Choose Between Two Options

Over the course of approximately 10–11 hours, instructors teach the Texas Department of Public Safety’s required curriculum that qualifies students to apply for state concealed-handgun licenses, or CHLs. After breakfast tacos, the morning's classroom work covers topics such as the basics of safe handling, nonviolent conflict resolution, and the legal obligations of holding a CHL. Students then break for a working pizza lunch before moving to the range for supervised live-fire training. Should students successfully complete both the classroom and range portions and meet the state's eligibility requirements, they may apply for CHLs.

Today's deal does not include gun rental and ammo for the range, which costs an additional $40. It also does not include any further application costs, such as fingerprinting or processing fees due to the DPS. Classes are typically scheduled Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 6:45 p.m.

The Groupon Guide to: Kindness

The universality of the human experience serves as the connective tissue between all the people, making us truly brothers and sisters in the experiment called life. Here’s how to not mess it up for everyone by being a dingus:

• Push superhard on revolving doors to treat your fellow passengers to a spontaneous merry-go-round ride.
• Collect the old video games you don’t play anymore and leave them in a basket on the doorstep of a church.
• Never eat the last slice of pizza; make two people compete for it.
• If you see a house on fire, run in to save people regardless of your level of fire-safety training.
• Adopt a pet! It can be someone else’s pet if you’re like 90% sure you’ll do a better job.

How can you make the world a better place without having to work very hard?

  • The staff made all 10 hours enjoyable and informative. I especially appreciated the common sense approach they took to explaining what a CHL means.
