Students will participate in a live-fire range session where they should expect to fire approximately 100 rounds of ammunition. Students will practice shooting from the holster, malfunction drills, shooting from cover/concealment and moving and shooting.

Over 1 million students have taken the U.S. Concealed Carry Association’s course offerings across the nation.
