For two decades, Chris Bird has been an instructor, licensed by the State of Texas, and has taught the Concealed Handgun License (CHL) course to many Texans. With the advent of open carry, the program is now called the License To Carry (LTC) course.
Bird is a qualified NRA instructor and he has also been an adjunct instructor at Tac Pro Shooting Center.
For it is a truth, which the experience of ages has attested, that the people are always most in danger when the means of injuring their rights are in the possession of those of whom they entertain the least suspicion.
— Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 25, December 21, 1787
