Testimonials
“The Concealed Carry Course starts your training with the classroom lecture portion; laying down the fundamentals of the North Carolina Concealed Carry Handgun laws and statues, safety, and technique for marksmanship, presentation, cleaning and maintenance of your handgun. The course provided a great take home booklet also to reference a later date. You have an examination at the end of instruction on the materials and applications covered; you will be more than prepared with the knowledge gained.
The second part of this course is on the range. Starting with gun safety including storage, operation, ammunition, cycle of operation, maintenance, and so much more. You cover proper stance, technique on marksmanship such as target, sights, follow- through, what happens within your body and mind, etc… Lastly, ending this portion of the course with a handgun proficiency test. which you are extremely prepared for at this point in the training.
My personal progress throughout this and the previous Ladies Only Pistol course was stunning. I can go confidently through life with the training and knowledge I have received from the Virtue of Defense training courses. Education is key to our responsibility; I will not stop here and I encourage you to do the same!”
