Click Below to Register for the Oct 7th Class ($75 )

This first class will cover all the fundamentals of gun safety and marksmanship for revolvers and semi-automatics!  Expect some fun, as we use Glock 17 laser pistols in the class to practice. No gun or FOID card is required.  (If you do not yet have a FOID card, do NOT apply for one yet!  You will want to apply for it at the same time as your Concealed Carry Class and not before. This will save you time!)



Oct 7th Class Deposit $25 (pay balance at class)

At this second class, we will do the shooting qualification (no gun is required – you can use one of ours), learn how to carry concealed, and cover all the applicable laws you will need to know.

*** If you are a veteran, the second class is all that is required by law, as you have an exemption for the first class, which covers basic firearms safety, gun handling and marksmanship.  However, it is recommended that all take the first class as a refresher.

You do NOT need a gun or a FOID card to take this class.  You can use one of our guns and the FOID card can be applied for along with your Concealed Carry License! (If you need to use a gun, there is a $5 fee for the ammunition)

There is a $10 RANGE FEE the SECOND CLASS, to be paid the day of that class.



Oct 21st Class Deposit $25 (pay balance at class)



8 and 16 hour Classes for Initial Licensing: 

If you have no prior training credits, you will need the full 16 hours – two eight-hour classes – which may be taken out of sequence.  

 If you have some credits, you will need at least the “second 8 hours” of training, and perhaps 4 hours in addition.  Not sure?  Click here: Training Credit and watch the video.

The first 8 hour course will also qualify you for non-resident permits from Florida and Arizona, if you choose to apply for them!
