• • • Our Permit To Carry class gives you all of the information needed to safely and confidently carry your pistol in public. This is not a gun safety course, but a rules and regulations course. We will give you the ins and outs of the laws involving carrying a pistol. The class lasts, roughly, three hours and includes range time. Our PTC course price covers a free firearm rental, eye protection, ear protection, a target, and the instruction needed to obtain your certificate of completion and permit.

This is a women’s only course taught by a woman. We want everyone to feel as comfortable as possible when learning about firearms, so we are offering a space where women can be among other women who are just as new to firearms or maybe just need a refresher on their use. This class will cover the basics of Pistol 101 and the full Permit to Carry course. Expect up to four hours in the classroom to accommodate all questions and concerns before heading to the range to practice your new skills.
