Carry Permit Classes

[alien amp pharm]

Those of you who have your CCW permit, can you tell me what to expect?

Any trick questions, scenarios, etc I should know so that I don't look like a doofus in front of my GF since she is taking the class with me?

Someone told me when shooting they bring out a bad guy with a kid being held in front of him. Do I still shoot the bad guy? lol

I recently took the class and it was mostly just the legalities of carry a weapon in your state and gun safety.

For the range qualification it was just one shot down range at the gun range (this varies depending on who is giving the training).

http://www.nra.org/home.aspx should have state specific info for ya.

Just a basic handgun course with legalities and laws involved.

Oh. I thought there would be more shooting involved.

Do they quiz you at the end and fail/pass you based on your score?

I never had to take it because I compete in IDPA. It is a very good idea for someone who has not been shooting long. I may take the class just to get a better handle on local laws.

We had a 10 ? T/F "test" that we had to fill in.

We went over every ? on it first and if you got any wrong you're were given the test back to correct it.

well I took the class and it depends on your instructer (mine sucked ex. army) We did a classroom section which consisted of legal BS and gun safety and is full or senarios. The next day we qualified on the range.
and for your 49 dont shoot the bad guy unless, for you or someone with you its life or limb meaning for ex. if he's got no weapon and wants to kick your ass or someone with you thats no reason to shoot him, or for that matter pull out your gun what that means is now you have a lawsuit on your hands and the bastard will probaly win. Now, say hes gotta weapon either it be a knife or a gun and hes coming at you, you have to warn them that you have a weapon and if that doesnt stop em then you pull out the buisness end of your weapon, and if that doesnt work and hes still coming at you then and ONLY then can you kill the assisliant. shooting someone is a last resort thing, the class teaches you to avoid killing someone and walking away from the situation rather than starting one. hope this helps pm me if you have anymore ????
