An important message from the GM...

   Several Concealed Handgun Permit Instructors who are certified by the state have been accused of "selling" certificates. If you are interested in obtaining your Concealed Handgun Permit, and you are offered a course that is shorter than 8 hours, beware.  This activity could have negative effects on your application process as the state sends people to these classes to seek out this very activity.  If, on the other hand, you are looking to get the most out of this class.... I think you know what to do.
