Concealed Handgun License

Welcome to CHL Classes,

As an American, the Second Amendment gives you the right to bear arms. As a citizen, you have the right to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your property.

CHL Classes offers you the opportunity to get the required education and gun qualification to obtain a Concealed Handgun License from the State of Texas, which can help better protect yourself and your family. It gives you that sense of additional security---at home or away.

The state requires a minimum of 10 hours instruction, including gun qualification. The classroom part of the program is normally 8 hours and includes information about laws, use of force, conflict resolution, CHL responsibilities, gun safety, and other information that you will find useful.

During the Spring, Summer and early Fall (when we have daylight savings time), classes are held on Saturdays (8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) and gun qualification from 5-6:30 p.m. Lunch is provided during the one-day classes.

In late Fall and Winter, classes will be held on Fridays from 6-10 p.m. and on Saturdays, 8 a.m. to noon and gun qualification from 1-3 p.m.

Frank Phillips College in Borger and the Pampa Campus of Clarendon College have been gracious to let us use their facilities for the classroom portion.

We have access to two very good gun ranges.
In Borger, we utilize the Canadian River Archery & Gun Club, located north of Borger off of State Highway 207. In Pampa, we use the Pampa Rifle & Pistol Club ranges (indoor at Recreation Park and outdoor range on County Road D). (http://pamparifleandpistolclubinc.com/nra.html)

To qualify you will need a 32 caliber or larger gun. If you qualify with a revolver, you can only carry a revolver (and/or a derringer). If you qualify with a semi-automatic, you may carry a revolver or a semi-automatic as a Concealed Handgun Licensee.

What to bring? All you need is a gun, 50 rounds of ammo, eye protection (safety glasses, sun glasses, or regular glasses), and ear protection.

If you don't have a gun, arrangements can be made.

Arrangements can also be made for classes to be taught at any location---your workplace or your home---whether it's one person or a group of friends or co-workers.

Cost of CHL class is $75 for new applicants, $50 for renewals. Click on the DPS Concealed Handgun website for the information on the State's charges.
