Texas church offereing concealed carry class

A Baptist church in Dumas, Texas plans to host concealed handgun training classes, the Associated Press reported Saturday, Feb. 9, 2013.
To legally carry a concealed weapon in Texas, and in most states, a class is required. The training involves 10 hours of how to handle a gun and some basic safety procedures. There is also a legal aspect as well as far as defending oneself with a gun, and there is minimal training on firing a weapon.
The church is in the Texas Panhandle area near Amarillo. The pastor says it is offering the class as a community service because there is high interest in the subject matter. A state-certified instructor plans to teach the class on March 2.
