Concealed Carry Fundamentals

Carrying a concealed weapon (CCW) is a significant responsibility that requires more than just basic firearms knowledge. It demands an understanding of how to handle high-stakes scenarios, select appropriate equipment, and consider the profound impact it will have on your daily life. For many, the idea of carrying a firearm in public spaces can feel daunting. This class is designed to guide you through these challenges with confidence and clarity. Whether you’re new to CCW or seeking to refine your approach, this class equips you with the knowledge and skills you need to carry responsibly and effectively.
