We are committed to providing a safe and fun learning experience to everyone looking to learn about firearms and help those working towards obtaining a carry permit. To apply for a pistol permit most states require you to complete a handgun safety course (NRA’s “Basic Pistol Course) prior to submitting your pistol permit application. The course may be used for you to obtain the certification for your concealed carry permit in most states. Be sure to contact your county, city, or state to find out whether this course fulfills the requirement.
