LOL! Very good.
By “Beginners CHL Class” I assume he means that you’re not taking a class to renew your CHL.
BTW - If you are an honorably discharged veteran, you can get your CHL for half-price ($70). If you are active duty or reserve there’s no cost.
Even better for me. Third renewal time and I got to renew my CHL online for (IIRC)$35.00 here in Texas! My wife still has to go to renewal class next year, though. She got her first CHL and was a Russian citizen at the time! God Bless Texas.
