Jonnie York Instructor #01419410 founded CHL-Plus in 2005
Teaches in North Arlington, Poolville and at your location as long as there is a safe  legal range.
Jonnie York is a Texas Department of Public Safety CHL Certified Instructor # 01419410, Who has instructed people in shooting skills in the Metroplex for over 50 years. Having fired on the UTA rifle team in 1968 and 69 and served as a team captain. He assisted in the instruction and qualification of the ROTC classes both years. From 1968 until 1980 he served in and trained the officers and men of the 105th MP Battalion of the Texas State Guard. Some of whom are now local law enforcement officers and firearms instructors. In the 1980s and 90s he has shot with, trained with, and coached, nationally and internationally known champion target shooters. He has been a life member in the NRA, NAHC, and TSRA for over 22 years and a firm supporter of the Second Amendment and your right to defend yourself. This is not just a minimal course to get you your CHL; this is a comprehensive course to help you prepare yourself to survive a life and death situation. Police officers who have taken this course have compared it to police training courses, "a level above the average CHL course." See the referrals in our guest book and please feel free to leave your comments on your experiences with us.
To Begin Your Training Start With CHL-Plus
"Training is a Process, not an Event"

The Statutes require that the course should be no less than 10 hours. I use a Power Point presentation with slides and video clips from TV and movies that will keep the attention of the experienced shooter and not be beyond the understanding of the novice. The class is an open discussion format so that we all can learn from each others observations and experiences as long as we stay on the subject matter that must be covered and I can keep us on schedule. We will start off with firearms training and marksmanship to be sure that everyone is familiar with handling there particular weapon when we go to the range we will go over them before hand. Under the new DPS Qualification Course "any malfunctions that are encountered, the shooter will work through the problem and finish the course of fire in the allotted time." At 10:15 we will then go to the range for certification at an indoor airconditioned and climate controlled environment (an $8/15 extra range fee). We will then return to the classroom and complete the course. It is your responsible that you have received the required training and you must submit an affidavit to that effect.   As of March 1, 2011 Applicants must apply on line or download the application and forms and all fingerprinting must be digitally scanned by L1 at www.l1id.com or call(888)467-2080 for  an appointment. Hyperlinks are at the bottom of this webpage for your use.

The first class is classroom covering:
Handgun use and Marksmanship: 1.5 Hr
First aid and self help range safety: .75 Hr.
Range Proficiency: 1 Hr.
Ballistics and weapons maintance: .75 Hr

Lunch

The Final class is 6+ hours of classroom covers:
The CHL Statutes and firearms laws: 3 Hr
The Laws and Your Concealed Handgun License
Weapon storage and safety in the home .5 Hr.
Non Violent Dispute Resolution: 1Hr
Use of Force and Legal issues: 1Hr
Psychological Trauma of having used force
Examination and certification: 1Hr

There is a tremendous amount of responsibility that goes along with carrying a weapon in public and far more training is necessary than can be given in only a 10 hour course. This is a start that is more than adequate to get your license and will guide you in continuing your training process formally or informally.
This is an important decision that you are making and should not be taken lightly. The majority of the course is teaching you how to keep from using your handgun and thereby saving yourself thousands of dollars in legal fees and still protecting your life and preserve the lives of other persons. Get the most you can from your CHL course, after all, you are paying for it! It is information you may need some day.

Questions and Answers
Can't find the answer to a CHL question email me and I will try to find the answer for you.
Q.  Can I get an out of state nonresident license and carry in Texas? F.D.
A.  Save your money this is a loop hole that could end up costing you a lot of more. Most states are closing the loop hole by requiring that you must hold your home state license before they will issue their nonresident license. The state ID card presented to the Pease officer demanding identification must be issued by the same state that issued the CHL. (Texas DL would not work with Utah nonresident CHL)
Q.  If I get my CHL and I have 1 beer on the way home I can be considered intoxicated without a CHL .008? J.H.
A.  It is not the CHL that makes you eligible to be considered intoxicated it is the accessibility of the firearm after having consumed alcohol.
If you are going to be drinking it is best to leave the gun at home or lock it up in a safe in the trunk.
email me
Q.  Can I qualify with my 5.7? R.B.
A.  No, the 5.7 is a more powerful handgun than required but the state goes by a minimum caliber of .32 inchs, 5.7mm is .22 caliber,32 is 8 mm.
