Any recommendations on local establishments that offer gun classes? I'd like to eventually get my conceal carry license but I was curious if there were also some general handgun classes available as well.

Integrity FTC is solid and Aggie owned. Their courses are taught at CCC in Millican. I've taken their defensive carbine and home defense courses. They offer a pretty wide range of classes. In addition to the owner that is very knowledgeable, there is usually another instructor present that is prior military (some special operations guys, too). Look up their Facebook. They have something almost every single weekend.
Once you get comfortable, check out Brazosland Pistoleros. Shooting a steel or USPSA match is the fastest way to get good once you reach a basic proficiency.

I second the KR Training recommendation. Karl and his cadre are exceptional instructors and cater to a wide variety of skill levels. Their range is a little ways out near Lincoln, but it's well worth the drive.
I've never heard a negative word spoken about him by anyone that has ever trained with him, or any other professional instructor.txyaloo said:
James Yeager/tactical response is pretty polarizing in the gun training industry. His classes are a little too "gucci" for me. Not a fan of him personally either
I would suggest you look deeper then. Plenty of professional instructors have commented negatively on his training.O.G. said:I've never heard a negative word spoken about him by anyone that has ever trained with him, or any other professional instructor.txyaloo said:

Keyboard commandos and part timers, yes. Professionals, no.
The classes aren't "gucci". They are an investment in a skill that may save your life.
I used to instruct firearms for the State of Texas, and this is who I send my loved ones to.
There's the Irag thing......You are using bad/misinformation. I'm not trying to argue with you here, but you've watched a lot of Youtube.txyaloo said:I would suggest you look deeper then.

Him training "tactics" and "self defense" doesn't sit well with me considering when the shots rang out in Iraq, he jumped in a ditch and hid, getting his team killed. He's had multiple NDs in classes. He puts camera operators down range during live fire. He frequently encourages people to break the law with respect to carrying and he flat out doesn't frequently know what the law actually is.
I'm glad you feel confident sending your family to one of his courses. I wouldn't be comfortable sending mine and am providing a counter point for people to do some research on him before spending money, ammo, and time on his training.
If I'm going to a national well know trainer, it's going to be someone other than Yeager.

Yikes! Starting to look I to this guy. Did he ever get his license to carry back after it was suspended for making those death threats online?
