The classroom training will cover all state required topics, Basic Firearms Safety, Safe Handling and Storage, Non-Violent Dispute Resolution, Use of Force Laws, Civil Liability (presentation by Texas Law Shield), Texas Handgun Laws, Firearm Selection, College Campus Carry, and Open Carry.

The range portion consists of fifty shots fired from distances of 3, 7, and 15 yards. It is preferred that students be somewhat familiar with their pistol and know how to operate it safely.

LICENSE TO CARRY CLASSES ARE NOT A LEARN TO SHOOT CLASS.  The State requires that all participants know how to safely operate a handgun prior to attending this class. If you would like an introductory course, please email us and we will be happy to set one up.

Each Student will need the following items in order to complete the live fire portion of training:

• Footwear that covers the entire foot (mandatory)
• A shirt with a conservative neckline (to protect against hot brass)
• Handgun: No minimum caliber required – .22s are ok.
  • It no longer matters if you qualify with a semi or revolver. You will be licensed to carry both.
  • Handguns should be in clean and safe working order
  • At least one empty magazine required for semi-autos
  • Ammunition: Minimum 50 rounds of brass-cased, factory ammo. No reloads.

No Gun?  No Problem!
Loaner guns are available for $25 (includes 50+ rounds of ammo).
