• Pen and paper for taking notes
• Your driver’s license or other official state picture ID
• If you are renewing, your current carry permit
• Eye and ear protection if you have them
• The gun you will be qualifying with
• One box (50 rounds) of ammunition

What gun should I use to qualify?

If you have a gun for carry purposes, that is the gun you should qualify with. If you do not own a handgun, or if you would like to try out different model for carry purposes before you buy, you may use one of the guns we have available to qualify with (see list below). If you are unable to get ammunition for your carry gun (or the guns we have available for you to use), bring a box of .22LR and you can use one of our .22’s to qualify with.

How much ammunition do I need to bring?

One box (50 rounds) will be sufficient. As a service to our students, we do offer ammunition for sale at class when we can get it. As you may be aware, ammunition is very hard to get right now, and we currently do not have ammunition for sale at class. If you are unable to get ammunition for your carry gun (or the guns we have available for you to use), get a box of .22LR and you can use one of our .22’s to qualify with.
