Registration:
Send an email with your name, phone number, and the
session date that you wish to attend (please don't send any
extra personal ID information by email; all I need is a way to contact
you by phone and email). If you pay by PayPal, be sure to add a note to
the payment specifying the date you wish to attend.
I will send class details the week before the class -- if you don't get that email,
it may be because my emails aren't getting through, I got your email address
wrong, or I didn't get yours. Please call me if you have not received the class details
notice at least 2 days prior to the class date.
Course location: 10201 Plano Road, Suite 107, Dallas, Texas 75238.
This is about 100 yards north of the intersection of Plano Rd and Loop
635 (LBJ), across from Ivey Lumber.

If our public class schedule does not meet your needs,
we can refer you to other qualified instructors who maintain different
public schedules, or offer private courses (as my work schedule permits).
For more information, call
me (see top of page), or email
instructor@chl-tx.com Note that email is probably the best way to
contact me during the day, because my desk is in a "dead" cell area.
Pro-Count, Inc. accepts payment by PayPal or check. You may also pay by
cash -- but please do NOT send cash in the mail. Gift certificates are
also
available.
Private CHL class rate is $140/person up to 4 students

Here
is what some of my students have to say about my CHL Classes:
Howard,
I just wanted to express my appreciation to you for the superior job that you did with our Concealed Handgun License course on Saturday, June 28. The classroom portion of the course was both informative and enjoyable and the range portion of the day was a great experience thanks to your expertise. I am looking forward to receiving my CHL and I hope that our paths cross again some day.
Regards,
-- Joe Brown (June '08 class)
"Howard,
I just wanted thank you for your valuable instruction in the CHL class.
I really didn't know what to expect going in, but I was pleasantly
surprised by your instruction and presentation of the state required
material. I will definitely recommend your class to anyone I know who
believes in the Constitution of the United States of America and more
specifically the Second Amendment."
-- Justin Barton (February '08 class)
"Howard,
Just want to thank you again for a great day of education, firing our
first handguns, and passing your well taught course. The other members
of the class were great fun too.
Tell your wife we, again, say thanks for her being there to notarize
our paperwork.
She is a delight. All the best"
-- Gail and Jim Spann (February '08 class)
"I wanted to tell you your class was very informative. I learned a lot.
Thanks again"
-- Bruce Burns (December '07 class)
"I wanted to
drop you a line to say
thanks again for the above and beyond experience we had with your
class. I
truly appreciate the knowledgeable instruction, and we would not
hesitate to recommend your class to anyone looking for a new CHL or
renewal. Best." -- Name withheld by request because of anti-gun
employer (October '07 class)
"I really appreciate you
taking the time to teach this class. I believe it’s a great service
that you provide. I enjoyed the class and will recommend to others that
they take it."
-- Andrew Barlow (December '06 class)
"Just wanted to tell you I
really enjoyed the class. It was much
better this time being in a small class. Last time there were
about 25 in my class. You made it an enjoyable experience." -- Don
Pierce (October '04 renewal class).
"I was very impressed with the efficiency and information I
learned in
a relatively short period of time. I'd highly recommend Howard's class
to anyone looking to become a CHL holder." -- Daron D. Sneed (December
'03 class) |
Live
a
long way from the class location?
I have recently been getting students from as far away as
Greenville in my CHL classes. While I'm glad to accept any student who
wishes to come to my class, I don't encourage anyone to drive
a long distance if there are any instructors closer by. If you
live more than about 20 miles from the Plano-Richardson-Garland area,
you may wish to check
the DPS
website
for a listing of instructors by zipcode. You can also check the Texas Concealed Handgun
Association
listing.
On the other hand, even if you live
farther away, and still want to enroll in my class, you are certainly
welcome!
I don't do this for a living; I do it because I believe in it! |

Unfortunately, since my new-applicant classes have been
filling up several days in advance, I can
no longer allow auditing guests, simply because I don't have the room.
If you wish to bring a guest to a renewal course (Spouse or Significant Other only),
contact me at least a day in advance so I can arrange sufficient seating.
Please note that non-paying guests may not enter the range area.
Couples, or more than one student from the same family,
enrolling
together for the New Applicant CHL Course
will be given a $5 per person discount.
Please note that you will not be permitted to take the range
qualification if:
1) You are pregnant (sound pressure levels in the range can damage the
hearing of your unborn child), or
2)
You are taking prescription medications which impair your motor skills.
Please also avoid things like cold medications which cause drowsiness. |

semiauto, so that they will not have the revolver-only carry

AMMO!).
