Even though we CAN carry without a license, I suggest you go through the classes. They are quite informative on the law (primary purpose) and they do a life fire check to make SURE that you can hit the broad side of a barn.

of the 8 hour class, 4 hours are telling you what you should not do, 2 hours are selling you concealed carry insurance and 2 hours getting everyone to fire pistols/revolvers at the range. It is good to know the law AND to know what will happen IF you have to use your pistol.

I _THINK_ they eliminated the "revolver only" license. At one time, if you brought a revolver, they gave you a "special" limited license, revolver only.

Again, I would have a talk with the hospital security. Arrange a place for safe storage. I had to go to Port of Houston and make a delivery. I had my pistol with me. They had a "no firearms" policy. I said fine, where would you like to store my pistol? They had security store it. You can work it out.

When I took the class years ago, it was, I'm pretty sure 8 hours. I never had anyone hawking insurance to me. I heard some years later that it had been shortened to either 4 or 6 hours.

I was curious what the current deal is since the permitless carry went into effect.

Apparently now you can take it online. (you do still have to find someone local for the shooting portion).
