FAS-1 students learn how to shoot, as well as when a gun may be used in self-defense.

CONCEALED CARRY 101

Concealed Carry 101 was born out of the need to quickly and efficiently get students "up and running" with self-defense and concealed carry handgun skills. Information covered in this class includes: holster selection and carry methods, drawing from concealment, concealed carry wardrobe options, reloading and malfunction clearing, ammunition selection, and a variety of marksmanship skill building drills.

Our affordable Handgun Safety Seminar, a very popular program introduced in 2002, teaches the laws and Use of Force doctrine that is an inseparable part of the topic of carrying guns for self-defense. Thus, the Handgun Safety Seminar is a non-negotiable pre-requisite for Concealed Carry 101, even for registrants who have participated in other gun safety programs. We recommend that you to wait to enroll in Concealed Carry 101 (or any of our classes!) until you have completed the Handgun Safety Seminar, so you can benefit from an instructor's guidance about which class will best meet your training needs as your skills may exceed the basics taught in this class.

One of the main blocks of instruction for this class is selection of a good quality concealed carry holster. For this class, you only need a safe holster for range work, and we would recommend you wait until after the class to purchase an expensive concealed carry holster, unless you already have one.

Students must provide their own handgun of .380 caliber or larger, two magazines or speed loaders, a range or concealment holster of good quality (if you need to purchase one, we recommend Blade-Tech products), a sturdy belt, 200 rounds of full-metal jacket ammunition, ear muffs for hearing protection, wrap-around eye protection and a billed baseball type cap. Please come to class wearing trousers with a waistband and belt loops. Click here to view equipment requirements.

Prerequisites: Completion of the Handgun Safety Seminar. Students in this class will be required to sign a statement that they are legally entitled to own handguns prior to participation.
