Pardon me I have not posted here in a long time. I hope all of you are doing well. There have been several more active shooter incidents and several people shot in the last week for no apparent reason. One was shot for walking up to the wrong car. Another was shot for walking up to the wrong house and knocking on the door. This is not the country I grew up in. You must stay vigilant, constantly train for self defense in order to protect yourself. You must decide how you are going to protect yourself, your family and your property should you be attacked. If you believe you need to protect yourself with a firearm but lack the training to do that come see me. Here is a link to a contact form to tell me what raining you are looking for:

We had a great License To Carry class on Saturday 11/26. Nine students who all aced the written test and all shot well. We had a fun day with cookies and cupcakes created by Co-Owner Jesse Jones! If you are needing a class in December call now as commitments have been made for many other things but, where there is a will there is a way.

Howdy!

Thank you for visiting our site today! I will try to keep some things updated here for you. I am excited as Texas DPS has again started having First Responder Active Shooter Instructor classes. I am in the que to attend this class. After successfully completing the School Safety Active Shooter Instructor course at the DPS Tactical Training Facility I realized I want more training regarding active shooter situations. So hopefully I will be scheduled soon.

Also, this is the time of the year for our state legislators to file new bills to act and vote on. Several of these should be of concern to lawful firearms owners. Please keep track of them and let your Texas state representatives and senators here your voice.

Those bills are as follows:

House Bill 22, House Bill 106, House Bill 284, House Bill 324 requiring the REPORTING OF LAWFUL SALES of certain firearms and magazines to state and/or local law enforcement

House Bill 76 CRIMINALIZING the failure of a victim of gun theft to report having his or her firearm stolen

House Bill 88 and House Bill 447 further TAXING the sale of firearms and/or ammunition and firearms accessories

House Bill 110, House Bill 146 & House Bill 308 BANNING private firearms transfers at gun shows

House Bill 123 & Hose Bill 136 red flag GUN CONFISCATION legislation requiring surrender of firearms without due process

House Bill 129 & House Bill 565 RAISING THE MINIMUM AGE for the purchase of semi-automatic rifles

House Bill 155 & House Bill 236 BANNING private firearm transfers between certain family members and friends, requiring FFLs to process these transactions that would include federal paperwork for government approval at an undetermined FEE

House Bill 197 BANNING the sale or transfer and possession of standard capacity magazines that hold more than ten (10) rounds

House Bill 179, House Bill 216 & House Bill 244 RESTRICTING long gun open carry, with limited exceptions

House Bill 298 establishes a three (3) day WAITING PERIOD for firearms sales

Senate Bill 32 BANNING the sale or possession of commonly=owned semi-automatic rifles.

I am NOT going to get into a political debate here. I just want you to be aware of bills that have been filed in the Texas legislature for this upcoming session. Please use this information however you choose.
