Ready For My CCL Renewal Class

[Reloadron]

Two other potentially significant merits to having a CHL is that you can legally carry in a school zone and you can buy a gun from an FFL without a background check.

Oh yeah and I forgot that part. Thanks also for sharing as to course content. Years ago I want to believe it was a two day course when I took it. Anyway renewal is pretty simple. I do remember after I shot a few targets my instructor had me help with others. Some had never fired a gun before and on some we went from 9mm to .380 to .22 LR. The grand finale being disassemble and reassemble your gun. Easy with a revolver.

I knew a Texas Ranger who was stationed here on the border back in the 50's but his first name was Morgan. His son became a ranger, as well.

Some do it as a one day course. Some do it in two. We divided ours up into a 6-7 hour day in the classroom and then a 4-5 hour day on the range, part of which would be considered "classroom" time. Our stated goal was to provide a good introduction to handgun use and Ohio laws while encouraging students, to the best of our ability, to seek out more advanced classes. We stressed that a two day introductory class should not be considered sufficient training. I'm afraid that very few of the students took that advice to heart, but at least I can say that I tried. Students ranged from folks who had never touched a gun before the class to veterans with multiple combat tours.

Ha! I thought my renewal class was tomorrow but it’s next Saturday the 24th. Jeeze! Getting “old man” memory sucks! But now I have more time to reload my spent brass and practice more.

I may as well join the fray.

Just something about the white grips on a blued 1911. I need some of those.

Here you go then...

Equally sensational looking on a slightly smaller version!

That one is a Ryan Grizzle.

Do you know the distances SC requires? I took mine a while ago to I but don’t remember how far we had to shoot.

Thanks for the info. He definitely has several holster designs that I would be interested in.

My class is not until the 24th. My bad but I get more time to practice. Side note is that my slide was almost impossible to rack. Not sure when I first noticed it but it seemed completely stuck until I applied tremendous force. Then I remembered that this also happened about 10 years ago and caused feeding issues and jams. Sent it to Armscorp for a free repair and it was the barrel link pin standing proud causing the slide to drag. Sure enough, last night I looked at the pin’s left side and noticed it was happening again. A few passes of a file and problem solved. Now I can rack it with two fingers. Is this a common issue or just my luck? I tried to drive the pin inwards a bit but it didn’t budge. That’s why I filed it flush.

SLED recommends 3, 5, 7, 10, and 12 yds but the actual course of fire is, more or less, up to the instructor.

 

[J-Bar]

Missouri requires 40rds. Whoever wrote the law used that number to sell more ammo.

20rds practice then 20rds for qualification.

I also used a 1911 for my CCW Class back in 2010. I too had 40rds of 45 preloaded into magazines.

Last year my missus overlooked the expiration date on her concealed carry permit, did not notice it until the grace period for renewal had also passed, so she attended another class and range qualification to get another permit. Missouri doesn't require qualification with the gun you plan to carry, so she used her favorite revolver, a 1937 K22 Masterpiece. She began shooting the 20 rounds for practice. After the first 18 shots (3 cylinders full) and no X ring left in the target, her instructor stopped her: "You're done. You qualify."

Kinda proud of her.

I was wondering because I shot more rounds than I thought I should. I forgot to move the target (indoor range rail) and shot the same distance twice. I had to move and shoot the proper distance, so it was like I had an extra round.

Guess regulations are much more lax here. There is no penalty as long as you renew within six months of the expiration of your permit. If your initial qualification is with a semi-auto pistol you can carry any semi-auto or revolver. Initial qualification is 3-4 hours classroom work on basic firearm mechanics and legalities. No requirement to show technical familiarity with your weapon. At the end of festivities you're moved to the range and the instructor hands you five or seven rounds. (I don't recall at the moment). Keep all of those rounds on an 8x11 sheet of paper at five yards and your ticket gets punched. It was much simpler than expected.

He is easy to work with and the holster has been very comfortable with great retention.

Where is 'here'?

South Carolina used to require 50 rounds, but, about three years ago, when ammo was scarce, they took pity on us and reduced it to 25. At the same time, they eliminated the fee for the permit (you still have to pay the instructor for the class).

I think Missouri reduced it to 40rds. Back in 2010 when I got mine, I recall having to bring a revolver to the class and shoot with it.
Thankfully we don't need to re-qualify in MO.

 

[WooD]

I renewed mine a few years ago. My county has a set up kinda like the DMV. Gave her my old permit, she took my picture, paid her and in a few minutes I was out the door.

Florida has the constitutional carry now, but I'll keep my permit up to date for my multi trips a year to Ohio.

 

[Shanvanvocht]

Yeah, ours is a one and done also. We do have to renew every five years(to maintain Brady List status), but that is just a matter if submitting paperwork,

 

[Insignificant bill]

Tx is the same and now at least like the other permitless states if your license expires before your renewal arrives you can still carry. My advice is never let go of your license.
