    Finally getting CHL

    The whole Garland incident ended up being a motivating factor as I finally got off my ass and took the CHL class. I just finished submitting all my forms and I will do my fingerprints on Monday morning.

    About damn time.

    I didn't do too bad on the firing qualification but, as you can see here, I screwed up on my very last shot.

    I've been trying on my PX4 Storm Compact with an Alienware holster and frankly it feels a bit bulky. I think I'm going to get something a little smaller for my CCW. Anyone have recommendations? I would like to go with 9mm Luger ammo to match my Beretta but I'm not dead set on it..

      Garland? If you're white you don't need a CHL there.

        Our CHL instructors strongly advised against saving targets or posting photos of targets as they would be used against you in court by lawyers as proof of your potential intent..... it's a far fetched idea I had never considered, but you never know with lawyers.

          I have taught about 30 classes, and I have never heard that said between instructors or to a class. All of the evidence shows that under duress the body goes though massive chemical changes, thus you cannot predict how any individual will react in a given situation.

                Khar CW9 is what I carry most days.
                "Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, 1776

                  XD-S .45 here also. I haven't shot the XD-S in 9mm, but I'd imagine I would like it.

                  I'm actually doing my renewal tomorrow morning, but I'll shoot that with a 1911.

                      I thought you didn't have to take a half class and shoot to renew anymore? My third renewal is in December and we just renewed my wife's a few months ago. Just went on the TxDPS website and paid the money and they sent a new one.
                      You remember the stories John use to tell us about the the three chinamen playing Fantan? This guy runs up to them and says, "Hey, the world's coming to an end!" and the first one says, "Well, I best go to the mission and pray," and the second one says, "Well, hell, I'm gonna go and buy me a case of Mezcal and six whores," and the third one says "Well, I'm gonna finish the game." I shall finish the game, Doc.

                        I should clarify. I did a renewal class not long ago but spaced out and forgot to send in my packet. I'm doing the class again tomorrow, but I guess technically it's a "new license" since I let it lapse.

                          I've always thought this was pretty nieve. If intent was really a concern, the fact you took the class, which requires shooting a target, could be considered intent as well.

                            Yes I've heard the same thing said about taking additional training beyond the CHL. Lawyers will use anything they can....

                            Look at this way. If you are involved in a shooting it may likely end up in front of a jury. The opposing lawyer is going to use anything they can regardless of logic or ethics. It doesn't take a lot to sway the minds of the masses these days. There is enough anti-gun and illogical sentiment going around to land you in a heap of shit if you ever do have to defend yourself or your family. Why give them free fuel for the fire?

                            If the DAs and Lawyers weren't out to get responsible gun owners, the USCCA and TX Law Shield etc. wouldn't need to have such high retainer limits now would they? Face it the world we live in isn't really a gun friendly world inspite of the laws and legalities. That's why I will never open carry even though it is legal. I don't want to alarm the sheeple and have unnecessary contact with LE. Both of which are going to happen if you choose to open carry in TX.

                              From what I understood, you just renew online now. No class or shooting needed.
