Let me know how it feels to beg the state for permission to exercise your Second Amendment right.
Like shit. It feels like shit.
Most of my handguns are C&R, but just a few I wanted that I really didn’t want to wait 5-20 years for them to be C&R eligible. It sucks, but I can afford an HQL and when it comes down to it not begging for my rights from the state makes no difference versus begging the state for my rights. Not like they are going to change the laws simply because I refused to ask permission and jump through hoops.
They know I own some handguns. Not like there was a question of the state that I owned any guns. So now they know about more property of mine some of them probably want to confiscate some day. Wouldn’t be mine if I didn’t get an HQL.
It feels violating

Get some new polymer or wood and steel in your hands. It may take 7 days for full effect, but it should be soothing. If not, repeat until the desired result is felt.
If a new handgun doesn't make you feel at least a better...you either picked the wrong one or have bigger problems than any of us can help with.
Why not buy something c&r then go get the HQL to skip the class?

I agree. You’ll have to spend money on the class so why not just put that $120-150 towards a C&R handgun and skip the class?
That is another option but this family moved here from NY and know very little about guns, I used to have to call the mother to make sure the boy could shoot BB guns. Several years later now the boy's father wants to take a class, get his HQL and buy a handgun for home defense. He asked if I knew of a good one, he doesn't want to take one and find out they suck and he got bad info.
I did a search of HQL threads but most talk about the printing aspect not training classes.
I'm going to bump this thread instead of starting a new one: I've been introducing a friend of my son's to shooting and today the boy's Dad tells me he wants to get an HQL and buy a handgun. He has never owned a gun before, so I told him I'd ask for recommendations on an HQL training class in the Baltimore - Harford County area.
I know a Hunter Safety course works and I've read Freestate ( in the middle river area?) offers one. Also where should he do his prints at?
My personal opinion is he ( and more importantly his wife, she looked scared to death when we were talking about this, ) would feel safer with hands on as opposed to Hunter Safety.
Anyplace to recommend?
Anyplace to stay away from?
Thanks
Top Gun Firearms in Fallston is my LGS. They don't offer HQL training themselves, but I periodically ask who they recommend (figuring they get customers asking a lot). Last time I asked, they liked Vision1 Tactical (www.vision1tactical.com), because their HQL training involved real, actual education for new-to-gun folks and not just the bare minimum to meet the requirement.
I have no direct experience with Vision1 myself (and, honestly, haven't asked recently if TGF likes anyone better). The website looks like they are in Middle River.
Do you need a HQL to inherit a handgun from an immediate family member?
