This course meets the training requirements to apply for a Concealed Carry permit in Virginia. The course will consist of a minimum 4 hours of instruction, including both classroom and live fire training. In the classroom, students will learn fundamentals of firearm safety, ammunition, storage, and practical considerations of concealed carry. Using SIRT guns, students will practice handling and marksmanship, including: loading and unloading, grip, stance, trigger pull and eye dominance. In addition to learning the laws related to concealment, students will learn what constitutes self defense in Virginia, the importance of mindset, conflict avoidance, and less lethal options, and what to expect in the aftermath of a self defense situation. Students will then adjourn to a local range to practice these skills in live fire.
