What to expect in our Texas License to Carry Class

With the 2017 Texas Legislature looking at reducing the cost of a License to Carry from $140 down to $40, there has been a resurgence of interest in our classes.  If you have been thinking about taking this class, the following should help ease your mind and dispel some myths regarding this course.

The class is fast and easy.  The complete course time is only 4 to 6 hours.  We typically do the classroom session first and save the range activity for the end.  Both the classroom and range are indoors, so weather shouldn't be a factor.

This is not a high-speed, low-drag, tacti-cool class.  If you are looking to dress up and play wannabe special ops, this ain't your class.  Our training is designed for the everyday guy or gal that wants to learn about how and when to protect themselves from a violent attack.  Holsters are not required, and in case you were wondering, "tucking and rolling" with your guns is NOT allowed on the range.

Dress comfortably.  At least four hours of our training will be in the classroom (with regular breaks), and we will finish our training at the indoor range. We will provide eye and ear protection for your use.  If you have your own, feel free to bring them with you.  If you are looking to purchase a quality set of ear muffs, I highly recommend the Peltor brand from 3M.

Be sure to wear a shirt or blouse that covers the chest area and shoes that cover your feet (no sandals or flip-flops).  Hot brass falling between your toes is something that you never want to experience.

There is a short quiz at the end of the classroom session.  Don't panic, it is super easy.  The 25 questions on the test are true/false and multiple choice.  We cover everything you need to know in the class.  If you don't pass (which is extremely rare), you can re-take the test.

The range portion of the class is fun.  We put into action the shooting fundamentals learned in the classroom.  New shooters will get one-on-one instruction as needed.  Safety is more important than speed, so we take as much time as needed to ensure everyone leaves the range with the same number of orifices they had when they started the class.

Don't leave without getting your training certificate!  The CHL-100 training certificate is required by the state before they will issue you a license, so be sure that you get it before leaving the range.  During the course we will talk about the process to apply for your license, but feel free to ask any additional questions you might have.
