And don't tell people taking the class that once you get a CHP you can't OC

Who ever said that? Not that I really recommend OC'ing at all because of the hassle involved.

I'm messing with you. From time to time people come on here and tell some of the crazy **** they've been told by their instructor.

That can't OC after you get a CHP has been one of the things.

wow... lol. I hear "shoot to wound" a lot, but nevertrade one right for the other. We should make a "dumbest thing your instructor has told you" thread : P

Not a instructor but a LEO story. My buddy got his CHP about a year ago and the Police Chief from a very small dept told him he couldn't have his "clip" in his gun in his car.

 

[returningliberty]

That's awful. I know we can't expects LEO's to be experts on the law, but that's a bit overboard lol.

Well, I got my instructor insurance. Was pretty easy, I've never bought insurance online before. Took five minutes.
Looks like I'm set up to a weekday evening class, but I'd like to do a weekend class too, somewhere. If anyone has any suggestions on where I might get a classroom/range for weekend use I'd really appreciate it.

Which insurance did you go with ????? if you dont mind me asking, you can PM me if you want to take it offline .......

Not sure if there are new options now, I have been with the same one for a while now so who knows

 

[returningliberty]

PM inbound

Actually there is a instructor in the New orleanas area who is telling his students that. When LOCAL offered him some of our handouts he told us. Not all instructors are teaching the correct information.

Wait, he was telling his students they weren't allowed to OC ever? Did you ask him which statute that came from, or what planet He's from?

Congrats on becoming an instructor. Good luck and keep it safe and clean.

Well, my first class is scheduled for a weekday evening split course, not the Best possible outcome, but certainly the best compromise between myself and the range hosting me. I'm satisfied with it. I guess we'll see if there's a client base for it lol.

CHP Instructor John Gauthier of OnTarget tells his students that once they have a CHP they may not openly carry a pistol in La. This is straight from him to me and another LOCAL member after we offered him some of our pamphlets to include with other teaching materials. We have also heard from students of his that he is teaching this in his class.
Specifically, Mr Gauthier stated that if a person was issued a permit by the state and was carrying that permit in his pocket, he must cover/conceal his firearm. If the person wants to open carry he must leave his permit at home or not have one on his person when open carrying.

I'm not going to call the man a liar, but I am aware of zero statutes or regulations that come anywhere close to saying that. I wonder who told him that or if he ever bothered to call LSP to find out if he was full of it.
/shrug.
Btw, I'd like a few of your pamphlets, where can I get them?

Having the concealed handgun permit gives you the priviledge of "concealing" your handgun. That means you have the option of open carry or concealed. Anyone can legally open carry.
