Concealed Carry for the Law-abiding Citizen

This four (4) hour class focuses on drawing your gun from concealment and firing to stop a deadly threat. An introduction to proper drawing techniques without concealment is covered then we concentrate on drawing from a variety of clothing conditions. Several different firing drills are covered in this course as well.

Too often, law abiding citizens have a permit to carry but rarely practice the draw from a variety of concealment conditions. We will cover a number of techniques and factors that will increase your chances of surviving a deadly force encounter.

Students should bring a firearm, 2 magazines, approximately 150 rounds of ammunition, eye, and ear protection, and your Rhode Island Pistol Permit Application. A holster is recommended but not required. Previous shooting experience is recommended.

We are very glad to resume Preserve Academy classes and are keeping your health and safety as our highest priority. For each class, please bring a face mask and hand sanitizer. We will ensure classrooms, the range and all other areas related to your class are regularly cleaned and sanitized.

Thank you for your patience and for joining a Preserve Academy class. We are glad to have you back.
