This is the Flagship course that originally set Cold Bore Tactical, LLC apart from all others in Central Texas!

I have found that by conducting the Texas LTC Course over two consecutive days the students are able to walk away with a higher level of confidence, both with a deeper understanding of how to stay on 'the right side of the law' regarding handguns and the use of force as well as demonstratable confidence in the daily carry & use of a handgun from a holster. 

Course Outline

  •   This course has both an academic and hands-on portion, with a PASS / FAIL written test and a PASS / FAIL range proficiency test. I prefer to conduct the class over a two-day period, as this allows me to cover some additional material and use a hands-on approach to dry fire instruction in the classroom.  I can conduct the LTC class in a single day if you prefer, however you will not have time to benefit from the extra classroom & range training.

    The following is a typical two-day Cold Bore Tactical LTC Course Training Schedule:
Topics annotated with an asterisk (*) are taught using a hands-on methodology, which has repeatedly been the item that truly sets this training apart from all  other CHL / LTC courses in the Austin area. I'll coordinate with you prior to the class date to ensure that I have the appropriate caliber of dummy rounds / Snap Caps on hand to support your hands-on learning experience in the classroom.
