For just $40 per registrant, the clinics deliver a high educational impact at a low cost. The next clinic for 2015 is scheduled for October 30 in Diboll.
Reserve your spot at the October 30 clinic.

September Webinar on Cities and Firearms On January 1, 2016, the law allowing open carry of a handgun by a license holder goes into effect. As with concealed carry by a license holder, the legislature has limited how cities can regulate license holders. In addition, license holders will, with exceptions, soon be allowed to carry a concealed handgun on a college campus. This legislation, combined with more frequent rallies and gatherings dedicated to the open carry rifles, has led to confusion about the law in Texas. This webinar will address state law and municipal authority over the regulations of "firearms" (e.g. rifles, shotguns, and handguns).
Stay on Target: Cities and Firearms Webinar Thursday, September 10 10:30-11:30 a.m.
Register early. The webinar will sell out.
