Full description and what we offer
Guardian Defense focuses on firearms education over inventory. They run three core courses: Texas License to Carry (LTC), NRA Basic Pistol, and NRA Basic Rifle. Each class is roughly 8 hours and covers the fundamentals—handling, maintenance, storage, and shooting accuracy.
The License to Carry course is Texas DPS-approved and approximately 6 hours. Beyond basic handgun safety, they teach the legal landscape around carrying a concealed handgun in Texas, self-defense decision-making, situational awareness, and conflict avoidance. Check-in is 8:45 AM, checkout 4:00 PM. Cost is $50.
"Great experience. Instructor took time to answer all questions and made class enjoyable!" — Guardian Defense Customer
You need a state-issued ID/DL, a pistol, 50 rounds of practice ammo, and eye and ear protection. If you don't have a gun or ammo, Guardian Defense can help. They provide loaner pistols upon request and sell ammunition on-site. Protective gear is also available if needed.
NRA Basic Pistol covers appropriate handling, maintenance, secure storage, and accurate shooting over 8 hours.
NRA Basic Rifle does the same for rifle operation and safety.
Both run 8:45 AM to 4:00 PM and welcome all skill levels.

Rifle and pistol courses cover handling, maintenance, and safe storage alongside accuracy.
