CLASS GOALS INCLUDE:

  • Small sized classes for personalized attention.
  • Providing an interesting & informative class.
  • Providing a range experience with strong emphasis on safety while building confidence in operating your firearm.
  • Review the laws as they pertain to concealed carry.


  • Upon successful completion of this class, a certificate of completion will be issued to you which allows you to begin the application process to legally conceal carry in Ohio as well as many other states.
  • You'll be provided with comprehensive information as it pertains to concealed carry in Ohio.
  • Beginner's will gain valuable knowledge and skills. 
  • Experienced shooters will receive tools to refine their abilities.

WHAT TO BRING

  • Hand gun in safe / working condition (center-fire or rimfire)
  • Don't buy a gun for this class.  We'll help you learn what's best so you don't buy a "mistake".

    *Holster - optional*
  • Min. 50 rounds of target ammo and two (2) magazines or speed loaders
  • Eye and Ear protection.  We can provide loaners if you don't wear prescription framed glasses.

DRESS FOR THE CONDITIONS

You will not be outdoors for long periods of time. 
 However, the range is outdoors, so dress accordingly.

PACK FOOD / SNACKS

  • We have a fridge and microwave if you need it.
  • Coffee and bottled water are available at no charge.  Our soda machine has bottles available.
  • There is not enough time to let students leave for lunch and still maintain the State of Ohio's minimum 8 hour class requirement.   
  • BRING FOOD!

Ohio training requirements?

 OUR CLASS SURPASSES OHIO'S MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR OBTAINING YOUR CONCEALED HANDGUN LICENSE!


You need a min. of 8 hours of training (at least two hours must be live-fire training on the range) that meets specific requirements as spelled out by Ohio Law.  HERE is a link to an audio recording of the most recent Ohio CCW Laws as of 4/6/2021.

CLASS SAFETY PROTOCOLS

DO NOT bring your handgun or ammunition inside the classroom.

Please leave these items in your vehicle until it is time to go to the range.
 

No live ammo will be allowed in the classroom during this course.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION

Up to date Ohio Atty. Gen.'s Law Manual here (written version)


  Effective Nov. 2018, SB 81, which lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to pass, waives the concealed-carry license fee for active members of the armed forces and retired and honorably discharged veterans.  

 

Thank you to those who have served honorably!
