I'm all for baby steps when that concept is applied to making incremental changes for all. But incrementally adding different classes of people tends to be divisive, especially if it gets stopped part way through the process. Consider the idea of reducing taxes by first reducing them for one group while promising to do the same for the rest.
I'm concerned that any argument used to justify expanding this bill to include third-renewers could be turned around and used to prevent expanding it to all other CHLers.
However, I believe I see an approach that would make this work for all. Alas, on the chance that I am thinking the same as those in the know, it would be unwise to discuss it here. I hope this goes as I expect.

What are the chances that this amendment could help establish the third renewal as a "proving point" for CHLs? It has already been determined that a CHLer at third renewal doesn't require training every five years. If this amendment passes as is, it would establish that a CHLer at third renewal is responsible enough to carry in these places. Do we run the risk of setting a precedent for future legislation to use the third renewal as a cut-off, similar to the way age 21 has become almost a de facto measure of maturity instead of 18?
