An important message about taking the NC Concealed Carry Handgun Safety Course:

   It may be tempting to take a shortcut in the training required for a Concealed Handgun Permit.  However, it may not be worth it in the end.  Sheriffs and the Department of Justice are aware that some instructors have been asked to cut corners in training, and they are looking into the problem.  If you are trying to take a class shorter than 8 hours it could compromise your application process.  To be sure you are receiving the proper training, register for one of our classes or call us for a reference in your area.
