What does training require

Å Expect to spend 14 hours* in the classroom learning the necessary legal, safety and practical aspects of carrying a handgun for self-defense.

Å Expect to spend between 30 to 60 minutes on the range depending on your level of handgun experience. Range qualification may need to be done at a separate time or location   NACFI instructors want you to leave understanding handgun safety, shooting accurately, and with a sense of poise and confidence.

Å We generally recommend that you come to the Permit to Carry Course with some handgun experience. If you lack handgun experienced, we can provide private training in the safe use and accurate shooting of a handgun.
