Welcome to SA Firearms Instruction & Training

LTC / CHL Classes (The Licensed To Carry class)

Our LTC / CHL classes in San Antonio normally takes 4-6 hours for completion. The course fee is $300. Four people or more is $75 each plus the range fee of $11 each. You will need 50 rounds minimum for the course of fire (no reloads or steel cased ammunition please) . Your handgun must be in .22 caliber or larger, revolver or semi-automatic. If you shoot a semi-automatic be sure to bring 2 magazines. It must be in good serviceable condition. There will be a 25 question test at the end of the class. This is separate from your range proficiency test. Please see the Course of Fire for detailed information of the range portion. This is not a course that teaches shooting. If you are a new shooter or an infrequent shooter please see other training classes that are offered prior to taking the LTC class. The One on One & Couples class is designed for the new shooter or infrequent shooter. This class goes into great detail in how to shoot effectively and safely. It takes more than ownership of a gun to be proficient. Shooting qualification for your LTC should not be your first experience shooting. This class will give you a solid foundation and confidence in the operation of your handgun. Please bring eye and ear protection, closed toe shoes, a hat with a bill, and a shirt or blouse with a high top to keep the brass from going down your shirt front. Dress suitable for the days weather, bring a water container for the range in the summer it will be HOT. A towel to wipe the sweat off would be handy. We also provide more information on where you can carry with your CHL San Antonio.
