Re: written part of the chl test
Here is an example of one of the questions on the test....It was on my test and it went something like this.....
You attend a Dallas Cowboys football game, when approaching the ticket box, you remember that you still have your weapon on your body. Do you
A. check your weapon in with the person working the ticket counter
B. hand your weapon to your spouse to hide for you
C. go ahead and enter but conceal your weapon the best you can
D. return to your vehicle, remove the weapon from your body, secure the weapon in a safe area and lock your vehicle.

Re: written part of the chl test
That's a trick question. The correct answer is return to your vehicle and go to the shooting range instead.

Re: written part of the chl test
Actually, I'm kind of surprised nobody has yet posted the test . . . you'd think by now somewhere it would be on the Web, but either it isn't, or my Google-Fu isn't up to snuff.
There were a few "trick" questions with double negatives, so don't skim through too fast.
But it is pretty easy . . . since 70 is "passing" I'd guess that for anyone with more than a room temperature IQ, simply skimming the DPS materials would be sufficient preparation to pass.

As I recall, it was easier, more like this:kingalls wrote:Here is an example of one of the questions on the test....It was on my test and it went something like this.....

A. check your weapon in with the person working the ticket counter
B. go home and watch the game on TV
C. find out who is playing and bet against the Dallas Cowboys
D. return to your vehicle, remove the weapon from your body, secure the weapon in a safe area and lock your vehicle.
In all seriousness, read all of the questions a couple of times before answering them. A few of them can be a little tricky.HankB wrote:There were a few "trick" questions with double negatives, so don't skim through too fast.

Still pay attention in class, don't fall asleep. The instructor will cover every question on the test and you will know the answers if you listened.

Re: written part of the chl test
The test was a breeze for Mrs. Oldgringo as well as the range work. She had to submit four (4) sets of fingerprints and then a whole bunch of e-mails and phone calls to the Gov., DPS Chief, State Senator, etc., etc. before she got her CHL---- 160 days after intial submittal. I took the class, fingerprinted, photoed and submitted at the same time as she did - my CHL arrived about 60 days later as it should have. Who knows?
Yes, the test is the easy part.

I think he's kidding...
