NRA Basic Personal Protection In The Home course is for law-abiding adult citizens, as defined by applicable federal, state, or local law, and experienced shooters (shooters able to show
mastery of the basic skills of safe gun handling, shooting a group, zeroing the firearm, and cleaning the firearm) to maximize what can be learned from this course. Proof of shooting
experience can be one of the following: NRA Basic Pistol Course Certificate, NRA FIRST Steps Course Certificate, NRA pistol competitive shooting qualification card, military DD 214 with pistol qualification, or passing the Pre-Course Assessment.

We think all of our graduates of past classes who have been wanting to know, “what’s the next training step” will really enjoy this class!  It’s also a great class for exceptionally seasoned shooters to take as their first 8 hours of training towards the 16 required for Illinois Concealed Carry permit.  Completion of this course also qualifies you to apply for a Florida Concealed Carry Permit.

We strongly recommend that you do not wear loose fitting tops while shooting. We also recommend that you do wear a hat with a brim while shooting in class. NO open toed shoes allowed on the range.

This class is scheduled based on interest. Contact us to get on the list.
