About the Course

This is the prerequisite course for an application to obtain an NC Concealed Carry Handgun permit. The course opens with a safety briefing, followed by the shooting qualification on the firing range. After the shooting qualification, there will be 8 hours of classroom training, ending with the written test. Successful completion of the course, and subsequently receiving a CCH Certificate, requires that students pass the shooting and written exam. After successful completion of the course, students will be able to apply for their NC CCH permit with their respective county's Sheriff's Office.

Shooting Qualification

• 3-yards: 10 Shots

• 5-yards: 10 Shots

• 7-yards: 10 Shots

• 21 of 30 shots must land within the 7-ring of a B27 target. All shots must be within the silhouette.

You're welcome to bring your personal firearm to this class. If you will be renting a firearm, you will be able to choose between a Glock 44 (.22 LR), Glock 45 (9mm), or a Glock 19 (9mm). Your instructor will likely recommend using the 9mm.

Shooting Qualification FAQs

• Question: Do you teach us how to use a handgun before the shooting qualification?
  • Answer: No, students must already know how to operate their handguns. This is not an instructional course. This course covers North Carolina's Concealed Carry Laws.
• Question: Can I shoot a couple of rounds before I qualify?
  • Answer: No, this is a shooting test. There is no practice shooting prior to the qualification. If you want to practice we suggest coming the day before your course.
• Question: What happens if I fail the course?
  • Answer: If a student fails the written exam you are required to take the entire course over. If a student fails the shooting qualification the instructor will permit 1 requalification. However, the instructor may require remedial action to take place, such as private instruction. There will be no refund or discount provided if a student fails the course.
• Question: Will meals be provided?
  • Answer: No, students will be required to have their own bagged lunch.

About the Course

Intermediate Pistol transitions shooters from our Basic Pistol course to our Defensive Pistol Series. This course focuses on the repetition of fundamentals -which are often taught but rarely emphasized.

Intermediate Pistol is a four-hour class that is designed to run like private instruction. One hour of classroom time permits the instructor to refresh students with safety procedures, terminology, and illustrations of the fundamentals. After classroom time, an average of three hours of range time will follow - this is our longest range-time course! On the range, we will have a lead instructor directing live-fire drills. However, every 2-3 students will have an additional instructor that will work directly with them. Having these additional instructors ensures that no student is overlooked regardless of minor or major adjustments needed.

Our goal for Intermediate Pistol is to increase students' knowledge, experience, and confidence in a challenging and fun environment. Shooters can expect to fire approximately 200 rounds throughout our increasingly challenging drills. Please note that some drills are created to induce stress while shooting.

Students will learn and then put into motion the following principles of shooting to ensure that their foundation will allow them to confidently move forward in their pursuits of more advanced training: firearm safety, malfunction causes, immediate action drill (clearing malfunctions), and more.

You're welcome to bring your personal firearm to this class. If you will be renting a firearm, you will be able to choose between a Glock 44 (.22 LR), Glock 45 (9mm), or a Glock 19 (9mm). Your instructor will likely recommend using the 9mm.
