I took my class yesterday at the gun show in Orlando, FL.

Total joke of a class, the guy talked for about an hour, a written test that you just had to circle "yes" about 10 times, and then we went to a range to fire 6 shots at about 5 yards.

I'm happy that the whole process only took 2 hours, but its scary that people can be carrying around a un with this little amount of testing.

Here's mine from a few months ago here in Minnesota. Shot with my 4" Colt .357 using .38 Special +P's before I got my XD.

Course of fire:

From 15 feet: With two hands, aim and fire 5 rounds in 10 seconds.
With one hand, aim and fire 5 rounds in 10 seconds.
With two hands, aim and fire 5 rounds, reload and fire 5 more rounds in one minute.

Same as above at a distance of 25 feet.

From 50 feet: With two hands, aim and fire 5 rounds, reload and fire 5 more rounds in one minute.

I only count 48 holes. Either I threaded the needle (swish) on two shots or, more likely, completely missed the paper (probably...HOPEFULLY at the 50ft distance). 226/250 was my score, which I was pretty happy with considering I had very little handgun experience at that point. 175 or 70% was required to pass. There was no written exam.

Are you carrying your xd now? You might wanna check your carry laws. In Texas, if you qualify with a wheelgun, then you are only legal to carry one. In other words, no semi-auto.

Yes. In Minnesota, we're not limited to carrying the type of gun we qualify with and can carry as many guns as we please.

It comes up blank.

Is anybody else seeing it?

Maybe surf control is blocking that site at work.
