To be sure that stuff greatly exceeded the minimum requirements for a CPL in this State. Those minimum requirements amount to attending a rather boring lecture on State laws and taking a short quiz. Don't even need to touch a firearm, let alone do any live-fire work.
I would agree that the minimal qualifications course is a scam.
Just curious, would you feel the same if the renewal of your drivers license required another 6 or 8 hours of training at a cost of $150......?
