There are a lot of options for CWP training out there, but we are proud of the curriculum that we have developed to take a more thorough, pragmatic approach to carry a concealed weapon. Our instructors will work hard to make sure you have a solid working knowledge of our state's laws, gun safety, and critical thinking skills. We offer classes at our location or yours, for both individuals, and groups. All firearms portions at held at our outdoor gun range in Taylors. Our classroom session is 6 hours while the firearm test is 2 hours.
