However, if you sign onto the CC, there is a whole set of new regs. |
Actullay, Gary, the assistant DA and law instructor for the class said that is
not true. There are no higher legal standards for a CCH licensee. I asked that specific question in class.

So, now that you have been through the course, what are the answers to your first post? Also, how tough is the shooting qualification? I've been working with the wife and she's not doing too bad, she should pass. I think the shooting is 25 rounds and 18 have to be on target???
I don't imagine that we will carry very often, probably just when we travel. When crossing state lines it will be a comfort to know that most states will honor the permit. At least now I will be fully legal!  |
The shooting test is extrememly easy, even for a novice. Everyone passed in our class. Better to take a .22 target pistol than a 44 or 357. 5 shots at 1 meter, 10 shots at 5 meters, 10 shots at 10 meters. The target is pretty big- human sized. You have to hit a 18" square in the center mass- you can miss 7 times. Most peole didn't miss outside the square even once. Very easy!!
The written test is more difficult. Not much law, but lots of terminology about the gun. Mifire vs Hangfire, Squib. Know what the major parts of a gun; barrel, magazine (not clip), grip, cylinder, action, slide, etc. and how to clean the barrel (from the rear to prevent wear). If you miss any on the written test, they will work with you until you understand the correct answers. You will end up getting 100% on the written test of 25 questions. There is supposedly an NRA test on their site that mimics this test. Everyone who takes the class will pass.
Don't take the gun in with you. leave it in the car. The Tech center is back by the dorms.
The instructors, Dnny Gillium, Travis, and Gary are extremely good. I learned a lot from the class especially from Gary.
