In our USCCA Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals class, we focus on situational awareness and conflict avoidance. Our course will empower students to be self-determined and intentional about their safety and the safety of those they love. We place heavy emphasis on the legal aspects of carrying a firearm; when you can use force, how to travel with a firearm, and dealing with the aftermath of a self-defense encounter. Finally, the time you spend on the range with our instructors will introduce you important skills and the lessons learned will encourage safe and responsible firearm ownership.
A minimum of 5 registered students are required for this class to be held. If the minimum amount of registrations are not met, those who have registered will be moved to a new class date.
Eye/ear protection, firearm rental, lunch, and target are included at no additional cost. If you need to rent a firearm and purchase ammunition at the range, you will be able to. Firearm rental and ammunition will be approximately $50.
