south carolina concealed Wespons Permit class

Considering a Concealed Carry Permit? Here’s why it’s worth it.

While South Carolina no longer requires a permit to carry a firearm, obtaining a Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP) provides invaluable benefits. Most importantly, our class equips you with a thorough understanding of state laws regarding deadly force and self-defense—knowledge that is essential for responsible firearm ownership.

Our comprehensive CWP class goes beyond the basic state requirements. You’ll receive scenario-based training, discussions on real-world use of deadly force, guidance on legal interactions with law enforcement, and instruction on drawing from concealment and proper concealment techniques.

• 5 hours of classroom instruction covering South Carolina statutory and case law related to firearms, restricted carry locations, and how to interact with law enforcement while carrying.
• 1 hour (subject to variation) of hands-on range instruction, ensuring each student can safely operate and handle a handgun.

If this is your first firearm experience, we strongly recommend taking the NRA Basic Pistol Course before enrolling in the South Carolina CWP class or opting for our Enhanced CWP Training for additional skills development.
