Over 1 million students have taken the U.S. Concealed Carry Association’s course offerings across the nation. Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals is a comprehensive classroom course for anyone considering owning or carrying a firearm for self-defense. If you are new to handguns, this is a great introduction to everything you need to know to start your self-protection journey.

This course is a complete guide to understanding the basics of firearms ownership, safety, and nomenclature, and how it applies to home- or self-defense. After this class, students will feel confident to act as their family’s first line of defense in the event of a home invasion or other critical incident.

Additional Notes from Your Instructor

The date of the class is Saturday May 10, 2025. Classroom portion will be held in the banquet hall with the shooting component at the Elks Range. Start time is 9:30 am. We allocate 200 to 300 rounds of ammunition per student. Once you have made your minimum qualifications using 22 caliber ammunition, we encourage you to shoot our 9mm, 357 magnum, 38 caliber, and 45 caliber handguns. You will rarely get that opportunity anywhere else. We shoot on our own range and all proceeds go to support Elk Lodge 2202 charities.
