SPECIFIC FIREARMS COURSE INFORMATION

Concealed Handgun Permit Plus
This is NOT your typical firearm safety class. It’s well boyond the norm.
This is an indoor classroom and scenario room course with no live ammunition. We use UTM non-marking rounds (same as the Military and Law Enforcement use for training) on modified Glock model pistols or RAM Glock 17 replica models firing .43 cal rubber ammo for the scenarios. All equipment for the scenarios and shooting portions will be provided at no extra cost. You will use your own handgun, holster, and magazines for the rest of the course, with no live ammunition allowed in the building. If you don’t have a handgun, holster, or magazines, we can loan you those too for a small additional fee! (indicate when registering).
CHP+: Concealed Handgun Permit Certification Plus (sometimes referred to as a CCW incorrectly in CO).
