NC Conceal Carry Handgun

Description

North Carolina has allowed law-abiding citizens to obtain a permit to carry a handgun concealed anywhere within the state (with exceptions) starting in 1995.  As of 2017, NC ranks 10th in number of permits with over 600,000 permits issued.

Our NC Conceal Carry Class (mandated by 12 NC Administrative Code 09F and approved by the NC Justice Academy) is an information packed, hands-on, interactive class.  We teach you firearm safety habits and show you the purpose of the major components of a handgun.  You will learn where you can/cannot carry, how to carry, how to present (draw), and when you are legally allowed to do so.  At the end of each section, you will handle all equipment for practice, memory retention and demonstrate understanding.

If you want to do more than sit and stare at a PowerPoint for 8-hours, you have found the right spot.  Sign-up today and join the other North Carolinian’s who have decided to take personal responsibility for safety of family and friends.
