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.

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.
