College Safety Seminar
(Situational Awareness & Self-Defense for Teens)

The “What If” Scenarios
This class is for groups only and combines physical response with mental analysis and judgemental training. A scenario will be given and the students will perform a response. They will then be coached on that response and be given a legal education on the consequences of that response. The goal of this class is to show the students the value of time in regard to actions, how to quickly analyze a potential duress situation, and how to expect legal action after self-defense.
*This class is conducted with non-lethal firearms (airsoft)

Help Me Pick My Gun
I offer this service to anyone who is new to guns and wants to make the best choice possible for their carry pistol based on their own preferences and any anatomical limitations. We will meet at a gun range with a rental inventory and you will shoot multiple firearms and we will analyze accuracy, comfort, personal preferences, and concealment. I can also offer advice on holster options and additional gear.
Cost: $50/hr (does not include range fees or rental fees), $150/hr (with Intro to Handgun lesson included)
Prerequisites: None (but Intro to Handgun is strongly encouraged)
Duration: 1 Hour
License to Carry (Texas only)
This class goes over the two requirements for one to obtain a License to Carry in the State of Texas (the legal classroom portion & the shooting qualification). The two components can be done separately or together (note: doing them separately could result in additional charges).
Texas is a Constitutional Carry State but I advise obtaining a LTC as it makes it easier to purchase firearms and travel with your firearms. It also gives you the legal education necessary to make wise decisions regarding your self defense.
Prerequisites: None
Duration: 4 Hours
Age Requirements: 21 or older (18 with special circumstances)
*$300 for single student
*$350 for couples
