    I did my concealed-carry/LTC.. Many moons ago.. With Jon.. Owner/ Operator of Educated Arms.. Classes are easy going.. Nothing to worry about..Never handled a firearm?? No problem.. Jon and his staff ..will show you everything you need to know..to be successful.. Nothing to be afraid of.. And now, you can do the class portion online.. At your pace.. It's only 4 hours.. Then go shoot..and get qualified.. It's that easy!! I spent 7 years in the US ARMY with 2 Combat deployments to Iraq .. I highly recommend educated arms.. Give them a call.. And get qualified today

    The ar build Jon helped me with. Took his time to explain everything to me.

    I went in for my LTC class and arrived a little early, my instructor John was on his lunch break…read morebut let me ask him questions about the class since this was my first time pursing my license. He was very helpful and after he informed me what to do with my gun and ammo and after doing so I left to browse the store while I waited. Unfortunately the store didn't have much for my Springfield XD9 and the prices were very high compared to the gun store I normally go to so I didn't buy anything but the class was why I was there so it wasn't a big deal. Once it was time for the class to start I found myself a seat in the classroom while we waited for more people to join us, once all the people taking the class arrived the instructor introduced himself and after that we got right into it. The class was mostly going over gun laws and gun safety and what to do if you ever have to discharge your firearm for defense and what to do after, all helpful information but after a while it started to blur I feel like it would've helped me a lot if I brought a pen and paper to take notes but I ended up acing the test. The hardest part about the test was the wording of some of the questions so don't over think it if you find yourself taking the test just do your best. After the test I found my instructor who was helping one of the other students check out as he needed ammo, he graded my paper and instructed me to meet him by the range entrance where we watched the class ahead of us and waited for our turn on the range. I highly encourage you to watch if you are taking this class and have one ahead of you, it helped me understand what to do as the store was very loud and I had trouble hearing the instructor at times, I also had to double check information with him so I knew that I was making safe decisions on the range. After the class was done and it was our turn we went in and placed our gun cases and ammo on the bottom shelf and waited for instruction, once we were cleared we made sure that our guns were pointed down range when we opened everything up and once we were cleared to do so we began to load and make ready. We followed his instructions and fired when told, I was nervous before going in but once the shooting started it became very easy and I was a lot calmer, for me I think it was the anticipation and anxiety of making a mistake on the range but I listened and reminded myself gun safety rules in my head and I ended up not having anything to worry about and by the end of it I scored 246 which was well above passing. We met back in the classroom and after we were given our final scores we were told where to go and what to do to apply for our concealed carry license and said our goodbyes and left. It was my understanding that it was John's last day, I wish him well in Arizona and I appreciate having him with us in the classroom and on the range that day. I wish him well. Edit: I also wanted to add, I highly recommend practicing with your firearm before taking the class I had been shooting at 25 yards with my pistol before taking the class and when I went in to shoot I did a lot better than I would have if I had been shooting at closer distances.

    By far my favorite place to get some good ol' range therapy. Nothing melts stress away quite like…read moresending a few rounds downrange and pretending the target is all your responsibilities. The staff here? Super friendly, ridiculously knowledgeable, and so helpful that I'm convinced they could teach a goldfish proper trigger discipline. I walked in feeling like John Wick's awkward cousin and left feeling at least slightly dangerous in a totally responsible way. If you need stress relief, great service, or just want to feel cooler than you actually are, this is the place. Highly recommend!

I took the all woman's class and everybody felt comfortable and at ease. They are extremely safety conscious, and you will learn a lot about yourself as well as the laws in Texas. I have recommended this class to friends and family.

    You can't beat John and Julianna Crowder's approach to gun education. From novice to advanced they…read moretake the time, effort and perspective to make sure everyone gets what they need in order to be successful. I have take both their new shooter and CHL classes. I won't even think about going anywhere else for further work on my shooting skills. Even if you are not a new shooter, I HIGHLY recommend taking their course. Their approach to learning is not just how to operate your gun, proper two-hand grip, obtain sight, and pull the trigger. They give you the experience of what it feels like to shoot single handed, how it feels when a gun jams, how to safely clear a gun jam when possible, how it feels to shoot a target close up (like an assailant who is in your personal space), and many other perspectives you may not think of. Again, you can't go wrong with CAPS. You will not find another team like John and Julianna. As for being a woman shooter, you will not find anyone who will teach you how to handle your weapon like Julianna.
