My Biography

Hi, I'm Matt Clum, founder of Carolina Concealed Solutions and a USCCA Official Partner.

I've been around firearms for more than 15 years and have a passion for helping people become safer, more confident, and more responsible gun owners. As a USCCA Certified Instructor and North Carolina DOJ Approved Concealed Carry Instructor, I enjoy working with everyone from first-time gun owners to experienced shooters looking to sharpen their skills.

At Carolina Concealed Solutions, our goal is simple: provide practical, professional training in a safe and welcoming environment. Whether you're taking your North Carolina Concealed Carry Course, learning firearm safety, improving your shooting fundamentals, or developing a home defense plan, we want you to leave feeling more prepared and confident than when you arrived. We believe good training should be informative, hands-on, and approachable. No matter your experience level, you'll be treated with respect and given the tools you need to continue growing as a responsible firearm owner.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you on your training journey.

    "I recently completed a concealed carry class with Matt, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. Matt is an outstanding instructor who is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and safety-conscious throughout the entire course. From the moment class started, it was clear that, other than Jesus, safety was Matt’s highest priority. He took the time to thoroughly explain every aspect of firearm handling, ensuring everyone understood proper procedures and felt comfortable asking questions. His teaching style was clear, patient, and easy to follow, regardless of your experience level. What stood out most was how much Matt genuinely cares about what he does. He isn’t just teaching a class—he’s making sure every student leaves with the knowledge, confidence, and responsibility needed to safely carry a firearm. His passion for instruction and commitment to his students really shows. If you’re looking for a concealed carry instructor who is professional, dedicated, and puts safety first, I highly recommend Matt. It was a great experience, and I would gladly take another class with him in the future."
