"passed" what .....
The average CHL class to get a license is from 8 to 12 hours ... (re-qualify is 4 hours?)
... the same topics in the minimum standards for a BASIC peace officer's course takes an average of 120 to 130 hours ... or about 10x the training.... and in most larger agencies the same topic training hours will run 200+.
Let me repeat: BASIC.
I am sure that you are an expert in decision making, instinctive shooting responses, and
what PROPER equipment to "carry" to an "appointment" in a motel room or someone's apartment .... since you know how to spell "testosterone" ... but 85-90% of the persons carrying a weapon lack the proper skills and knowledge to get into and out of a shooting situation without getting themselves hurt, hurting an innocent person, or going to jail! Even those "ladies" that qualified!
My guess is: When someone calls a weapon "a piece" ... they got a lot of their "training" and "insight" in front of the television or at the "movies."
Or...they are just talking the talk......they "perceive."
As far as I am concerned a person is not "qualifed" to carry a handgun on their person (or outside the house) until they can CONSISTENTLY un-ass their weapon, fire 2 double taps with soft-ball rounds into center mass on a flip target at 10 feet, and re-secure their weapon inside of 3 seconds.
Just sayin, and saying respectfully.
