At The Ready's Concealed Carry Weapons class will provide you with all the knowledge, training, and confidence you will need to confidently and legally defend yourself and your loved ones if the need should arise. We hope it will never happen, but want you to be prepared if it does.
Taking the responsibility to carry a gun for defense is serious business. You will receive personalized instruction in defensive gun handling and safety, marksmanship, addressing multiple threats, malfunctions clearing, wound treatment, legal and psychological issues, and much more from an experienced and courteous instructor. You will also receive a well prepared packet of information for follow-up study. It is a serious subject, but you will have a lot of fun in the class!

The new applicant class is 8 hours long and the renewal class is 4 hours including the shooting portion.
In both classes you will complete the necessary paperwork and qualify in live fire exercises on the range.
