Nevada - Florida CCW

NV~ FL  CCW                                                  8hrs/$75

The Nevada concealed  firearms permit allows you to carry your firearm concealed in Nevada and many other states.  This class also fulfills the requirements for a Florida CCW permit.    This is an advanced course that assumes the student is proficient with the firearm they intend to carry.  

This class covers:

• Nevada Revised Statutes pertaining to CCW and personal defense
• Choosing the right firearm (types, size and caliber)
• Choosing the right holster
• Choosing the right ammunition, according to the need
• The Defense Mindset
• What to expect IF you have to use your firearm
• Case law examples of scenarios
• Where you are prohibited from carrying a firearm
• Reciprocity with other states
• Firearm safety and storage
• Qualification

The state of Nevada requires 8 hours of classroom instruction to complete this course as well as, a qualification course to show proficiency with one firearm.  Please come prepared with your firearm to be able to pass the qualification.  If you are not at this point yet, please ask about the Intro to Handgun or Intermediate courses and Gary will get you there!

Utah CCW ~   We offer the Utah CCW as a "Utah only" for $40  OR as a combo with NV/FL for $100.  
   **In order to legally fulfill both Nevada and Utah's requirements, we add an extra hour of instruction pertaining to Utah law to the regular Nevada Class**  
​
NV CCW Renewals are simple!  Jump into an "in progress" CCW class at 1:00 and pay $65 for the required 4 hours and qualifying portion!

Intro to Handguns and Safety: 4 hours | $125

Intro to Handguns and Safety    4hrs/$125

This course is designed with the beginner shooter in mind.  All safety equipment, ammunition and firearms will be provided.  The goal of this course is to introduce the student to various types and calibers of firearms to help them decide which firearm is best for them.  The class consists of 4 hours of classroom learning and about 1  hour of personal training range time.  Each student will schedule 1 hour of additional personal range time, after the class, at their convenience.

The class covers:

• Safe gun handling and firing
• Cleaning and storage of firearms
• Selecting the right firearm (size, type, and caliber)
• Selecting the right ammo for your firearm
• An overview of holster types
• Live fire of both semi-auto pistols and revolvers including:
  • .22LR
  •  .380 ACP
  •  9mm
  •  .38 SPL
  •  .40 S&W 
  • .45 ACP
  • .357 magnum

This class is a great way to introduce new shooters (of any age) to the shooting sports in a safe and controlled environment.  My way of teaching is "you have to learn to crawl, before you learn to walk"  Many new shooters are taught poorly with big caliber firearms, without any safety equipment and no training as to the safe handling of firearms.  My goal is to keep new shooters shooting, not scare them away thinking that all guns have "too much recoil".  This class will allow each shooter to try many calibers and show how the proper grip and technique will allow them to manage the recoil of any caliber.

Intermediate Handgun: 4 hours | $100

Intermediate Handgun          4hrs/$100

We recommend this course to anyone who is interested in getting a concealed carry permit for any state.  I remind my clients that a CCW is an ADVANCED course.  The goal of a CCW class is to teach laws, scenarios and test for proficiency with a firearm.  If you aren't proficient with a firearm and ready to carry your firearm immediately after receiving your permit, then you need training to get you ready.  This course will do that!  Give yourself the tools and training necessary to gain the confidence to carry your firearm and USE it if, heaven forbid, you should need to. 
This course will teach you:

• Drawing from a holster
•  Tactical reloads
• Slide lock reloads
• Engaging multiple targets
• Shooting to STOP the threat
• Malfunction drills
• Engaging targets with both dominant and weak hand
  
• Shooting from behind cover

This 4 hour course requires students to have their own firearms, holster, at least 2 magazines with carrier, a cover garment and at least 100 rounds of ammunition.  It is also a pre-requisite for the Tactical I class.

Tactical Handgun I: 4 hours | $150

Tactical Handgun I                4hrs/$150

This course is designed to take the student to a higher level of handgun shooting.  It focuses on advanced drills, movements and fast, while accurate, combat shooting.  Develop skills that may become necessary when carrying your firearm concealed for your protection.  This course requires a per-requisite of the Intermediate Handgun course which teaches the foundations that we build off of in Tactical I. 

In this course you will learn:

• Shooting on the move
• Reloading on the move
• Proper use of cover and concealment
• Slicing the pie
• Shooting from multiple positions
• Room Clearing
• Situational Awareness
• Learning to scan and access
• Use of flashlight while shooting

This is a four hour course all taught at the range.  Each student will need their firearm, a holster, 3 magazines. a magazine carrier, cover garment, and at least 150-200 rounds of ammunition.

Shoot safe, shoot straight, and we'll see you on the range!
