Class Information
Students are instructed from the very beginning on the fundamentals of handgun safety and operation of various types of firearms, including revolvers and semi-automatics. And several hours of the class are devoted to a presentation of the law that governs the use of deadly force in North Carolina.
These classes are intentionally kept to around 6-8 students and very family-friendly. A $25 deposit is required to confirm your seat at the time of registration. Classes are often more than 50% female. The student who successfully completes the Certified Concealed Carry Handgun Class will be awarded with the required certificate to apply for a CCH Permit at the local NC Sheriff's office. Although not required, some experience in handgun shooting is indeed a plus.
To be eligible for a CCH permit in NC:
- Must be a US Citizen
- Must be in NC 30+ days
- 21+ years of age (you can take the class before 21)
- Not under felony indictment
- Cannot have felony conviction

- Cannot be discharged from armed forces under less than honorable condition

For a total of $75 you get the full CCH class and use of handgun and ammo is only $20 more. A nonrefundable $25 deposit is required at the time of registration to reserve your spot. In addition, larger group discounts with special dates are available...contact me for details at stevcole@gmail.com.
