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.

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 Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

I really enjoined the class and it was very educational and not the least bit boring.
Lee H. - November 25, 2008 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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.
Kathy H. - October 4, 2008 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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.
Jeff B. - October 4, 2008 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

The class was well presented. I would recommend anyone to attend the class.
Rick N. - September 27, 2008 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

Thanks Josh, I really enjoyed the class and look forward to receiving my CHL.
Mark S. - September 27, 2008 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

Great class. Plan to have others in my family attend.
Don R. - September 20, 2008 - Ft. Hood/ Killeen

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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.
Gyac L - August 11, 2007 - Ft. Hood/ Killeen

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 - Ft. Hood/ Killeen

Gyac L - August 11, 2007 - Ft. Hood/ Killeen

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Ft. Hood/ Killeen

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

Thanks for a great class, I will definitely recommend it to friends and co-workers.
John C. - April 14, 2007 - Ft. Hood/ Killeen

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 - Ft. Hood/ Killeen

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 - Ft. Hood/ Killeen

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 - Ft. Hood/ Killeen

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

Course is well organized, professionally taught, and complete. I highly recommend LoneStar for 1st timers or renewals.
Kelly G. - November 4, 2006 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

Great class, change nothing.
Rita C. - October 14, 2006 - Ft. Hood/ Killeen

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Ft. Hood/ Killeen

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 - Ft. Hood/ Killeen

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Ft. Hood/ Killeen

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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 - Bass Pro Shop, San Antonio

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...
Christian B. - May 28, 2005 - Ft. Hood/ Killeen

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 - Ft. Hood/ Killeen
