Before we start the actual classes, we need all person(s) interested to print an application from the website or stop by the Sheriff's Office to pick one up. When you complete the application it will need to be taken to the Titus County Sheriff's Office and given to the dispatcher. Remember, you will need to have your own hand gun with a minimum of 150 rounds of ammunition, but no more than 200 rounds. When the actual date for the class is set to begin, the time period of the class will have a start time of 8:30 a.m. and will end the same day around 3:00 p.m. depending on how long your ammunition lasts and how much fun you are having. There will be ten ladies per class and you will be shooting in groups of five. You will be instructed by certified firearms instructors and at the end of the day you will be required to break down and clean your firearm. If you need, we will teach you how to clean your firearm. All you need to bring is yourself, your weapon and ammunition. We will supply everything else including a gun cleaning kit, but you can bring your own if you wish. We will stop receiving applications for this course on March 18, 2015 so if you are interested, please get your application filled out, turned in, ready to learn and have a good time doing it.
