NC Concealed Carry Class in Charlotte, NC
The Carolina Sporting Arms guides understand your concerns and are here to help you on your journey. After years of training, our guides are experts at providing unforgettable unifying experiences. The NC Concealed Carry class is the next step in building your training foundation.
Now, you’re wondering what to expect? An NRA/NCDOJ certified instructor will discuss:
- – safety and shooting basics
- – defensive handgun selection
- – maintenance, ammunition, and holsters
- – how to clear malfunctions
- – escalation of force and relevant North Carolina gun laws
Once the classroom portion is completed, you will participate in a qualification exercise on the live-fire range. Your instructor will take you through the basics, so don’t worry if you have limited experience with handguns. If you don’t feel comfortable with a concealed gun, we offer beginner’s courses that will be a great First Steps in your training. These classes will give you the knowledge and confidence you deserve to continue with your training. Please note, this course is also offered in a Spanish-speaking setting.
First and EXTREMELY IMPORTANT is that you understand that this is an intermediate NC Concealed Carry Class for people who have some experience shooting a handgun. If you have had little or no experience with handguns then you should first opt for one of our basic pistol courses. This is NOT a class to learn how to shoot a gun AND receive a certificate to carry concealed!!! Please note that individuals who have extensive experience with rifles and/or shotguns should fare well in an intermediate class.
“My favorite aspect was watching the gun cleaning. The takedown of the gun was fundamental to learning about the parts. No suggestions for improvement, Joey and Mike were excellent!“
