Delaware Concealed Carry Course (Instructor-Led, 8 hour course)

Cost: $200


Course Overview:

NOTE: You must be a Delaware resident to acquire a Delaware Concealed Carry permit.  If you are not a Delaware resident, this course WILL provide the necessary training to apply for a Florida Concealed Carry permit (which enables you to carry concealed in Delaware).  You can also sign up for the full MD Wear and Carry class, which will enable you to apply for both MD and DE permits.

The objective of this comprehensive safety course is to provide the student with the knowledge required to legally own, carry, and shoot a firearm. It is designed to exceed Delaware’s training requirements for residents seeking to apply for their Delaware license to carry a concealed deadly weapon.

This course will teach the proper mindset and understanding of necessary tactics to use firearms to defend home, family, and freedom.

This is an eight-hour course which includes live-fire training on the range and classroom instruction. Required items: handgun (rentals available), holster (if you have one), 150 rounds of ammunition, ear and eye protection, plenty of water.

We then work through a series of practical live fire shooting exercises. The range portion concludes with the required 25-round Maryland Wear and Carry permit qualification.
