He also told us that the no guns signs carried no legal weight and that they did NOT, by law, prevent you from Concealed Carrying in any such place and that all you had to do was leave if you were caught carrying.
Yet...
LRS 40:1379.3 §1309, G, 13: ...any other property or premises where access by those possessing a concealed handgun is restricted by the property owner, lessee or lawful custodian.
According to LSP Concealed Handgun Permit Division the sign is a restriction by the owner.

To bad you did not record the class, maybe the next person taking it will.

I have heard of a good number of privilege instructors were full of it, in a lot of states. As hard as it is, probably the best thing to do is suck it up, and finish the class. Wish these states would create a classroom outline that the instructors must stick to or lose there credentials to teach.

Talk with Paul Murry, owner of Shooter USA. Paul and many of the non-LEO staff at Shooter OC around town quite often. Paul hosts the CHL classes at Shooter. He is a NRA certified instructor and often teaches the classes himself. If the guy is spouting untruths, Paul will want to know.

I am disappointed to hear you have gone over to the dark side, even though I hear they have cookies.:lol:

I have a mental image of you doing that course of fire with your old .357M - you would set the targets on fire, claim 10X for all shots, and dare anyone to prove you wrong.

BTW, did you go for the ADA accomodations or do the course of fire like real people? (We need video of you drawing from your murse from the seated position.:uhoh:)

stay safe.

That was a Long-Slide 9mm Winchester Magnum and you bet I shot from my wheelchair using the same range and target setup as everyone else! :dude:

My Words being twisted

I never said you WILL be arrested. I teach this class within every aspect of what the law provides. I 100% agree that anyone and everyone should be able to open carry a gun. Plain and simple it scares people who have no clue about guns and are ignorant about them. The police could posibly be called for this reason.

You may not have MEANT to say "will" but there are at least 3 of us taking the class who heard it that way. Had we heard it any other way, this thread would not exist. I can accept it being a mistake and if it isn't presented that way in future classes that is all one can ask for.

Au countraire - only those that are legally allowed, not otherwise disqualified, should open carry, unless you are supporting doing away with all restrictions.

Plain and simple: I'm wondering if because you have concluded that "it scares people" that you are thereby unconsciously promoting/recommending keeping the gun hidden, concealed, not openly carried. If everyone were to follow this line of reasoning, we would soon lose the right to OC by default.

It is through normalizing the practice of OC (educating by example) and the opportunities for dialog that will further acceptance of the practice. Those LEAs or individual LEOs that do not understand or won't accept a legal act by a LAC can be educated/corrected by other administrative or civil means.
