Two Session Course verses One Day Class

"Training is a Process, not an Event"

The Statutes require that the course should be no less than 10 hours and no more than 15 hours. I prefer to do a split classroom (4 hours on a weekday and 6 hours on Saturday) because you will retain more of the information. The Saturday session is what is required to renew your license. It is your responsible that you have received the required training and you must submit an affidavit to that effect. I use a Power Point presentation with slides and video clips that will keep the attention of the experienced shooter and not be beyond the understanding of the novice. The class is an open discussion format so that we all can learn from each others observations and experiences as long as we stay on the subject matter that must be covered. Pictures, finger printing, notary service and paperwork is completed from my home office so you have everything you need to mail your application at the end of the course.

The first class is 4+ hours of classroom covering:

Eligibility & Application Process

The CHL Statutes and firearms laws

The Laws and Your Concealed Handgun License

Firearms Choices and Ballistics

Weapon storage and safety in the home

Marksmanship and range safety

First aid and self help

The second 2+ hours is handgun proficiency

The Final class is 4+ hours of classroom covers:

Non Violent Dispute Resolution
Use of Force and Legal issues (information your attorney needs to defend you)

Psychological Trauma of having used force

Equipment and weapons maintance and care

Review of statutes and changes

Examination and certification.

The average person can only retain 1 1/2 to 2 hours instruction at a time so breaks are necessary to maintain your concentration. To get your minimum 10 hours in and the necessary breaks makes for an extremely long day.

This is an important decision that you are making and should not be taken lightly. The majority of the course is teaching you how to keep from using your handgun and thereby saving yourself thousands of dollars in legal fees and still protecting your life and preserve the lives of other persons. Get the most you can from your CHL course, after all, you are paying for it! It is information you may need some day.
