The class will be limited to ten people and slots will be filled on a first-some-first-served bases.

Thanks for all of the feedback folks; you've been a lot of help.

I have have had some PM's and emails on from this thread and I'm going to schedule the first "program." I say program rather than class, as I view this differently from several stand-alone classes. As noted in my initial post, the target audience for this training program is someone who wants a structured curriculum to take them from basic handgun instruction to self-defense training, including legal aspects of using deadly force, and getting their CHL along the way. This program will require a commitment of time and effort and only people who fully intend to complete the entire program should consider signing up. The class will be limited to 10 people.

I'm putting together my training schedule for the remainder of the year and I hope to have something posted in the next 2 or 3 days.

Again, thanks for your input. Some people have mentioned that coming to Houston/Friendswood is too far for a four-course program and I fully understand. If this format is as successful as I believe it will be, perhaps some instructors in other parts of the State can adopt the same or similar program. To aid in this effort, I will be happy to offer any suggestions or insight I may have after teaching this first program. I would be thrilled to see this concept take off and be offered by qualified, dedicated instructors all over Texas.

Chas.

The combination of the CHL course with PPOH is a great idea. We see so many folks get their CHL and, while we all pray they never need to defend themselves with a gun, we pray a little harder for some.

Best of luck on this format, I think it will do well.

Chas.

Thanks for the PM. Perhaps you and your wife would enjoy taking one or more of the NRA pistol courses like NRA Basic Pistol, Personal Protection in the Home and Personal Protection Outside the Home. I have gotten very positive feedback on these courses I have taught, especially the PPIH and PPOH courses. I am especially impressed with the PPOH course. The NRA did an excellent job putting that one together.
