2023-07-10 09:00 - 12:00
Conceal Carry – Constitutional Carry – The Same and Yet Different
-What is the difference between the two?
-What are the advantages of one over the other?
-Do you meet the Federal and State standards to carry?
-Where can you carry?
-How can you carry?
-What are the storage options available?
-Do you know how to select your first gun – and the ammo for that gun?
-What is the Red Flag Law, Stand Your Ground Statute, the Castle Doctrine?
If the idea of carrying a gun is confusing or overwhelming, but something you are thinking about, let me break it down for you and explain all of the rules and options.
This course will give you the certification necessary to apply for your conceal carry permit in the State of Florida and is respected in 38 other states.
You do not have to be a Florida resident to acquire a Florida Conceal Carry Permit – have family coming to Florida for vacation, book a private class and get everyone certified at once. Make it a girls day out.
This class is approximately 2 hours in the classroom and one hour out on the range, including the use of my gun and ammo for qualification shoot (or bring your own if you prefer).
