I was thinking about the instructors who might say, "but how will the students get the latest info on the laws?" . . . then I remembered all of the threads here about grossly uninformed instructors, and how some of their more scrupulous students noticed their own incompetence and sought supplemental info online that eventually led them to our little community here.Keith B wrote:I am an instructor and believe there are enough people out there that do not stay up to date with law changes and need to be updated and let know about them. I would not mind seeing some type of online test with a larger question pool and random questions being chosen from the pool; that would at least require them to study the laws.
As for shooting, there are a lot that come through that haven't shot in 5 years (last CHL proficiency). I think there still needs to be that portion. Some of our worst students on the range are the renewals.
No matter what renewal mechanism we come up with, there's going to be a licensed subset of uninformed out there.
This isn't objectionable to me.VMI77 wrote:Purplehood wrote:I think that renewal "classes" should be an online review of current laws related to the CHL and an e-signature affirming that you have read them.
I could go for that too.
I'd even be willing to buy a $5 handbook with the new laws at the time of renewal. . . or it could be added to the current fee.RoyGBiv wrote:It'll never work.

A class definitely isn't necessary.
