NC Concealed Carry Handgun (CCH/CCW)

Description

The curriculum for this course adheres to the NC Concealed Carry Handgun (CCH) requirements mandated by the state. It combines classroom instruction with practical exercises on the range, equipping students with a foundational skill set in concealed carry and presentation techniques. Additionally, students will gain an understanding of carry/no-carry and shoot/no-shoot scenarios.

This is a one-day class that typically runs from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Upon completion, participants will receive the certificate required by the sheriff’s department to apply for a concealed carry permit. The training day spans 8 to 9 hours, including an hour for lunch. It is highly recommended that participants bring their own lunch, snacks, and drinks.

Alternatively, the course can be split into two 4-hour sessions over two days upon request, provided there is a minimum of five participants. Please email the instructor to coordinate this option.
