Level 1: 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.

Concealed Carry 101 is done from the holster and is where students are first introduced to drawing from a holster in our program. Concealed Carry 102 allows students more practice with their gear before moving onto other FAS classes. Students may also enter our curriculum at Level 2: Defensive Handgun but are required to already have a concealed pistol license and at least some experience drawing from a holster.

We frequently pair this class on a weekend with our Concealed Carry 102 or Level 1: Intro to Handguns class, which is the mandatory pre-requisite for this class, to give students an opportunity to train for an entire weekend. The Intro class covers legal use of force in self defense along with fundamentals of marksmanship and basic handgun manipulations from the bench.

Information covered in this class includes: holster selection and carry methods, drawing from concealment, ammunition selection, and a variety of handgun manipulation and marksmanship skill building drills.

Prerequisites: Completion of FAS Level 1: Intro to Handguns. Students in this class will be required to sign a statement that they are legally entitled to own handguns prior to participation.

Tuition: $250
$50 discount for retakes. Must register by phone to receive discount.
