This is the class that is required by the local Sheriffs Office to obtain a Concealed Carry Permit. This class is comprised of 20% classroom and 80% range time (8-hours total) with additional scenerio time on the range. Classroom time involves two hours of discussion on the legal aspects of using deadly force in self-defense situation and the laws concerning where a concealed pistol may not be carried. The remainder of the class time will be on a live fire range covering firearms safety, nomenclature, decision making as well as marksmanship fundamentals.

Before completing this class the participant shall pass a test regarding the legalities of carrying a concealed pistol and the use of deadly force. In addition, the student must demonstrate how to safely load, unload and handle a pistol, as well as accurately shoot at a designated qualification target. Handling procedures are graded by the instructor during practical application, and shooting proficiency is determined by the score the student receives after shooting 25 rounds at a life-sized silhouette. Students are required to shoot from distances of 3, 5, 10, 25 and 50 yards.
