those with level 3 are equivalent to air marshals and exempt from no firearms on airplanes rules. Renewal requires 25% of the training hours and 50% of the firing rounds every 2 or 3 years. I suspect there would be quite a number of people who would attempt the upgrades and get more training.
Yeah, I know the air marshal part is difficult if not impossible. Just an example.
From near as I can tell we have done quite with the CHL/LTC program we have now. We don't have a lot of bad shoots, we don't have a lot of incidental casualtys, but we have done pretty well defending ourselves when the need arises. I understand that many/most of us could use more training. There is no real history where lack of training has been a real public safety issue.
