The Livermore CCW training is designed to provide the student with an understanding of the attitude, skills, and knowledge necessary to prepare them for the unexpected encounter for which they might find themselves. This firearms course was designed for the beginner to advanced shooter who is looking to gain their Livermore Conceal Carry license.

The following topics will be covered in the CCW class, but this is not a comprehensive list as we do our best to tailor the class topics to the needs of the given audience participants.

• Laws concerning firearms possession, storage, etc.
• Firearm safety rules
• Fundamentals of shooting
• Loading and unloading procedures
• Clearing stoppages
• Firearm and holster selection
• Firearms qualification course

This is not a beginner’s pistol class.  It is expected you are proficient in the use of your firearm.  Attendance of this CCW class alone does not guarantee successful passing of the class.  If you need a beginner pistol class please let us know and we can schedule something with you before you attend this class.
