- Handgun use and safety, including use of restraint holsters and methods to ensure the secure carrying of openly carried guns;
- Non-violent dispute resolution; and
- Proper storage practices for handguns with an emphasis on storage practices that eliminate the possibility of accidental injury to a child.
At the end of the classroom portion, students will take a 25 question exam. The class will then go to the range where the students must demonstrate handgun proficiency. Upon successful completion, the students will recieve their Certificate of Training (LTC 100 or LTC 101 form) that can be submitted to DPS in order to obtain their License to Carrry.
