LICENSE TO CARRY (CHL) COURSE JANUARY 24th
On Sunday, I'll be teaching a License to Carry (CHL) certification course at the A-Zone. $75. Includes range and classroom, including the new material on open carry. Class runs noon to 5 pm.
2016 Paul T. Martin Preparedness Conference January 9th
January 9th is the date for the 2016 Paul T. Martin Preparedness Conference (previously known as the Suburban Dad Survivalist conference) at the Cabela's in Buda. This event will include presentations on cybersecurity (Jack Jania), open carry (Karl Rehn), the aftermath of a self defense incident (John Daub), travel safety (Paul Martin), pets & emergencies (Allen Codding, DVM), building a disaster resilient home (Suzanne Thompson), solar energy (Cliff Cheadle), and more. This is a bargain at $50 for all day.
JANUARY 23 LOW LIGHT SHOOTING
Many armed confrontations happen at night, yet low light shooting is a skill that most armed citizens have no training in, and never practice. This 3 hour course teaches the use of a handheld flashlight, weapon mounted light, night sights, and lasers for shooting in low light. Bring the gear you own and learn to use it, and/or try some of the different lights and sights on our loaner gear to learn about the pros and cons of these low light shooting tools. This class is a bargain at $60. Nobody else in the area offers a similar course, and we do not have another session of this course on the spring schedule.
Students that have taken this course before can attend for the even-lower refresher price of $40.
