with 10 hours of classroom instruction

and 2 hours on the firing range.

•  Students are given a handbook on Ohio Concealed Carry, and we go over the rules and regulations VERY  THOUROUGHLY. It is our goal to insure that each of our students knows and understands the Ohio Concealed Carry laws before they apply for their permit.

*  NOTE:  Any course that is shorter in classroom or range time does not meet Ohio Requirements, and should be avoided!
