Strange, many military folks never get sidearms training. How to handle an M16 isn't the same as a handgun. Even cops who want to get a CHL have to do the shooting qualification even though they may qualify every quarter, half year, or year with a handgun as part of being a LEO.
Ghostrider:
It was about the most worthless "training" in terms of firearms handling, safety or shooting that I have ever experienced. All-in-all, the course could have been cut down to about half the time and, as mentioned, previously, my 93 year old, blind father-in-law could have passed the qualification."

Shuuuuu! You'll hurt a lot of folks feelings. Of course, you are totally right. I've taught the course and the best can be said about the shooting is that it assures that the carriers will take their gun out every couple of years and remind themselves how it works. The legal aspects are necessary but knowledge could be demonstrated by a simple test.

mec,
Oooops! My bad. What I meant to say is that the training requirements here are so tough that they are obviously precluding large segments of the normal, law-abiding citizenry from successfully passing and obtaining the permit. I think we need to take this issue to the legislature to get those requirements lowered or removed completely. It's for the children!

Ur Uh... Right!
A couple of years ago, we got in a batch of seecamp .32s. The things work pretty good when they are new. Later on, they start malfing and shoving the bullets back into the cases. Anyway three of us shot through the CHL proficiency demo with them. Scores Ran 93,92 and from the rank amature- 90. Good enough to pass the instructor's qualification. So, we at least know that you don't need sights to pass the course.
