South Carolina CWP / NRA Basic Pistol
Personal Training
Personal Protection In The Home
Personal Protection Outside The Home (Basic and Advanced)

Our classes are held at convenient locations in the greater Columbia, SC, area within a relatively short drive from the city's center. We teach relatively small classes. All places are reserved in advance as we receive applications.

When you reserve a place in a class we schedule you for an e-mail reminder that includes detailed driving directions, maps, and helpful supplementarty information for that class. Because our classes are small, and we prepare materials especially for each person in a class, we urge you to apply as early as possible. We close each each class as its available space is filled in advance.

As space permits we accommodate couples, friends, families, businesses, women's groups, and others who want to atttend the same class. It's a good idea to make advance arrangements. We can lend you one of our own guns by advance arrangement too: there's no charge for the loan. Click here for what to bring to class.

South Carolina CWP and NRA Basic Pistol

We hold South Carolina CWP and NRA Basic Pistol classes on at least the first Saturday of every month. We offer additional classes on other dates in between those regularly-scheduled classes. The schedule below is prepared a year in advance to give the maximum planning time to those who need it so we can't include every class. Click here for more information about our South Carolina CWP and NRA Basic Pistol classes. To reserve a place in a South Carolina CWP and NRA Basic Pistol class, e-mail us and include your local telephone number(s) so we can call to answer your questions and determine your needs.

Personal Training

Personal Training is when we work with you individually, one-on-one. Individual tutoring of that kind is often the fastest, most economical way to learn something because the focus is exclusively on you. We hold Personal Training sessions with experienced shooters as well as complete novices. It's an especially good way for some people to overcome a fear of firearms.

We'll be happy to arrange Personal Training sessions with you for mutually-convenient dates and times. We're usually able to hold them on weekdays as well as some weekends. By prior arrangement we can lend you a handgun, rifle, or shotgun. Of course if you use our firearm you must use the ammunition we provide and pay us for it before shooting. We want to make sure that the ammunition used in our guns is the same ammunition we use ourselves. Each personal training session is two hours in one of the following time slots:

Personal Training Daily Times
	9:00 A.M. - 11:00 A.M.		1:00 P.M  - 3:00 P.M.
	11:00 A.M. - 1:00 P.M.		3:00 P.M. - 5:00 P.M.

NRA Personal Protection In The Home

Personal Protection In The Home is the class to take after completing the NRA Basic Pistol class.

The NRA requires you to have taken the Basic Pistol class before admission into Personal Protection In The Home. Our South Carolina CWP class includes the NRA Basic Pistol class, which is a real bonus for our students. Otherwise we may be able to validate you for admission: contact us.

We hold Personal Protection In The Home classes throughout the year in the Columbia, SC, area. If you would like to reserve a place in a Personal Protection In The Home class, e-mail us and include your local telephone number(s) so we can call to answer your questions and determine your needs.

We hold Personal Protection Outside The Home classes--both Basic and Advanced--in the Columbia, SC, area throughout the year. If you would like to reserve a place in a Personal Protection Outside The Home class, e-mail us and include your local telephone number(s) so we can call to answer your questions and determine your needs.
