Concealed Carry Handgun Class

We strive to make our classes enjoyable by interacting with the students, updating class material (including videos and visuals) and using current information obtained through the United States Concealed Carry Association.

Class will cover situational awareness, gun safety, operation of revolvers and semi‐auto handguns, where you can and cannot carry a handgun, and N.C. laws governing CCH.

NOTE: All handguns and ammo are to remain in vehicle until told otherwise.

Students will participate in the shooting qualification early afternoon, or as weather permits. Our shooting range is located “on site” and your class is completed in one day.

Targets will be a B 34 RC police silhouette and shooting will involve a minimum of 30 rounds total, with ten shots fired each at 3, 5, and 7 yards.

Students should arrive at 8:20 a.m. and class will end approximately 5:30 p.m.
