Pre-CHL Course

Designed for those who do not own a firearm, or don’t know much about the one they own, and have had little practical training. This course starts at the most basic level to build solid proficiency, fundamental reflexes, firearms safety, and mental awareness through extensive scenario-based experiences.

Post-CHL Course

Intended for those who have already purchased a firearm, gotten the state license, and realize that they don’t know much of what they need to know to carry and shoot effectively. The materials build skills in the manner of the Pre-CHL course with a stronger focus on practical concealed carry. Post-CHL course details…

Combined with ongoing seminars, the Renewal CHL training provides critical sustainment training for participants. Pre-Renewal course details…
