Nah..."I" wouldn't be too surprised. Have spoke with a couple myself that weren't up to date.

However....I don't think the "safety" class was every actually supposed to go over the law that much. It really should be up to each person to learn the laws for themselves. That is why in general I think the less said is better....I'd rather see no information given than mis-information.

Gotta disagree with your point here. If we are legally required to pay our hard earned money to take this "class" on top of the processing fees and everything that goes to the state to get an HCP, I think they should be just atleast as strictly regulated and held accountable for the information they are putting out. Updating a movie every 15 years just doesn't get it. They should be required to sign a form stating that they are current on the states laws atleast every 6 months and the classes they give should be auditted every so often.

Problem is that would probably cause the cost of permits double.

I was thinking about moving my accounts from SunTrust to Regions, but after reading this my money will stay where it is, for now....

I agree they should be held accountable and even audited from time to time. Also that the state should give them more up-to-date information. My point is that I'm not sure the class was ever intended to teach the law in first place.

I wasn't as involved in things when the current permit system was put into place, but it seems best I remember the main reason for the class was to teach safe use and handling of a handgun. There was a concern that permits could be issued to those that had never held or fired a handgun before...so to address that they (the state) required a basic safety class. It was not even intended to be all encompassing including tactics etc....

Teaching what the off-limits by statute places are is probably a good idea, but that is a fairly easy and short list. But if they do much more than just give a list of the codes and what they say, like what is/isn't a proper 39-17-1359 sign...they are just giving opinion and not fact (one reason for so much debate on here at times) which is ok I guess...as long as they make sure the students know it is opinion. Sort of like some apparently think that 39-17-1306 means you can't carry in a courthouse instead of just a room where a judicial proceeding is taking place.

One thing that might help would be for the law to be more clear at times....but don't count on that happening.....

So again, that is why I say I'd rather them say nothing (other than telling the students they need to look it up) about specifics on the law, rather than them wrongly say some places are or aren't off-limits.

I bank at Northwest Georgia Bank, they have banks all over Chattanooga, but the branch I go to is right across the line in Georgia, they arent posted. Ive seen here that in Tennessee if it isnt posted your good to go, which is what I was told at my class, does the same rules apply to the state of Georgia? Ive been wanting to ask somebody at the bank, but I thought using the word handgun in a sentence in a bank might not go over so well, especially with a Catoosa County Sheriffs Deputy standing by the door...

I carry in Y12FCU as it is not posted. Someone even posted a while back that they talked to one of the higher ups about it and was told they would not post either.
