Frequent Questions

What if I can't make my class?

Unfortunatley because of the numbers of students asking for these seats we do not offer a refund, but we will offer to reschedule you to another class.

When do you offer concealed weapons permit classes?

We offer classes at least monthly in West Columbia in Florence.

Do I need to bring my own gun?

Yes.  We do have rental firearms, but we feel that this class is better served for you if you have your own equipment to learn with that.  We are also limited on the amount of rentals that we can offer.

I am a beginer, is that ok?

The concealed weapons permit course is not a basic firearms course.  There is a need that you understand how to operate and use your firearm when you come to class.  We offer private coaching and basic handguns classes just for those that have little to no experience.

What do I need to bring with me?

Your firearm, ammunition, holster, eye and ear protection, pen and paper, food and snacks for the day, and a great attitude to learn a valuable skill.
