We are a private training & testing facility, not to be confused with any type of public gun range. We do not do retail sales of firearms or ammunition. The classroom and adjacent indoor range are used by appointment only for classes, practice sessions and civilian and law enforcement shooting qualifications.

If serious interest after studying up on these pages, contact Lonnie Ward at dcsa1996@yahoo.com with at least your contact information and selection. Please provide your preferred date(s) and time(s) and he will let you know if he can make it fit.  
TX "License to Carry" (formerly CHL)
We've been teaching Texas handgun license classes since the inception of the program in 1995. This experience has led us to offer several different options, based upon each individual student's level of experience (or not) with handguns. We have always specialized in small classes, to ensure safety and individual attention, with a maximum of 2 students shooting at the same time (and a bullet proof partition in between).

Our classroom and adjacent firing room are set up to provide a more comfortable learning environment for newbies and safety-conscious individuals than what is typical at a public gun range. 

Since March of 2020, in the midst of the Covid panicdemic and owner's semi-retirement, all classes are on a private basis only at times of mutual convenience. See the header above for our "menu", including our License to Carry page for the step-by-step process. 

Especially for ONLINE LTC CLASS/HOME STUDY students: If you a "do not have time" to read the ENTIRE License to Carry page here, please exit now.
​Additional Classes
We offer a variety of classes with handguns, shotguns, and rifles.

See "Other Courses" page. ALL COURSES ARE NOW ON A PRIVATELY SCHEDULED basis. Or as company or church team building events.
