What You'll Learn
WHO: Dorchester Gun Shop proudly serves Michigan and beyond! From firearm sales to training, we offer a personalized experience both on an individual or group basis. This Concealed Carry & Home Defense Fundamentals (CCHDF) class, when successfully completed, will allow you to obtain your Michigan Concealed Pistol License (CPL).
WHAT: As former military, 2A supporters, and CPL holders since the early 2000's, we have the experience and knowledge to provide the necessary training and information needed to protect yourself from a would-be attacker. We offer group classes on the first Sunday of every month (or the following Sunday after a holiday weekend). Individual classes are available for those that prefer something more private. Check out our Instructor reviews and A+ STELLAR reviews on Google, facebook, GunBroker, etc. Just Google Dorchester Gun Shop or Dorchester Gun Station. We continually strive to EXCEED ALL OF OUR CUSTOMER'S EXPECTATIONS!
WHERE: Class and shooting qualification will take place in Clarkston. Range fees are included in the cost of your class. We will also have practice drills with SIRT pistols and a computer simulator using a recoil simulated pistol, which is identical to the look, feel, and function of a real firearm! You will swear it's real! After practice simulation, you will qualify with live fire utilizing your own pistol. We will break for 30 minutes (around noon) to allow everyone to leave and get lunch if they didn't bring their own. You may eat and drink throughout this class.
WHEN: Group classes are typically scheduled on the first Sunday of every month, unless its a holiday or holiday weekend and will be held the following week. Class size is limited to 24 students. Individual classes are offered as well for an additional charge.
