SC CONSTITUTIONAL DEFENSE

I'VE NEVER SHOT A GUN BEFORE. WHAT DO I NEED TO LEARN BEFORE TAKING THIS CLASS?

Nothing!

In fact, we see lots of students week in and week out who have never touched a gun before.

We start at the beginner level. There is no prior knowledge you need to be successful. You are coming to class to have us TEACH you. So don’t try to prepare and learn it all before.

Actually, we find that often the complete newbies are better shooters than people who have some experience!! They are fresh canvases and they soak up the new knowledge. Sometimes experienced shooters have bad habits that are hard to break.

We will teach you everything you need to know. You will walk away with so much knowledge and a new sense of confidence about handling and shooting handguns!

You want to be trained

Super-practical training.

Everyone’s relationship to guns is different. We meet you where you are, steer clear of fancy terms, and teach like teachers (not drill sergeants).

We want you to walk away with more than just training — we want you to leave with unwavering confidence, no matter how you felt before.

An energized classroom.

You’ve already put in your time in dull classrooms when you were in school. Our course is anything but a snooze fest!

Our teaching style is fun, interactive, and designed to keep everyone on the edge of their seats and excited about what their futures hold.

Safe and informative range time.

Our instructors are very patient and have lots of experience working with new and experienced shooters.

During your time on the range, walk through the steps and make sure you feel comfortable handling, loading, and shooting a gun.

DO I HAVE TO HAVE MY OWN GUN?

Nope!

In fact if you DON’T have a gun yet, we strongly encourage you to wait until after taking the training to purchase one.

I don’t have a handgun:

You can rent a 22 lr/9mm/380Auto pistol + ear muffs and eye protections for ONLY $25. You can make this payment when you sign up for a session.

I have a handgun:

If you have a gun, we strongly encourage you to bring it. The training will be much more meaningful to you if you get trained on what you own. You’ll need to provide ammo for the training as well. Typically it is 25 shots for the range training. You can bring ammo or purchase it at the class. We don’t have casing or bullet restrictions on our range. But we want to keep it to standard handguns and not AR style pistols.

To bring your own gun, be sure that it is unloaded, including having your magazines unloaded. And keep it in a closed box, bag, or case. Just something to safely store it so that it isn’t out. You can bring it into the range but don’t take it out of the case until the instructor specifically asks you to take it out. For the safety of everyone in the class, handling a gun without instruction is a quick way to get dismissed from the class.

WHAT IF I AM PREGNANT?

You are more than welcome to take our class, BUT we choose not to train pregnant women on our range because of the potential for hearing damage to the baby and the exposure to toxic substances (lead) that are an unavoidable part of shooting.
We encourage you to take our class and wait untill you give birth to get the range qualification.

If you feel that you must complete this training, we’ll require a doctor’s note. We’ll keep a copy of it for our records.
