• Please be familiar with your handgun.  You should know how to load and unload it SAFELY!  If not, consider practicing prior to class.

• Sorry, but we do not allow single action only revolvers.  We do not consider this type of firearm to be adequate for defensive purposes in the hands of the average person.

               YOU  WILL  NEED THE FOLLOWING ITEMS : 

• Good Quality Handgun  and  50 Rounds of Ammunition, Eye Safety Glasses, Hearing Protection
• NOTE! Some types of ammunition is in short supply.  Please do not wait to the last minute to obtain your ammo.
• Holster (no cross draw or shoulder holsters allowed due to safety concerns.) Please bring a belt for your holster.
• Hat or Cap with brim (to deflect hot spent shells and prevent them from getting between your safety glasses and eyes). 
• Loose fitting clothing with pockets works best or a coat with pockets for ammunition and magazines.

The NC Concealed Handgun Carry Permit Course is not a difficult course to complete. The state designed this course for the average person, not just for those with lots of experience. The range qualification shooting is fired from a distance of 3, 5 and 7 yards. With our instructions and guidance, shooters with very limited or no experience do very well.  We will return  one hundred percent of your money if you fail the range qualification or  we will work with you until you pass.   

According to Reece Trimmer, Harvard Law School Graduate and former Staff Attorney/Instructor at the North Carolina Criminal Justice Academy in Salemburg, NC, trained law enforcement officers only hit their target 15% of the time in real life shooting situations.

To increase your confidence and ability to shoot accurately during an extremely stressful real life  shooting situation,  I highly recommend that a shooter with little or no experience with a handgun take additional training in addition to your Concealed Handgun Carry Permit course.
