And you are obviously one of those Arfcom style idiots who has taken a concealed carry class and go to the range a few time per month and all of a sudden you are an expert shot. I typically stay away from posers like you. You even used the Arfcom nerd slang "operator".

I’m taking the class 12/14.

The place I’m going comes highly recommended for a lot of people in my area (Toledo area) and the guy points out on his web site that he has a buttload of guns handle during the class to get an idea of what will work best for each person, and encourages people to hold off on buying something until after the class.

So, I will be doing that….leaning towards pretty much the smallest 9mm I can find, or possibly a .380 still…I’ll update later after I decide. I’m sure I’ll be a gun owner in the next month or so, I’m pretty impatient.

Me?;1548235 wrote:LOL...what? I have no idea what Arfcom means, but because I used the word operator that means I'm a poser? If you believe that then if anyone has exposed themselves as a poser it's you. Operator is a proper term to refer to anyone in special forces.

I'm not an expert shot, but I'm a damn good shot. I shoot A LOT, so what? Nothing happened "all of a sudden". I've put a lot of time in, spent a lot of money and learned from a lot of people who are experts. Please answer my question, since you seem to insinuate that you know more than me (though I never claimed I was an expert shot), and tell everyone that classroom time is more effective than range time.

LJ;1548243 wrote:I already answered the question. The CHL class is not meant to be a shooting proficiency class, it's meant to go over the laws and your liabilities. Take some TDI classes or even contact the multiple instructors who offer advanced concealed carry classes which focus on defensive shooting techniques.

TedSheckler;1548236 wrote:More than likely, your class will have .22's or other small caliber guns. My advice is to still hold off and go to a gun range that will allow you to demo many weapons before you settle on a purchase. A place like Black Wing in Delaware is great. That's pretty far from Toledo and I'm sure there are ranges like this up there. Find one and spend lots of time demo'ing different calibers and guns. Then make a choice. Don't decide just from your range time in your class.

You're insinuating that we didn't cover everything that is required in the classroom
