If you have a Concealed Carry licence do you have to prove you can actually shoot the Handgun you carry ?????
Like a simple double pop from the draw at 20 feet ?????
Wouldn't it be wonderful if those that owned firearms actually hit what hey were shooting at.
Personally I used to shoot a bit
Beat an Olympic Gold medalist in trap once
Used to be able to double pop from the draw at 20 feet in all calibers up to and including 45 cal
In the military fired 5.56, 7.62, 308 and 50 cal rifles
just believe that everyone who owns and fires a gun should hit what their aiming at
Agreed, Terry!
Not to de-rail the thread, but to your question, it varies depending on where you get your certification from. Around my area, classes are held at the hunting/gun shops and are generally taught by active or former law enforcement instructors. In my experience those classes do a MUCH better job on the hands-on testing portion of the training. Involves moving to cover, working reloads, shooting from various positions/stances, using dom/non-dom hands, etc. I had a buddy who took his class at a large "armory"-type gun store and was taught by "NRA Qualified" staff, and from what he said, the hands-on was a joke. There were participants in his class that were unaware of the differences between an autoloader, and a revolver....that to me is somewhat frightening.

My buddy and I make a multi-state, 10 day to 2 week trip every year and have found a great, readily available lodging option. Whenever possible, we stay at KOA in their Kamping Kabins (I know..hokey name). The base unit always has a full size bed and a set of bunks. Depending on the local weather, there will be heat and a/c. Some have small refrigerators and I've even found one with a small TV. Porch swing and picnic table. Fire ring. And I've stayed in them from Bar Harbor, Maine to Tombstone, Az and, without exception, all the restroom/shower facilities are always spotless. We've paid as little as 30 bucks, and as much as 90 (Deadwood during Sturgis week), but the average is 50. Safe travels.....
Oh, and if you purchase their frequent kamper kard (yeah, more hokey), you save 10% and accumulate points that add up to further cash discounts.
