Handgun Safety and Basic Shooting Fundamentals
This introductory class is designed for the individual who has limited knowledge and background in firearms. This class is for the person who has purchased a handgun (or is considering to purchase a handgun*), has some basic handling skills and may want to use it for personal protection. The student may have been exposed to some shooting, but has had no formal training in the basic fundamentals. This class will teach those basic skills so that the student can safely handle the firearm, enable the student to hit where they are aiming, and to clear a malfunctioning weapon. At least 3 "snap caps" are required for dry fire and malfunction drills.
*We will provide loaner handguns at an additional cost for those who are considering to purchase a handgun and may need guidance in that decision by handling different models and calibers.

Carry Concealed 1
Mississippi Concealed Carry Permit Endorsement
Louisiana Concealed Handgun Permit Class
This concealed carry endorsement class is for those that have the Firearms Permit for Mississippi and wish to add the Endorsement sticker to that permit. The class is also open to Louisiana residents who wish to attain their concealed carry permit and covers all the requirements of both states. The endorsement allows the firearm's holder to legally carry their firearm in certain other places that are not lawful with the regular firearms permit. It also covers all the classroom and range material that is required by Louisiana State Police as well as all the hands-on knowledge that our experienced instructors have earned from their years in law enforcement and as firearms instructors. This class also qualifies a student in certain other states that require the NRA Basic Pistol Course, or equivalent, to attain their original concealed handgun permit.
The course will cover the fundamentals in handling and shooting the firearm, nomenclature, ammunition, storage and carry issues, and gun laws specific to Mississippi and/or Louisiana (or other states that the student is seeking to apply for a concealed handgun permit). We understand that those seeking a concealed handgun permit take their responsibility of personal protection seriously and our full-day course structure is intended to teach you everything you need to know. We know that your time and money are limited, so we try to give you the best training day for your investment. The range drills are designed for the person who is carrying the firearm for personal defense. All drills will be conducted with a strong side holster which is able to be concealed with an over-shirt. The student must pass a written and practical exam to be eligible for the certificate of completion.
Once successfully completed, the student will be able to present this certificate to the Department of Public Safety of their respective state for a Concealed Handgun Permit or for their Mississippi Endorsement.
Upon signing up with the class, please indicate the state for which you are seeking the carry permit.
