| Personal Observations on the CHL Qualifier... Okay, nobody likes to take a test and that's a given, but I have done a lot of range qualifiers ( A LOT!) and It is way easier than most think and is usually over well inside 20 minutes with comments following like "That's it?" or "That was not as bad as I thought it would be..." (If I had a nickle...). My advice has always been to be familiar with your firearms operation, (emphasis on safety and range safety). The rest is really pretty easy... Although it is not a requirement to take the qualification at the time of the class (typically thats the point) I have of late managed with classes as small as one, to as many as eight to accommodate a "shoot " on the same day as the class. This makes for a long day (about 12 hours total) but it is all done, and you should be ready to send in your paperwork at that time if you have your online application in hand. Again, you are not required to do it on the day of the class. |

Thanks, Dave |
| Qualifications I typically request these to be done on a weekday as it allows me to do the qualification in the same day. Other arrangements can be made if necessary. ** I offer instructional classes as well, in the Basic, Intermediate and Advanced use of firearms as well as individualized coaching sessions. Please feel free to call with any questions you may have. |
| A Word on the Cheap Class; I'm aware that my class cost a little more than others and feel in my heart that they are worth it for what I have to offer. This class is no joke and the subject matter is of a serious gravity and should be viewed in that light. I have bore witness to more than my share of CHL holders who have little grasp of the law much less the dire need for a real education and found themselves in the company of an "Instructor" who could not have cared less about anything more than a fast class and the shortest route to a students money. You get it all when you are with me and I will do all I can to not let you down. Think about it. Dave |

It is probably no secret to my Renewal students and those who have been trying to reach me that I have been "chronically unavailable" for quite a few months and to that I am sorry and wish to make a formal apology in the form of a brief and cryptic explanation... I have been debating on making a statement on this subject since I decided to start up my classes again and to help the healing process and possibly validate the fact that I am human... Very few years have been as hard on me as 2010-2012 as I have had a couple of life crisises manifest that I had not planned on, or for that matter ever anticipated... The details will be left to the imagination but if you can ask yourself "what are the top five worse possible things that can happen to a married man and in this economy, who has a family" and I'll just bet you will nail both of them with little effort. Anyway it left me feeling pretty useless and without purpose. I'm bett'n their are those who are reading this that can relate. I came to the conclusion that I had (pretty much) two choices. Shrivel up and die.... or in the immortal words of REO Speedwagon... "Roll with the changes" and "Keep Push'n" I have two kids who need me so they are the motivation and my reason for being. (I know, the songs are given away my age...). Again, I'm sorry. nuff said on that, D. |
