What You'll Learn

This Multistate Concealed Course uses CDA, NRA, and USCCA curricula to meet the educational requirements for applying for your carry permit in AZ, FL, OH, & WV. This course is intended for individuals regardless of previous shooting experience. Course topics include gun safety rules, proper operation of revolvers and pistols, ammunition knowledge and selection, handgun selection and storage, shooting fundamentals, handgun inspection and maintenance, marksmanship, range safety, state laws, and more. Additionally, students will complete live fire training and a standardized shooting qualification while on the range with a Certified Instructor. NOTE: Although you are encouraged to use the firearm you carry, PLEASE DO NOT BUY A HANDGUN OR ANY OTHER EQUIPMENT BEFORE THE CLASS. If you do not have a handgun or safety equipment, contact us during registration about borrowing ours.

Cancellation Policy: A non-refundable deposit is required to register for any class. Students who cancel at least one week (seven days) before the beginning of the originally scheduled class can use that deposit for a future class with CDA, scheduled within one year of the end of the originally scheduled class.

    "I walked in not knowing anything about guns, shooting, laws, etc. I walked out with confidence. I can take a gun apart, clean it, shoot it, Ohio laws, and had a fun day. "
