Ronnie and I both really enjoyed your class. We have recommended you to several family members and friend. We can tell you are passionate about what you do. Thanks for having such patience with me out at Bracken. We will continue to spread the word about you and your company.
Irene D. - January 30, 2010 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
I really did enjoy your class. I learned quite a bit on both the law regarding CHL and handling my pistol and I did not find it boring at all.
I told my wife about your class and she is interested in attending one of your classes.
So you will be seeing her in the near future in one of your classes. I will be sending my paperwork shortly and I will keep you posted on the turnaround time and what if any problems I may encounter.
Desi M. - January 23, 2010 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
I had a blast! Me and a couple of buddies of mine from Ft. Sam where tossing around the idea of starting a gun club and after talking to you abouthe whole LLC trick for class III I would like to run an idea passed you and see what u think. I will also send you the Facebook group invite also. Thanks again for an awesome class.
Jimmy R. - January 9, 2010 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Took the class on Dec. 29, mailed packet on Jan 3, received license on Jan 28. How's that for fast!?!
Thanks, the class was extremely impressive with your streamlined process and profession presentation.
Thanks for everything!
Susan P. - December 29, 2009 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Just wanted to let you know that it only took me 26 days to get my license.
Brandon D. - December 29, 2009 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
I got my license, after 4 weeks they sent back my papers, because i ha not put unemployed showing all of my work for the years required. Then I sent it back corrected and a week later i got a letter with my pin and it had been approved, 4 days later it came. Thank you for your help I learned alot in the class. I was looking to take some self defense classes and wondered if you offered some or could point me in the right direction, I would like to take it with my wife?
Jonathan M. - December 19, 2009 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
I took your class in December around the 14th. I sent off my packet two days later. I have received my CHL today. your class was great and i have been tellimg my friends that want there CHL that they should go to your class.Have a great day,
Dustin S. - December 14, 2009 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
It was a great class. I've got a friend I'm going to bring by to take a couple of classes here real soon.
I received my tracking info as of 28 Dec 2009...pretty quick.
Scott S. - December 14, 2009 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Thanks for a great class. I will pass the information on to friends interested in your classes.
Mary M. - May 9, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
Thanks for a great class, Josh.
I sent this out to another co-worker here at Rackspace, who then forwarded it on to yet another!
Hey Jordan -
Like I said, I took the CHL class this past Saturday with Josh Felker of Lone Star Handgun (http://www.lonestarhandgun.com/) and had a great experience.
He and his partner are 100% professional, and take their jobs very seriously - it's not just a part time "earning a little walking around money" venture for them.
I took the class offered at the Bass Pro Shop and found the whole thing to be very comfortable, easy and enjoyable - the time went very quickly. At the end of the day I had a complete package ready to send to DPS - Fingerprinting, state packet, range qualification, training certificate, passport pictures and notary of docs are all included.
Just make copies and write a check.
His contact information is here:

Hi Josh,
No, it wasn't boring at all I actually enjoyed it, I have learned a lot and yes I'll check all the paper works before I sudmit it. I've refer you to my brother in law & my wife so far.. Thanks.
Tri N. - May 9, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
Josh, really enjoyed both the handgun class on Friday, as well as the CHL. The handgun class really increased my confidence in handling a semi-automatic. I will encourage anyone to take that class, and will definitely recommend your company. I'm glad I received your e-mail, as I was about to mail my packet to the State, and had NOT signed the TR-100!
John L. - May 9, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
Josh,
The class was very good, it was not boring by any means at all.
Tom M. - May 9, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
Josh, not only was the class not boring, I enjoyed the day. You passed on a great deal of information in a structure that worked well. Having completed the class I feel that I am much more prepared. Thank you.
Bruce P. - April 25, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
I took your class at the VFW on Saturday in Killeen and it was a very good class.
Donald W. - April 18, 2009 - San Antonio at Bass Pro Shop
My wife and I enjoyed your class very much and I have recommended you to many of my co-workers who have expressed interest in obtaining their own permit.
Jon B. - April 14, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
I thoroughly enjoyed your class. It was fast paced and kept my interest. I especially appreciated your enthusiasm for our freedom and talking about the tea party. I wanted to clap and give you a standing ovation!!!!
I have passed your name to others who are interested in taking the class. I wish you success.
Kathy S. - April 14, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
Thanks for all the information, and NO that was a very good class very informative and interesting.
Thanks and keep up the great job that you are doing.
Salvador M. - April 14, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
Josh,
I found your course to be very well done. You've obviously done it enough to be thoroughly familiar with the materials and you have enough insight and depth of knowledge in the subject matter that you make the side stories very interesting as well.
On a final note, your offer of a free firearm if someone successfully uses your Real Estate services is a brilliant form of advertising. I also liked it when you identified yourself as a Christian consertive. That makes us brothers.
Enjoyed meeting you and hope to see you again.
Tom T. - April 14, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
I also want to thank you for your time and effort. It was a pleasure to see your enthusiasm while teaching.
Thanks for letting me use your gun when mine malfunctioned. Never thought it would have broken down, but guess it is due for a new part.
John K. - April 14, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
Thank you for your follow-up note. I thought you and Russell did an excellent job of moving things along. I enjoyed the experience and will surely refer friends to you that are interested in a CWCP.
Alan W. - April 14, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
I will let you know about how long it will take ,,, for the time restraint you had to work with,,, you did an outstanding job...
thanks again:
Dub M. - April 14, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
Josh, I enjoyed the class very much, it was not boring and it was informing. Thanks for everything.
Gwen M. - April 14, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
This was my third renewal and without question the best…several reasons, comfortable surrouindings, good advice and most of all, fingerprints/notary/pictures, so when we were done…WE WERE DONE. I have sent my renewal to the state and received back my signature card, so I know it got there. I definitely will recommend your classes to everyone I know. Thanks, again,
Bob T. - April 4, 2009 - Killeen at VFW 9192
My wife and I heard about your class from a friend. He said it was both informative and entertaining (enough to keep him awake during the entire class). We signed up and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Neither of us had had much experience with handguns, so we had expected the shooting experience to be fun, but we were delighted to find that the classroom session was just as entertaining!
We came away from the experience with a lot of good solid information about Texas handgun law and safety, and from the good experience on the firing range, we have a little more self confidence in handling a pistol. The day was a good foundation for continuing learning about the law and safe gun handling.
I would highly recommend your concealed handgun class to anyone who is interested. Good information and a great day!
Joe & Lolita B. - April 4, 2009 - Killeen at VFW 9192
Excellent class, and I will recommend you to our military friends.
Aaron E. - April 4, 2009 - Killeen at VFW 9192
Hi Josh, I just wanted to let you know that you and Russell did a great job with the Concealed Handgun course I recently took over the weekend. I'm glad that I chose your Company over the other ones that are out there. I will be glad and happy to refer customers to you guys. I had a brief question to ask you. Can a person with a CHL carry a gun to the various state parks that are here in Texas?My family and I love to go camping and I was not sure of this answer. Thanks again for a great job done by both of you guys.
Ricardo C. - March 28, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
Thanks! I’ll let you know how long it takes. The class was great. It was only the second one that I have taken, but I thought this one was better than the first.
Justin H. - March 28, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
Thanks for the great class. I went to my friend who also took a CHL class elsewhere and we found out that I had learned a lot more useful things other than the Penal Codes. I will let you know when I get my card in the mail.
Ben B. - March 28, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
I did enjoy the class and look forward to seeing you again on the next renewal. The fact that all of the paperwork is provided is a big plus. I am way to lazy to run all over town picking up stuff.
Robert A. - March 28, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
Thanks, Josh. I did enjoy the class and I will highly recommend your class to anyone interested in obtaining a CHL.
Joe D. - March 28, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
You did an awesome job...I will tell everyone....thanks for the info....I am all set and mailing out today
Lawrence P. - March 28, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
My husband and I took your class last Saturday(3-14-09). We thought it was informative and we enjoyed ourselves. We will recommend you to everyone we know that is looking for a CHL class. I mailed our packets out yesterday (3-17-09). I will let you know when we receive our permits. I would also like some information on the other classes you teach. I am interested in Women’s & Home Defense and Basic Handguns.
Sharon & Charlie H. - March 14, 2009 - Killeen at VFW 9192
I really enjoyed your class. Thanks for an informative, professional, 'right-sized' presentation
Ryan V. - March 14, 2009 - Killeen at VFW 9192
Thanks, I really enjoyed the class. I will recommend you to my friends and co-workers/soldiers. My wife will be taking one of your classes in the near future.
Eddie A. - March 14, 2009 - Killeen at VFW 9192
Your class was excellent and fun, I should have taken it a long time ago.
Tom C. - March 14, 2009 - Killeen at VFW 9192
Josh, thanks for the info. The class was excellent. I am still trying absorb some of the details. I have already recommended your class to some of my buddies.
Charlie D. - March 14, 2009 - Killeen at VFW 9192
It was a great day and you did an excellent job with such a large class. Not only was it very informative, but also, very entertaining. I will highly recommend your class to my friends and family for obtaining their CHL. Thanks again for trading out the use of your gun for my ammo. I really liked the Glock. That's all my husband needed to know (or an excuse) to get another handgun! Will let you know about turnaround time..
Judy W. - March 10, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
Thanks Josh, I DID very much enjoy the training – well done and entertaining, too. I’ll certainly steer prospects your way when and if.
Tom G. - February 21, 2009 - Killeen at VFW 9192
My wife Leisa and I really enjoyed your class. You run a 1st class operation.
Lee P. - February 21, 2009 - Killeen at VFW 9192
Josh,
I found your class to be everything but boring. The most valuable phase of the class was; “Would I die for this?” I will gladly refer people to your class.
Rosie D. - February 14, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
Josh,
Yes the class was good and I have a few others that are looking at signing up for you class. I was looking at buying another handgun and I wanted to ask if the one you were carrying was the Glock 27. This is the one I am looking at for its size. What are your recomendations of where to purchase a new handgun. By the way I am sending off my paperwork tomorrow 2-17-09.
Casey M. - February 14, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
Josh,
The class was one of the best that I have been through thank you for providing a great class. I will keep you informed about how long it takes. Thanks again..
Mike C. - February 14, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
I thought the class was great but didn't really need to hear the story from that lady who was asleep but her husband was downstairs with her packin drunk friend but got some good laughs with the people around me listening to peoples questions; and yes, I am a true believer that there is a such thing as stupid questions. I just received my package from the state for my renewal and just have to send back the items from your class and sign the form they sent me.
Bob P. - January 31, 2009 - Killeen at VFW 9192
I enjoyed the class very and it was very helpful, informative and educational. once i submit the packet i will let you know the turn around. also I went with my daughter to Bass and we shoot some rounds there last weekend. I like the setup and will go back soon.
Carl S. - January 31, 2009 - Killeen at VFW 9192
Thanks Josh...the class was very informative and the presentation proved to
be better than most classroom settings.
Ervin L. - January 31, 2009 - Killeen at VFW 9192
Josh - - Thanks for the follow-up and as for me I thought you guys did a great job and were well organized. Since I have done this before, I'm pretty familiar with the paper work process and the boredom, but you made that bearable. I forgot his name, but the guy who did the finger prints should get a bonus, he was that good and informative!! He also had the toughest and messiest job.
I will certainly recommend your company for my friends and have sent a complimentary letter for your company with my application. In todays society we seem more anxious to criticize rather than complement. I've tried to improve on that.
I will let you know when I get my CHL.
Don P. - January 31, 2009 - Killeen at VFW 9192
Josh,
I think you guys did a great job keeping things moving and interesting considering the required length of the course. Thanks for your help, I told both my roomates about the class and they are considering taking it.
Tom K. - January 31, 2009 - Killeen at VFW 9192
Thanks for the class. It was more than we expected. I will let you know on how long it takes to get it back. Also, thanks for the reminder on the DD214. Every little bit helps for retirement.
The videos clips on LA and the Luby's shooting motivated me to go over to the SAXET gun show and sign up with the NRA. They will need all the support for the next four years, for sure.
Have a friend at church I gave your card to for the class. His son has just picked up a new purchase over the weekend and they may be coming your way soon.
Jon R. - January 3, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
Mr. Felker,
My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed your class! We'll definitely refer our friends and family to Lone Star Handgun. We sent our paperwork to the Department of Public Safety after Saturday's class-- I will let you know how long it takes to recieve our CHL.
Robert R. - January 3, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
The class was very interesting and informative. I all ready have my package ready to go and just waiting for the post office to open.
Jeffery T. - January 3, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
I really enjoyed your class. I sent out my packet today. I will e-mail you once I recieve my license. Thanks and take care. Just a side note, I'm a veteran and intially I applied for a standard app. and paid the $140 online. I called the state and was told to send a letter stating the mistake and copies of the DD214 and they would eventually refund my money. Just in case you have any students in the future to make the same mistake. Take care and I hope you have a successful year in both of your businesses.
Albert T. - January 3, 2009 - Bass Pro San Antonio
Thank you for a great Class Josh. It’s tough to keep something that long interesting, but you do a great job. I don’t know how you handle the asinine questions so smoothly, but you do. I’ll let you know how long it takes for the license to arrive.
Jeff C. - December 20, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
I thought your course was great. I learned more from you than any other CHL program.
Tom S. - December 20, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Thanks Josh, we really enjoyed and got a lot of out the class. You’re a great teacher and enjoyed the passion you have about CHL.
Lane L. - December 20, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Josh,
Thank you for your Christmas card. We enjoyed your class and it was an eye opener for my wife. I come across as a radical when talking about gun ownership and Second Amendment (Life Member NRA, Second Amendment Foundation). Funny, hearing it from a third party caught my wife's attention.
I do have to say that the more I learn about the law(s), even in Texas, the more agitated I become. I do not plan to head a rebellion, but I just see our rights nibbled away more and more.
Your class was not boring! There was a lot of really needed information transfered to the audience. I did not have time to talk directly with you for too much and what time I did have my emotions were hitting me a bit. I think I may be anti-authoritarian, but I did survive 20 years in the Army with multiple honorable discharges.
A thought for your future classes: I was distracted by the general noise level of other class members when we took the exam and were getting the answers. I know I am a bit nervous, but that is an area where the class should be reminded that not everyone learns, reads, or writes at the same pace. I suppose chronic PTSD lends to me being sensitive. Then too, it could be that I am just old and cranky!
You have an exceptional presentation style and I commend you for your level of energy. You are really doing the public a service by being an instructor/teacher/leader.
Henry B. - December 20, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Josh,
Yes, I enjoyed the class. Saturday night when I got home I found out that my house had been broken into, theives took some electronics and scattered my trash all over the kitchen. So now I have reason number 4 for needing a gun, reason number 5 occurred today when a former inmate walked up to me at Walmart in Pleasanton where I live, he was cordial, but you never know.
Hope you have a safe and wonder holiday, thanks again.
Marc B. - December 20, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Hi Josh! We both took your CHL class in December, and have been watching your website to see how soon the advanced courses will become available. In particular, I'd like to take the Women's Defensive Handgun class, and then Tom and I would both like to take the Advanced Handgun and Urban ("long-arms") training.
We definitely understand that you and Russell are likely to be booked with CHL classes, and with good cause. Thanks for what you do in this regard!
Please let us know when you are setting schedules for the above mentioned advanced classes, and of course we will continue to watch your website for updates. We thoroughly enjoyed the CHL training, and found the information you shared to be comprehensive and of excellent integrity - and applicable for any of our fellow citizens. Although we are very discreet in discussing our personal concealed carry interest and status, we do tell others about your website
Fran & Tom P. - December 11, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Josh,
I attended the class yesterday. It was a great class, a good presentation of information. I understand that the 2 lanes were down and understand that the class was rushed because of that. That aside, the information was good, and I walked away with a more clear understanding of deadly force, conflict resolution. I do feel that I learned what I needed.
Travis R. - December 11, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Josh - Thanks for teaching a great class. Very professional in everyway. I was impressed how you transition the class from the gunrange, idiot proof of filling out the paperwork and teaching the class. I just got my license about a month ago...took about a 3.5 months.
Mike A. - December 11, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
I definitely enjoyed your class. I know a couple of neighbors in my Bible study group and two of my kids plan to take your class after the holidays. Your newsletter is great and my husband learned a lot he hadn’t known or had forgotten since he took his renewal.
Nora M. - December 6, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Thanks Josh, All went well for me, I got some shopping out of the way during the "down time". Bass Pro is a good location.
I shot in the first group so was not affected by the lack of lanes. I am moving so will submit my packet next week after I close on my house. I will let you know how long it takes....
Tom M. - December 6, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Thanks a lot. I enjoyed the class very much and will be glad to direct anyone I know interested to you. You will probably see me again for a follow up visit or for an advanced class.
Vic L. - December 6, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Your class was thoroughly educational and most enjoyable. I realize that the number of students and lane closures were not within your control. I am on my way back to corpus Christi, yes I travelled all the way just to take your class, and once settled in I shall look over my packet and try to post it tomorrow. Then, I will let you know when I receive my CHL. Thank you for making what I thought was going to be a nerve racking experience one of the best and comfortable training classes I have attended. If I have any questions on the forms or what firearm to purchase I hope I can ask you. Thanks again and keep up the great work.
Gloria - December 6, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
I took your CHL class the Tuesday of Thanksgiving and I just wanted to let you know I received my license on Friday. Thank you for teaching me so much and making the class a fun and educational experience. I hope to take one of your advanced classes soon. The checkbook is a little tight right now. Hope all is well. Thanks again!
John S. - November 25, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Josh,
I thought the class went very well; I thoroughly enjoyed myself and found it far more exciting than driver's ed. The shooting was fun and from one teacher to another, you presentation kept my attention with a mix of good info, instruction, humor and videos. I've already mentioned to several others to go to you for instruction.
Eric W. - November 25, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Thanks Josh. Today, I went to the PO and had them weigh the envelope and mailed it. The counter person recognized the address and asked me if it was for a CHL because he had some patrons that were asking of where to take the course. I gave him three of your cards and hope they contact you soon. I told him that it would be wise to do take the class this year before it runs out. Have a Great Thanksgiving with your family...
Pete G. - November 25, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
The class was great!
My buddy(Guy A.) and I found it very informative and entertaining.
In fact before I even saw this email I had just posted a positive report to a CHL question here http://2coolfishing.com/ttmbforum/showthread.php?t=187657&page=2
Take care.
Steve C. - November 25, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Josh, just wanted to thank you for the class yesterday. Although a long day, it was definitely informative and actually glad that I know the laws now. Hopefully it won't take too long for the license, but thank you again.
Chris I. - November 25, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
I had a great time in your class, so much so that I have recommended it to 4 more people, who are signing up for the class on the 13.
David K. - November 25, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Sorry I am just now responding...It was awesome. We appreciate the class so much. I had a couple of questions but I can ask you the next time we are together. Thanks again for the class...
Don L. - November 25, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Hey Josh, the class was good and time did fly by. I didn’t mind the large class ,it took me by surprise. I didn’t think a lot would be there on a weekday, but I did think the room was a little small for that big of a group, I did my app on line and I’m still waiting for the packet to come. It’s been about two weeks now and I’m starting to wonder if they lost it or found something wrong, but they wasted no time taking my money. We plan on having my wife take your class sometime in the summer, she’s not sure if she wants to carry but she wants the license so she can if she wants to. If or when I get my license next time I will come to you at the senior rate, I’ll be 60......Thanks for the class and thanks for doing it on a week day.......
William A. - November 25, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Josh,
My wife and I really enjoyed the class on Tuesday. It was a long day but we thought you had a well organized and thorough class. I’ll keep you posted when we do receive the CHLs.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Allen E. - November 25, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
I really enjoined the class and it was very educational and not the least bit boring.
Lee H. - November 25, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
I truly enjoyed the class and will recommend it to others.. Lotza good information and caused me to STOP a think about the CHL and its uses.. I will send in the application and let you know when I receive the CHL.. Thanks again and You Guys have a great Thanksgiving/family time..
Larry D. - November 22, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
The class was a little crowded, but was still very good with a ton of good information. As more and more people realize what the next president has in mind to revert back to (i.e. Clinton gun laws), you may have to give up the realtor business to keep up with demand!
Keep up the great work!
Todd - November 22, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Thanks for doing what you do….and for serving our country. Brad and I thought the class was fantastic. Kudos to you!
Kari C. - November 22, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
It was a good class. I know it's tough, dry material but you made it entertaining. I like how you expressed yours views and were committed to them. I will pass the word along to other potential students.
Enrique - November 1, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
I enjoyed the interjection of funny video's but I have to admit I was nervous when I went to the range not sure why other than I knew you were a pro and you were watching me and I guess I did alright because I passed. I really liked learning about the laws regarding handguns I found the whole class very interesting though my back was telling me otherwise. I intend on sending in my paperwork tomorrow and will keep you posted on when I receive my CHL. Thanks again.
Virginia O. - November 1, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
The class was great. I already recommended you to some friends
Lance W. - November 1, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
I took your class on October 25th, mailed my application in on October 27th, received notification that my license was being processed on November 25th, & received my CHL through the mail on December 12th. That was a lot faster than I thought it was going to be.
Total time about a month & one-half.
I enjoyed your class & would recommend it to anyone!! Thanks!
Jay O. - October 25, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Josh,
First of all Happy New Year!! Just as you can imagine, I have been very busy during this holiday season. I just wanted to let you know that I have recieved my CHL on 20 Dec before Christmas. It's surprising on how confident and comfortable you feel when you have something to back you up and it's close to your side. Good luck in the business this year. Your class was great. Thanks.
Jose S. - October 25, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Hi Josh,
Thanks again for your great and simplified but very effective CHL class teaching methods. You really give us the right perspective when it comes to carrying and the responsibilities tha goes with it.
Gerard R. - October 4, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Hey Josh just wanted to say again how great your class was even though I can't shoot very well I will be practicing. That was actually the second time I have ever held a pistol in my life. We learned so much and it was so much FUN !
Misti C. - October 4, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Just wanted to let you know I received the Texas CHL today and to thank you for taking me through the entire process so effectively. Before taking your course, I didn’t think it was possible.
Rex C. - October 4, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Hello Josh. Thank you for your follow up and for Saturday's class. It was so nice to have a one stop shop and get everything done in one day. We mailed our packets yesterday and I'll keep you posted about the time it takes to process.
Tolley & Cheryl M. - October 4, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Josh,
Thank you! I did enjoy the class and I appreciate your assistance with my first time shooting an automatic. Ron and I completed our paperwork and I mailed it return receipt just to make sure. Ron has already updated his weapon and how he carries it. We plan to practice soon so that I can become more comfortable with our guns, etc.
If I can tell anyone about the class, be assured I will.

I just returned to Washington and am working on completing the CHL packet. I found the class quite informative and not at all boring. I will definitely recommend your class to any of my friends there.
One comment I'd like to make about the NRA clip shown on the New Orleans gun confiscation after Hurricane Katrina: I was SHOCKED to see how many people had never heard of what happened there. I'm a bit biased. I'm a life NRA member and watch the NRA News shows often, so I've seen it. But I recall my disbelief when I saw the TV news broadcasts at the time showing those civil rights violations. It's unfortunate and frustrating that the one organization that is out there trying to protect our rights is constantly tarred by the liberals as some fringe organization to be dismissed.

Josh I just wanted to let you know your class has been my favorite since receiving my first CHL. It was professional, accomodations and visuals were excellent and liked having the range located in the same facility as the class. My other classes did not have ranges readily availble so we had to travel to the range for qualification once the class room material was covered. Having the class at Bass Pro shop also gives you an interesting place to occupy your time during breaks. There are also many places around the store to grab a quick bite to eat without having to go far from class. I will definitely recommend your class to anyone wanting their CHL.
Joseph G. - September 27, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
The class was well presented. I would recommend anyone to attend the class.
Rick N. - September 27, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Thanks Josh, I really enjoyed the class and look forward to receiving my CHL.
Mark S. - September 27, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Josh, I really did enjoy the class. It definitely was not like drivers ed. I have been suffering with all the allergy stuff in the air and have not been sleeping well, so I was more tired than usual during the class, sorry, no reflection on your teaching! I will definitely tell my friends about the class, and my husband said he will take from you on his next renewal. He went back to Sammy Millers class and he did not enjoy it. He wont renew for 5yrs now, but we will be back. I enjoyed the stories of your kids and your wife, sounds like you have a lovely family! I know you mentioned an advanced class and was curious about that, so more info would be nice.
ReJeania C. - September 27, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Great class. Plan to have others in my family attend.
Don R. - September 20, 2008 - San Antonio at Bass Pro Shop
Josh,
The class was educational and no where near as boring as Driver’s Ed…first of all, I got to shoot a gun in class!!! Awesome! I appreciated the videos and some of the practical application/examples. I mailed my stuff in this past Saturday certified return receipt (hope that’s not too overboard). I just want to see how long from beginning to end until I receive my lic. It’d be nice if I could receive the license prior to the turn of the year.
Robin W. - September 6, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Hello Josh,
Thank you for the great information last Saturday. I am excited, now that I have more exposure and know more about the safety aspect…I feel more at ease.
Kelly A. - September 6, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Hey Josh, class was good but long – I know it’s not your fault. But the information you delivered was beneficial and my parents and I are on the lookout for the 51% signs and the other one.
I sent my packet off today so the clock starts for me today. I have sent it registered so I will let you know when they sign for it. Mom and Dad are a month ahead of me, so it will be quite hilarious if I get mine first.
Erika B. - August 30, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
I was very happy with the way the class went and I have to say, you impressed both myself and my boyfriend, he sat in on the class. That may not seem like much to you, but he is a retired Marine and he doesn't like anybody! We will definitely refer our friends/family to you and given your approval status. Thanks for everything.
Katie B. - August 30, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Hey Josh! I truly enjoyed the class. The information provided was done in an excellent and professional manner. I just received my license yesterday! It was just 2 days shy of 2 months! Once again, thanks for a very entertaining and instructive course. I’ll be talking to you soon to help me find some acreage.
James P. - August 2, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Josh: Thoroughly enjoyed your course and have recommended many friends to you. Got my license last week. Thanks again. Gary
Gary J. - June 28, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Just wanted to let you know that I received my CHL. I was in the June 21st class and mailed off packet about a week later. It only took about 60 days, which is a lot faster than what I had been reading on the forum site. I am so relieved that I will have the CHL for a road trip to Missouri in October. Thanks again for the class, it was great!
Nancy M. - June 21, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Josh,
My application was sent off today. A great class, good information and fellowship.
I realize that I must take lessons in gun handling, which I will do on the range.
Alex B. - May 31, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
HEY JOSH I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL CLASS, IT WAS VERY HELPFUL, I ALSO WANNA SAY I APPRICIATE YA CONTINUED SUPPORT EVEN AFTER THE CLASS, MY LICENSE LOOKS GREAT!!! (smiles)
Salim S. - May 31, 2008 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Josh,
Sorry I wasn't here when you called to follow up on last Saturday's class. I want you to know that I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and learned a great deal. My next objective is convincing my wife to attend!! I finally completed the packet and mailed it yesterday. I'll let you know when the license arrives.
Bob B. - November 24, 2007 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Being as new resident of Texas, your class as informative with great information to my belief in support of 2nd Amendment. Even thought it was a tough crowd from the beginning, but your neat presentation kept me awake the whole way through. I definitely recommend this class to all friends of mine. Thank you Josh and good luck.

This is by far the best class I have ever been to. I am used to boring old army classes that i dont want to go to in the first place but this CHL class that I wanted to go to was extremely entertaining, informative, and best of all small so everyone was able to get a grasp on something they may not have understood. I definitely reccommend this CHL instructor to anyone.
Brandon P. - August 11, 2007 - San Antonio at Bass Pro Shop
I took your CHL class 26 May 2007 at the Bass Pro and it was presented very well and was entertaining for an 8+ hour class. The class was well woth the $90 especially for including the fingerprinting and photos! I mailed my package the next business day 29 May 2007. I received my CHL 11 July 2007 (6 weeks). I will be taking the renewal with LoneStar in about 5 years!
Jeff T. - May 26, 2007 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that I had a very good experience with the CHL class today. Everything was presented in an easy to
understand, no b.s. fashion. It also had the perfect mix of humor and laughter to keep things interesting. I was so satisfied, I have already begun the word-of-mouth process! The Ft. Hood gate guard that inspected my PMO registration asked where he could attend a CHL class, and I gave him
your card saying "These guys will take good care of you." Thanks for a good time.
Jonathan N. - May 12, 2007 - San Antonio at Bass Pro Shop
I was one of your concealment students at Bass Pro a couple of weekends ago. I want to say I enjoyed the class, but most importantly, I sensed a conviction you have regarding your right to carry. I identified with your passion which made the class an enjoyable afternoon.
Chad C. - April 28, 2007 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Josh, Great CHL class yesterday (4-28-07). It is what I expected and quite a bit more.You and Russell do a great job. I also enjoyed your basic handgun class. I recomend these classes for anyone looking into owning a firearm. Thanks again, Joe.
Joe Z. - April 28, 2007 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Josh: I completed the CHL course 4-28-07 at the Bass Pro location. The course was well presented and informative. I would highly recommed the course. Your presentation was great. Looking forward to getting my CHL-- Thanks
James R. - April 28, 2007 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
I just wanted to say thanks. The class yesterday made me feel a whole lot better about carrying a firearm, and also cleared up so many of the questions I had about the laws and use of deadly force. The slideshow aid was excellent, and the class was clear and informative. Rest assured that I will give positive testimony to anyone I come in contact with around here who is interested in obtaining a CHL. I definitely got the most for my money, especially considering the courses offered around here and the cost paid by other people I know.
Andre H. - April 14, 2007 - San Antonio at Bass Pro Shop
Thanks for a great class, I will definitely recommend it to friends and co-workers.
John C. - April 14, 2007 - San Antonio at Bass Pro Shop
Josh I just wanted to write to say, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I took your class today (4/14/07) in Killeen. The class was informative and fun. You are a great instructor. Thanks again Josh and keep up the good work. God bless!
Charles P. - April 14, 2007 - San Antonio at Bass Pro Shop
Josh, Thanks for your class last weekend. I enjoyed it and feel like I learned a lot. I am sending in my application now and have made copies of all the forms.I enjoyed your CHL class on 14 April a lot. I'm recommending it to several of my friends and also trying to convince wife to take the class.
David N. - April 14, 2007 - San Antonio at Bass Pro Shop
Josh, Thanks for your class last weekend. I enjoyed it and feel like I learned a lot. I am sending in my application now and have made copies of all the forms.
David B. - April 7, 2007 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Josh, It was a pleasure meeting you and Russell. Based on my experience in my past life as a Police Insstructor(20 yrs.) and as a Firearms Instructor(15 yrs.), you all did a good job. Well done.
"Deck" h. - March 17, 2007 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
I took the CHL class Feb. 3 07. The instructor Josh Felker taught the class in a very professional manner. The class was very informative and interesting. I learned a lot. Thanks Josh, you have another satisfied customer. I highly recommend your class.
Richard G. - February 3, 2007 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
What a great and professional class you conduct. First I thought that sitting for hours would be boring but it really was not bad. I have spread the word of your class to lots of friends and family.With my CHL, my family now feels safe with me considering all that is going on in this sick world, you never know but one thing is for shore I will be packing from now on.
Jonathan V. - February 3, 2007 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and Russell for going that extra mile yesterday to assist me in obtaining my license. After the accident, I lost 85% use of my left arm and I just had another major surgery on my neck 3 months ago, so I appreciate the extra time it took in loading the gun for me. My husband had intended to help me, but the way things worked out, he was unable to do so. We will recommend both your real estate business and your handgun training to everyone.
Debby H. - December 2, 2006 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Course is well organized, professionally taught, and complete. I highly recommend LoneStar for 1st timers or renewals.
Kelly G. - November 4, 2006 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Great class, change nothing.
Rita C. - October 14, 2006 - San Antonio at Bass Pro Shop
I found Josh and LoneStar Handgun on the internet after two previous CHL classes. I was not looking forward to the session after the prior poor experiences. I was both surprised and pleased. Josh's style and presentation in great surroundings were both comfortable, informative and well presented. I'm recommending Josh and LoneStar Handgun to all my friends and family. P.S. He's got a new handgun customer too, he just doesn't know it yet.
Ted C. - October 7, 2006 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Josh teaches a fantastic CHL course. He's personable, professional and even funny (when circumstances allow). I recommend this course to everyone. Range safety practices are impeccable. My wife will take it next.
Lucio T. - October 7, 2006 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
I met Josh at the Friday Range session an was very impressed. He's very personable, knowledgeable and professional. He's one cool dude. After qualifying he engaged the students who wanted to hang out in a friendly competition w/ steel plates and good advice. BZ Job well done. Look forward the the classroom.
Derek H. - August 5, 2006 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Thank you for a teaching The Conceal Handgun License class. It was presented very professionally and very thorough. I've already told my dad and my girlfriend's brother-in-law, about your class and now both are interested!
I highly recommend it!!! Two thumbs up!!!
David M. - April 1, 2006 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
My father and I took the class to get our Concealed Hand Gun licenses today along with my friend from work. I would like to say that this class (CHL) is really worth investing in. It is a life investment that I believe every one should consider. The investment being the life of the individual, as well as there families and loved ones. The instructors were very knowledgeable as well as friendly answering any questions that we the students had. We learned a great deal, and I definitely recommend LoneStar Handgun to any one interested in getting their CHL. We'll definitely be talking to you all soon to take the Advanced Weapons Training Course. Thank you and God Bless you for your hard spent dedication to the preservation of the cause of personal defense.
J.E. - March 18, 2006 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Hi Josh! I took the class at Ft Hood, great class! I went to a gun show in Belton the day after the class, there were a few CHL instructors that were giving pretty "gray area" information to folks. I pulled a lot of the people aside later and recommended your class to them. There were about 30 people (20 or so were military) I talked with. Can you please send me some of your cards to give out. Great job and I look forward to attending your advance weapons training class. Take care. Oh yeah, forgot one thing, their 30.06 was not contrasting colors. My son was with me and asked why I was laughing...I replied, "If you ever meet Josh ask him about a single colored 30.06 sign"
Jeremy K. - March 11, 2006 - San Antonio at Bass Pro Shop
I just took this great class and I will recommend it to all the Soldiers who like me are getting close to retiring out the Military. Josh knows what he is doing and does it well. Thanks for an excellent class and yes have no fear the wife will be in this class soon trust me I took your class at the Ft hood location on 11 March 2006 and thanks again.
Craig L. - March 11, 2006 - San Antonio at Bass Pro Shop
Outstanding class! My wife and I attended it together and we not only found it fulfilled our expectations, but it was also a very enjoyable date. The instructors are great, experienced and informative. I highly recommend this course.
John C. - January 7, 2006 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
LoneStar Handgun was the best priced CHL course that I could find, they saved me at least 40.00 but compared to most classes they saved me even more than that. If you’re traveling from Killeen it’s only about a 20 min. drive. The instructor was very knowledgeable of the questions we had for him, and was usually able to give us multiple sources to research any future inquiries we may have. He made sure that everyone understood the contents of the information being given so that we wouldn’t have any problems passing the course. LoneStar Handgun not only gives you the course but they take your fingerprints, pictures, and provide you with the packet you will need to apply for your CHL and will help you correctly fill out the forms within it, for no extra charge. They even helped me when I had trouble at the range, I brought one of my husband’s handguns and hadn’t fired that particular one in a while and had trouble getting it to properly fire. They were very helpful and I was on my way to completing the course in no time.
Lynn L. - November 12, 2005 - San Antonio at Bass Pro Shop
I was one of the first handgun permit holders in the State. I have been with several instructors, from my initial licensing to renewal instructors. Josh is the only instructor that I would recommend. Rather than comment on the others shortcomings, you will find the instruction outstanding, the paperwork in order, and the range test safe and well organized. Hint if you have not been shooting for a while or have never shot get a good well oiled semi-auto and drop a few boxes through your weapon. If you are new hire Josh for a lesson, you will save yourself and all involved a tremendous amount of time, frustration, and pressure.
Larry W. - October 3, 2005 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
A must attend class for all citizens especially homeowners - invaluable information is powerfully communicated on very delicate and controversial subject matter that of handgun usage and penal code law - Josh you did a wonderful job trying to embody the 2nd Amendment and positively present things we can do as those who try to obey the law. Thanks for a great class. Even though I couldn ' t agree with every point still the presentation was strong enough to give serious consideration and action
Stephen C. - June 4, 2005 - San Antonio at LoneStar Handgun
Hi Josh, I requested the CHL on 8JUL, and received it 15AUG. I also picked up a Kel-Tec P3AT .380, and some Speer gold dot ammo. Man, that is one wicked little gun with the Speer GD ammo in it. Thanks for giving a great class.
Josh C. - May 28, 2005 - San Antonio at Bass Pro Shop
Very professional!!! I have held permits in three different states and been to many different classes this far surpassed the standard class for concealed firearms. I recommend this class for the beginner as well as the experienced. Josh will give you a lot to think about and a lot of great advice. If you have the time and are serious about your and your families well being take this course you will be surprised on what you may learn and what you do not know. Thanks for your time Josh and LoneStar Staff...
