Texas Concealed Handgun License (CHL) Training
A Texas Concealed Handgun License (CHL) is one of the best steps a person can take for protection from the hazards that surround us each day. But it takes more than just a CHL to safely and effectively participate as an armed member of society. It takes ability, confidence, knowledge of the law, situational awareness, and a constant focus on safety. Quality training can give you all this and more, preparing you to be among the many who refuse to be defenseless.
Our classes can be held at your location or ours, with the shooting portion conducted at a nearby range.
You can get all the training and testing you need for your Texas Concealed Handgun License (CHL) in as little as one day. Classes can be structured to suit your needs. Some examples include:
| Original (10 hours) | Renewal (4 hours) |
| one 10-hour session | one 4-hour session |
| two 5-hour sessions | two 2-hour sessions |
| three 3.5-hour sessions | four 1-hour sessions |
