Minnesota statutes offer the law-abiding citizen the opportunity to secure a permit to carry a concealed firearm. This course is designed to meet the requirements to allow you to apply for that permit.

Topics covered include:
- Handgun Basics
- Mental Preparation
- Shooting Fundamentals
- Use of Deadly Force
- Conflict Avoidance
- Basic Tactics
- Proficiency test

This is NOT an entry level class and basic handgun experience is required.

We suggest that you bring your cased and unloaded handgun, along with 50 rounds or more of factory ammunition. You may rent a firearm for $15.00 but remember, you must be able to safely operate the firearm and have a working knowledge of its safety features. We strongly recommend renting the model before your course date to familiarize your self with the firearm. The course is approximately 6 hours long. Cost is $150.00 which includes classroom materials, range fee, targets, hearing and eye protection.

Upon successful completion of the course, you will be given a certificate. A copy of this certificate, proficiency test and your I.D., along with other forms the state will provide, must be submitted with $100.00 fee to the county office in charge of processing permits where you live. Once submitted the average time to receive your permit is 30 days.
