Basic CCW – NRA Certification Course
Best For: New gun owners who seek basic focused training for carrying a concealed weapon, obtained a Florida CWP with a “short course” and want more in-depth training, or wish to get a Florida CWP but have more training than an entry level license “short” course.
Benefits: Exceeds Florida CWP Requirements, blend of some basic knowledge and CCW, provides insight into a proper mindset and knowledge needed to carry a concealed handgun.
This next generation course meets and exceeds the training requirements to obtain a Florida CCW permit, but this is not the 2-3 hour “Florida CWP” course. This next-level course is designed to provide the knowledge, skills, and attitude necessary to safely and responsibly carry a concealed pistol for personal protection.
Having a license to conceal and carry a firearm is a major responsibility. This instructor provides both new and experienced shooters with an updated, refined experience in the classroom and on the range. This 9-hour (plus shooting time) course includes classroom and range time. You will be exposed to easy-to-learn shooting skills, responsible and safe gun ownership, handling, and storage methods. Additionally, you will become confident in additional positions, drawing, holstering, and the responsibilities of carrying concealed. Students will complete live fire training and a nationally standardized shooting qualification while on the range with an NRA Certified Instructor. Course topics include (but are not limited to):
- Firearm Safety
- Pistol Nomenclature
- Basic Defensive Pistol Skills
- Drawing from Concealment
- Loading and Stoppage Remediation
- Mindset and Responding to an Attack
- Carry Modes and Concealment
- Defensive Shooting Qualification
Most importantly, during this course you will build the confidence and enthusiasm needed to have fun AND be safe. Students will be exposed to skills improvement methods that you can take home for the future. There will be Q&A time, quality NRA Class Materials, and a hands-on shooting skills experience.
We will provide handguns and holsters to use if you do not have them (wear a sturdy belt). If you have equipment questions, we will do our very best to answer them. Please contact the instructor for details. Students that do own a handgun should bring their handgun and 150 rounds of ammunition. Bring your holster and a sturdy belt, wear t-shirt type collars for safety.
