Frequently Asked Questions
What if I cannot make my class?
Because our classes typically fill to capacity, we cannot provide refunds. If you let us know within 24 hours of the start of class, we will gladly reschedule you one time to another class date.
When do you offer concealed weapons permit classes?
We offer South Carolina concealed weapons permit (CWP) classes at least monthly throughout South Carolina. Check our schedule for upcoming dates near you.
Do I need to bring my own gun?
Yes. We do have a limited number of rental firearms, but this class is better served if you have your own equipment to learn with. Because rentals are limited, we strongly recommend bringing your own firearm.
I am a beginner. Is that okay?
The concealed weapons permit course is not a basic firearms course. You will need to understand how to operate and safely use your firearm when you arrive. If you have little to no experience, we offer private coaching and basic handgun classes designed just for you.
What do I need to bring with me?
Bring your firearm, ammunition, a holster, eye and ear protection, pen and paper, food and snacks for the day, and a great attitude ready to learn a valuable skill.
