I have grave concerns regarding the lack of a renewal process in place and not just because I'm an instructor and my argument is self serving. Maybe my perspective is skewed by the sheer number of shooters I deal with.

First there is the typical shooter on this forum or in IDPA matches or other shooting or training venues whom train and practice and have an understanding of what that gun will do.

Then there is the more common shooter who has not practiced and has Hollywood's image of carrying a gun. While I support 2A I will tell you there are citizens who are legally carrying a gun that scare me to death. About a year ago a CHL holder shot a clerk in a gun fight and in his defense the bad guys locked him in the store but I can't imagine what that must feel like.

All I can do is continue to stress the importance of training, trust in God and hope I'm proven wrong.

While conviction rates are extraordinarily low for CHL holder's I hope lowering the standards doesn't reverse the trend...
