Course Summary/Topics Covered:

Our Concealed Carry Handgun Class is indeed our signature class. We have integrated our Introductory Pistol Course along with all of the mandated laws governing the use of deadly force and concealed carry in the state of North Carolina. Our North Carolina Department of Justice approved course is geared for all levels of firearms experience. But instead of the usual hum-drum classroom atmosphere, our instructors with decades of experience create a highly energetic and interactive learning environment that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.

• We will teach you about the different types of handguns and handgun actions
• How to safely handle handguns
• How to know what ammunition to use for your intended purpose
• The basic fundamentals of pistol marksmanship (the right way to shoot the pistol)
• Proper stances and the tactical use of them
• Practical applications in the classroom before we ever go to the range
• Considerations in purchasing a handgun
• Maintenance of your handgun
• Concealed Carry technique and equipment
• Lunch is ALWAYS a great time!
• Federal, State and local laws regarding transportation and the purchase of a firearm
• How to apply for your Concealed Carry Handgun Permit
• What the law says about where you can and cannot carry concealed
• What the law says about your use of deadly force in a self-defense situation
• What to do after a self-defense shooting

Of course all of this knowledge is measured by an open-book written test and a range proficiency course of fire shooting 40 rounds of ammunition from the 3, 5, and 7 yard lines.

Course Length:

Some of this course is objective based. The minimum requirement is 8 hours of classroom instruction plus range time. Plan on all day. Our goal is to be finished by 5 pm, but that is a goal and not a promise. Because it is objective based, we may end up going slightly longer to meet the objectives.

Classroom and Range Information:

The classroom is the at the Rotary Club in Newport (see location in this listing). The range is a private use range which is about a 7 minute drive from the classroom. We will convoy to its location at that time.

Other benefits:

We buy you lunch. It is usually pizza. If you have any food sensitivities, please make arrangements to bring your own lunch.

There will be an NRA membership presentation during the lunch break. You will be offered exclusive discounted membership rates into one of the premiere pro-Second Amendment civil rights organizations who is making a huge difference at the federal, state and local levels. This presentation is optional.

Our goal is for you to walk away from our class equipped with the knowledge, skill and attitude necessary for you to safely and confidently go about your everyday routine with a loaded firearm safely concealed on or about your person. We don't want to try to turn you into Rambo. We just want to get you to the store and back safely in this world that we live in.
