My History
This is who I am
I am a Marine. I am a family man with a wonderful wife, son and daughter. I take their safety seriously.
I have been teaching for over 50 years.
When I returned from Vietnam in 1969, I began teaching handgun and rifle at Camp Pendleton, California. When I was discharged from the Marine Corps in 1975, I decided to continue teaching handgun, handgun safety and self-defense tactics. I got my first concealed handgun license in Florida in 1981 and taught there until moving to Texas.
When Texas introduced Concealed handgun licenses in 1993, I got mine. I got my NRA certification as a Basic Handgun Instructor. Then, Texas decided to have applicants go through an 8-hour class to qualify for the CHL. I then went through the DPS License to Carry Instructor's course, which was a 5-day course and received my License to Carry Instructor certification. I have been teaching CHL (now License to Carry) since then.
A year ago, I decided to also open a Private Security Training School. I am a Private Security Level II and Level III (armed) classroom and firearms Instructor, now contracted with numerous Private Security Companies, to train their security guards. Although I am retired, I continue to train people who choose to carry a firearm for personal protection, because I am passionate about helping and making sure that when individuals carry a firearm for personal protection, they never become the victim.
Although Texas is a permit less carry State, I still, always, recommend that people get their LTC in order to understand Texas laws, where you can and where you can't' carry, handgun safety and self-defense tactics. Another benefit of possessing a LTC is that there are 39 other states that are reciprocal with Texas and recognize carrying a firearm with the Texas LTC in their state.
