Concealed Carry Weapon - CCWCCW Classroom

LOCATION:

Saint Joseph, MO and surrounding areas.

COST:

CCW classes are normally taught on Saturdays, beginning at 8am and running until we are finished ( lunch is provided on-site at the classroom location).  By state law, Missouri CCW classes must be a minimum of 8 hours in length and must cover, at a minimum, the following topics:

* Our classes exceed this requirement (RSMO 571.111.2.2 and RMSO 571.111.2.9) by requiring applicants to fire both a revolver and a semi-automatic during the live fire practice sessions.

Requirements

Class requirements:

  1. An applicant that meets the requirements to get a permit (see below)
  2. Eye and ear protection is required on the range.  We have some spare sets of safety glasses and always carry spare ear plugs, but bring your own if you have them.
  3. Handgun(s) that you wish to fire during the live fire ranges sections.  Each applicant will shoot both a revolver and a semi-auto pistol.  If you don't have both - or haven't purchased a firearm yet, that's okay.  We will have several available at the range in different sizes, weights, styles, and calibers.  For first-time or new firearms owners, it is better to come to the class first, so that you can make a better, more informed decision on your firearm purchase.
  4. Ammunition for your personal firearm(s).
  5. Pen or pencil and paper for any notes that you want to take.
  6. Water and coffee are available at the classroom site and iced tea will be provided during lunch.  If you want something else, you are welcome to bring whatever non-alcoholic beverages you wish.
