Concealed Handgun License

The State of Texas passed laws that allow us to carry concealed handguns for self-protection. Obtaining a permit to carry concealed in the State of Texas requires a 10 hour Concealed Handgun License Certification Course which is outlined by the State Department of Public Safety and covers the use of force, gun safety, gun storage, dispute resolution and Texas laws regarding use of force as a defense and licensing requirements.

Obtaining a permit to carry concealed in the State of Texas requires completion of the course, qualifying with a handgun at the range, and passing a 50 question test. The applicant then applies and pays a fee to the State which completes a background check and completes the issuance of the license.

We offer the required CHL class and more. Our instructors break down the CHL law book to help you really understand the law and your rights. Classes are available in group or private sessions. If you want to learn even more, check out our Advanced Handgun Class!
