I can only hope that your instructor is as competent and comprehensive as the Deputy Sheriff in Dorchester County, SC, who taught my CCWP class, and is not an excuse for an instructor that was recently revealed in SC. If you do not leave your class with a real appreciation of what your firearm is all about, what the laws of your state are all about, what the fundamental safety rules of gun ownership and gun control are all about, and if you have not demonstrated all of this in a written test and on a live fire range in front of the instructor and/or his assistants, you may get a CCWP but, IMO, you have been deprived of what you deserve. Enjoy the experience--I found it to be a fun and great learning experience particularly having an instructor who showed us how he handles his firearm and went thru the ins and outs of the SC Code of Laws regulating firearms and self defense.
