Cotton wrote:The details still have to be worked out, but I have scheduled another Texas Firearms Instructor Conference for Friday, August 9, 2013 from 9:00am to 4:00pm at the Hobby Hilton. The format will be the same as last year, but some of the topics will change. Each speaker will also be given more time to cover their subjects.

Obviously, a legislative update will be a big part of the conference and Jeff Hewitt with Lockton Affinity will be back to talk about available insurance coverage that every instructor should have, especially if they don't own their own shooting range. This conference isn't limited to CHL instructors as it will cover topics important to all firearms instructors. In view of the legislative changes taking effect on Sept. 1st, one session will be devoted to an instructor roundtable giving everyone an opportunity to ask questions, offer suggestions and develop ideas on how to proceed with both CHL classes and promoting additional training to CHL students.

Other topics will be selected based upon input from those who attended last year and had suggestions for additional subjects of interest to instructors. If you have any ideas, just post them here.

The fees will be the same as last year; i.e. $99 early bird discount (prior to July 19th), $125 thereafter. I hope to have registration open by June 10th or earlier.
