USCCA Intro to Concealed Carry Class

Learning to use a firearm can seem overwhelming but once you understand the fundamentals of shooting, we encourage you to consider your options when it comes to lawful concealed carry. This class gives you an introduction to carrying a concealed firearm, developing a safety plan, recognizing potential threats, avoiding confrontation, using your firearm as a last resort, the aftermath of a violent encounter, and more.

From there, we conduct live fire drills that concentrate on defensive shooting when you have no other options left to avoid serious bodily injury or death.

This is the first of our USCCA Concealed Carry courses. The USCCA Intro to Concealed Carry class will give you a strong foundation for understanding concealed carry… and how to avoid potential pitfalls should you decide to carry a firearm for lawful self-defense.

Required Prerequisites: Previous shooting experience or live-fire class.

Required Equipment: Semi-automatic pistol or revolver, 2 magazines or speed loader, 100 rounds of ammunition, eye protection, and ear protection.

Recommended Equipment: Sturdy belt and holster.
