An important message about taking the NC Concealed Carry Handgun Safety Course:
It may be tempting to take a shortcut in the training required for a Concealed Handgun Permit. However, it may not be worth it in the end. Sheriffs and the Department of Justice are aware that some instructors have been asked to cut corners in training, and they are looking into the problem. If you are trying to take a class shorter than 8 hours it could compromise your application process. To be sure you are receiving the proper training, register for one of our classes or call us for a reference in your area.

Troy & Howard were a great team in presenting the concealed carry class. It was an all day learning experience. I have fired and qualified on many long guns in my life but had not spent a lot of time with hand-guns. They were very professional and knowledgeable in all of their presentations. I was surprised at how much this old dog learned in one day!”

I recently took the concealed carry class from Troy. The class was great, I learned a lot of useful information that I will never forget. Troy used several examples of life situations and incorporated the information that we needed to learn in a way that was understood and will be remembered.I have not had much experience with firearms but I do feel that I now could protect myself if I needed to. I have recommended to several of my friends that they should take this class for the knowledge not just to get a permit. Troy, Thank You for being a great instructor!”
