WHAT TO BRING:

 Hand gun in safe / working condition (center-fire)

Don't buy a gun for this class.  

We'll help you learn what's best so you don't buy

"a mistake".

It makes good sense to train with a gun you'll likely carry.  If you don't have an appropriate handgun, free loaner's are available for class.

*Holster - optional*

   100 rounds of target ammo

 Two (2) Magazines or speed loaders

Appropriate clothing for the weather

During inclement weather, we make use of a heated building to keep you comfortable.

You will not be outdoors for long periods at a time. 
 However, the range is outdoors, so dress accordingly.

Pack food /snacks

We have a fridge and microwave for anyone who may need it.

  Coffee, bottled water and soft drinks are available at no charge.

There just is not enough time to let students leave for lunch and still maintain the State of Ohio's minimum 8 hour class requirement.


What training do you need to meet the state's requirements?

You need a min. of 8 hours of training (at least two hours must be live-fire training on the range) that meet specific requirements as spelled out by Ohio Law.  

 Safety:

  DO NOT bring your handgun or ammunition inside the classroom.

Please leave these items in your vehicle until it is time to go to the range.

No live ammo will be allowed in the classroom during this course.

This is NOT an NRA Basic Pistol  Class.

*Registrations are accepted on a first come first served basis.   Cancellations 48 hours or less prior to class may be subject to forfeiture of the $25 deposit ~ OR ~  the student may reschedule for a future class within 1 year of original class date.

 "No Shows" on class day are subject to the same policy.

Ohio's training requirements were reduced from 12 hours to 8 hours.

  We're teaching classes that exceed the State's minimum requirements. 

Summary Of Gun Law Changes 2014.pdf

This bill enacted substantial changes for firearms owners in the State of Ohio.

~ EFFECTIVE (4/12/15) ~

Ohio and Pennsylvania Reciprocity!!!

Did you know that your Ohio Concealed Carry License is now valid in Pennsylvania?

Category 2: States that have statutory reciprocity under 6106(b)(15) of the Uniform Firearms Act.

The following states have been granted statutory reciprocity without a formal written agreement under 6106(b)(15), based on the determination of the Attorney General that the other state has granted reciprocity to Pennsylvania license holders, and that the other state's laws governing firearms are similar.    

Colorado, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, North Dakota (Effective August 1, 2013 only North Dakota Class I permits are recognized in Category 2), Ohio and Wisconsin.

Effective Nov. 2018, SB 81, which lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to pass earlier this year, waives the concealed-carry license fee for active members of the armed forces and retired and honorably discharged veterans.

Please know, a class still needs to be taken through a certified instructor, unless you have documentation stating previous training that fulfills the requirement as accepted by the County Sheriff.

Thank you to those who have served honorably!

The Salem Hunting Club gave a class that was extremely informative and exceeded all my expectations! When I finished, I felt confident about my abilities to carry a concealed firearm and well informed about all the laws and issues related to carrying a concealed weapon.

I have taken refresher courses many times in the past and re-qualified every year during my pre-retirement but I can honestly say this particular course instructor gave an exceptional class. It was a very full 8 hours but worth every minute! They do a fantastic job teaching the CCW class.
I'm not sure that other instructor’s classes are as comprehensive as the one you teach.

It seems that some promote the “quick and easy” way to carrying a concealed weapon and just cover the required basics to get the certificate.

This mentality can carry sever consequences if they don’t really know and comprehend the laws regarding using this “freedom”.

The law is sometimes vague when it comes to using “deadly force” and then the civil court can destroy someone’s financial stability even if they were right in the use of their rights.

It is a really tight line when you carry a firearm. If you have it you better be ready to use it, and if you use it, you better be ready to have to justify that use to the legal system and in civil court. Your course reinforces this critical responsibility.

I can suggest that anyone considering this course sign up for yours….it may be the difference between living a reasonably comfortable retirement or making a visit to bankruptcy court.

Thank you again Jay and Dave
