Yes, online CHL courses are available and perfectly acceptable. There are several legitimate websites, including the Oregon State Sheriff's Association, providing OR CHL education and certification at OregonCHL.org
I agree, though in fairness pretty much all CCW training goes out the window during a lethal force encounter. Range qualification is equaly worthless. What counts is reguler practice.In my experience, all the education and online courses don't mean a hill of beans when the caca hits the fan. The bullets start flying and the cordite fills the air, clicking a box on the internet won't help you one bit.
I think one should actually handle firearms for a class to be acceptable.
