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.

"This class was outstanding! I did have some experience with a firearm prior to the course, but this solidified my understanding of the law and how it would apply in a CPL scenario. Through humor, helpful tips, and positive coaching, I left the day smarter and better prepared for any setting that may occur. I highly recommend this course to anyone seeking knowledge and skills in this area. Mr. Cannon was an amazing instructor and rates 8 stars but only 5 were available!"

"Before the class, I was unaware of the laws, guidelines and safety rules for carrying a concealed weapon. I am glad that my husband signed us up because it was very informative and eye-opening. Our instructor was very knowledgable and excelled at explaining all the laws and terms into practical and real-life scenarios that made it easy for me to understand and grasp. When it came to the range practice, he gave calm and hands-on guidance to improve your shooting grip, stance and safety habits. I would highly recommend the CPL instructor for anyone looking to learn or carry a firearm responsibly. It is a valuble investment for both beginners and experienced shooters. 5 Stars! More than Excellent!! "

"The CPL class with Michael Cannon was exceptional. The trainer communicated very well from the very beginning, explaining what the course would be like and what to expect. The class emphasized the importance of safety as well as the law. This course is excellent for anyone that is considering getting a concealed carry permit or owning a firearm. The class included both theory and practical learning offering students an opportunity to understand the why before getting a chance to visit the shooting range. The instructor is very experienced, patient and ensures students are able to ask any questions they have. You do not need to own a firearm to take the course, all you need to have is the willingness to learn. The class is excellent for first timers as well as people with experience. Best CPL instructor in Michigan"
