To Begin Your Training Start With CHL-Plus
"Training is a Process, not an Event"
The Statutes require that the course should be no less than 10 hours. I use a Power Point presentation with slides and video clips from TV and movies that will keep the attention of the experienced shooter and not be beyond the understanding of the novice. The class is an open discussion format so that we all can learn from each others observations and experiences as long as we stay on the subject matter that must be covered and I can keep us on schedule. We will start off with firearms training and marksmanship to be sure that everyone is familiar with handling there particular weapon when we go to the range we will go over them before hand. Under the new DPS Qualification Course "any malfunctions that are encountered, the shooter will work through the problem and finish the course of fire in the allotted time." At 10:15 we will then go to the range for certification at an indoor airconditioned and climate controlled environment (an $8/15 extra range fee). We will then return to the classroom and complete the course. It is your responsible that you have received the required training and you must submit an affidavit to that effect. As of March 1, 2011 Applicants must apply on line or download the application and forms and all fingerprinting must be digitally scanned by L1 at www.l1id.com or call(888)467-2080 for an appointment. Hyperlinks are at the bottom of this webpage for your use.
The first class is classroom covering:
Handgun use and Marksmanship: 1.5 Hr
First aid and self help range safety: .75 Hr.
Range Proficiency: 1 Hr.
Ballistics and weapons maintance: .75 Hr
Lunch
The Final class is 6+ hours of classroom covers:
The CHL Statutes and firearms laws: 3 Hr
The Laws and Your Concealed Handgun License
Weapon storage and safety in the home .5 Hr.
Non Violent Dispute Resolution: 1Hr
Use of Force and Legal issues: 1Hr
Psychological Trauma of having used force
Examination and certification: 1Hr
There is a tremendous amount of responsibility that goes along with carrying a weapon in public and far more training is necessary than can be given in only a 10 hour course. This is a start that is more than adequate to get your license and will guide you in continuing your training process formally or informally.
This is an important decision that you are making and should not be taken lightly. The majority of the course is teaching you how to keep from using your handgun and thereby saving yourself thousands of dollars in legal fees and still protecting your life and preserve the lives of other persons. Get the most you can from your CHL course, after all, you are paying for it! It is information you may need some day.
