FIREARMS RANGE & QUALIFICATION
As mandated by the Texas DPS
The Texas Concealed Handgun License Proficiency Test is not a difficult shooting test to pass. It is a timed test designed with plenty of time to take your shots accurately.
Handgun LTC Requirements
There is no minimum caliber to legally carry as long as it is a legal pistol.
There is no longer a classification of concealed handgun license. If you qualify with a revolver you can carry a semi-automatic.
All handguns will be inspected by instructors for the safety of the shooter, instructors, and other students. Unsafe handguns will not be allowed for the shooting proficiency test.
Any student not following safe gun handling procedures on the range or in the classroom will be asked to leave the classroom and range. NO REFUNDS for safety violations.
