I too just took the last class. The reason I want to instruct others is for a number of reasons.

I want people to be able to carry and have the ability to be able to protect them selves. I want to be able to teach people to this this correctly and safely.

I also believe the more law abiding citizens that carry the better and more safe our society will be.


I thought it was interesting that our DPS Instructors pointed out that if a person was becoming a CHL Instructor just so they could brag then they should not be doing it. While that probably seems obvious to us here in this forum, I am sure their are some who have thier priorities messed up. I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to be an instructor and feel as instructors and CHL holders we have to make sure we set a good example and show this in a professional and postive light. That is just my opinion.

I met some really good folks who were their because they want to help others. I met a only a few who are just looking to make a buck.


I took quite a lot away from the class. The DPS instructors....I cannot say enough good things about them. They are totally supportive. They were professional, friendly, and gave us good information.


Ripps' comment about the groin shot.....I heard that but I thought it was in reference to the attacker wearing body armor. (Like the court house shooting) Or thats what I thought I heard.
