Description
An introduction to handguns and ammunition types, this course is perfect for anyone who has never handled a handgun, as well as those who are familiar with only one type or model. Firearm safety is core to the course, and a valuable refresh for even experienced shooters.
The class is a US Concealed Carry Association short course in the Concealed Carry & Home Defense Fundamentals series, supplemented with valuable information from several national level instructors.
A classroom or online only course, there is no live fire of any guns. The students will handle no actual ammunition. Students will handle non-firing replica training guns to practice proper safe handling and grip, and may handle actual working firearms, but, with no ammunition.
The course covers information that will help students decide on future handgun purchases.
The class is available as private instruction for one to four students. Contact the instructor to schedule.
