My name is Chris McCollum, and I am a
Concealed Handgun License Instructor (CHL Instructor)
certified by the State of Texas Department of Public Safety. I am
also a certified Firearms Instructor.
Years ago, I became interested in learning
more about concealed (CHL) handgun laws, so I grabbed a
couple of friends and started looking for a Dallas Fort Worth
concealed handgun class. There weren't very many Dallas CHL classes
that offered much instruction other than that required by the
state. But after taking a CHL class in Plano, I quickly realized
that being licensed to carry a gun in public was NOT enough to make
one tactically proficient in its every day uses…..especially when
used under extreme duress.
What would I do if someone mugged me while
pumping gas? What if I was in a crowded store? What would I do if
it was pitch black outside?
Those thoughts motivated me to learn more.
Over the years, I took every tactical class I could find. One thing
that I learned while taking them was not only was I gaining an
amazing skill set, but I was having an absolute blast doing it!
What could be more fun than this?
The answer? Teaching CHL classes! I
started to work my way into being a
certified
Firearms Instructor through the internationally recognized
curriculum of the National Rifle Association. The next logical step
was to teach residents of the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex concealed
handgun classes in a way that was not only educational and met the
requirements given by the state, but was also fun and a lasting
memory for those that took my classes.
Are you looking for a Dallas CHL class?
A north Dallas CHL class? A Plano CHL class? I am based
out of the Allen and Plano area, but have classes for
anyone in the Metroplex. If you're looking for a concealed
handgun class (aka CHL class) in the Dallas, Plano, Allen,
Frisco, McKinney, Arlington, Fort Worth area, I am very
flexible with how and when I schedule classes and am able to teach
private classes if needed. But, I highly encourage you to get a
group together and take one of my classes. It is MUCH more
fun! For that matter anywhere in Tarrant,
Dallas, Collin, or surrounding counties then this is the place for
you!
Class is very laid back, informative,
includes everything you need to get your CHL...... and a
memorable experience.
Call me if you
want to get a CHL class together at your house, business, or
church! I'll tell you how you an get a CHL for FREE by getting a
group together. While I have classes every month, the groups of
friends that get together at their home, work, or church are always
the most enjoyable.
Finally, one of
the things that I pride myself on and feel is the best thing that
an instructor can offer is that your class fee gets you access to
me anytime you have a question as well as continuing education
opportunities that no other instructors in the DFW area will offer
you. If you're out somewhere and can't remember if it's legal
to carry there....call me. If you want to join one of our
Kids Shooting Classes....call me. If you want to join one of
my Gun Maintenance Classes to learn to clean and maintain your
guns.....call me!
