prayers for Carl Chandler's family and friends

#1

Post by 64zebra »

I was notified today that my self-defense and CHL instructor Carl Chandler passed away this morning in his sleep. None of you may know him, but he lived on his ranch outside Waco, TX and ran a gunshop and gun range. He was in law enforcement for over 35 years, including Austin and Houston PD, SWAT, sniper, drug interdiction teams and Walker County Sheriff's dept.
He taught unarmed self-defense, beginning to advanced firearms, and CHL classes to citizens as well as teaching LEO, military snipers and executive protection teams, federal agents, and taught LEO college classes in Waco. You'd be hard pressed to find another person as knowledgable in Texas law, or as big a supporter of the 2A and rights to self defense as Carl Chandler.
Please keep his wife Alice in your prayers.
He will be missed dearly.

The NRA & TSRA are a bargain; they're much cheaper than the cold, dead hands experience.
