Concealed Handgun Course - in Women-Only and mixed classes.
We generally hold a class every other Saturday from 9 AM - 7 PM (or a little bit later). Please call us to find out the schedule. We will also offer classes at other times if we get a large enough group.

The cost is $160 (this includes ammunition, fingerprints, photos, and notary - all done right here).This course will include all instruction necessary to obtain a concealed handgun license in Texas. We serve you lunch, provide the "packet" you normally have to send away for, and rental guns are available free if you want to shoot one of ours. Of course, the shooting portion of the exam is also done here. Groups of 10 persons or more will be able to take the course for $140 each. The group fee must be paid in advance and is non-refundable.

Concealed Handgun Renewal Course
Renewal courses are held every Tuesday. The cost is $80. Please arrive by 6:00 pm. The class begins promptly at 6:15.

Individual Instruction
This is an excellent way to learn to shoot. Our individual instructor, Jason Knowles, can teach everyone from beginners to advanced shooters. He charges $25 per hour, and that is a bargain. You could spend a lot of money on ammunition while you learn the wrong way or hard way, or you could invest a few dollars in learning the right way from the beginning.

Our reply to a recent inaccurate and misleading advertisement placed in the Thrify Nickel by a newly-minted CHL instructor. Please take the time to read this.

Intructor Qualifications

Don't take a course from just anyone! You must have full knowledge of your responsibilites and rights as a firearms owner. Our instructors are highly qualified, and we are pleased to present a brief resume for each of them.
