mr fixit,

In response to your question about where do instructors come from.... they are just like you and me and everyone here. They are serious gun owners and CHL holders who want to take their knowledge and experience a step further than most. They volunteer to take the instructor course that is offered by DPS once a year and when finished, become certified instructors licensed by DPS.

Many I know become instrustors in order to further the cause of concealed carry here in Texas. They do get paid for teaching courses, but their firm belief in second amendment rights far outweighs any monetary compensation they receive.
