FAQ

The NC Concealed Handgun Carry Permit Course is not a difficult course to complete. The state designed this course for the average person, not just for those with lots of experience. The range qualification shooting is fired from a distance of 3, 5 and 7 yards. With our instructions and guidance, shooters with very limited or no experience do very well. We will return one hundred percent of your money if you fail the range qualification or we will work with you until you pass.

According to Reece Trimmer, Harvard Law School Graduate and former Staff Attorney/Instructor at the North Carolina Criminal Justice Academy in Salemburg, NC, trained law enforcement officers only hit their target 15% of the time in real life shooting situations.

To increase your confidence and ability to shoot accurately during an extremely stressful real life shooting situation, I highly recommend that a shooter with little or no experience with a handgun take additional training in addition to your Concealed Handgun Carry Permit course we offer basic firearms and safety classes as well.
