Here are a few reasons to sign up for our class:

GET MORE COMFORTABLE WITH FIREARMS

We recommend taking a basic pistol class if you haven’t been around guns a lot so that they’re less intimidating by the time you decide to get a concealed carry permit. If you are more comfortable with them, the chances are that you’ll be in a better mindset to use a firearm if needed and will operate it at a safer level. This class is a great refresher class as well.
