This class is a state-mandated 5 hours classroom and 3 hours range course. Students will need a semi-automatic firearm with at least 2 magazines and a minimum of 50 rounds of ammunition. 100 rounds is recommended in case you do not pass the qualification the first attempt. Revolvers are permitted but not recommended. If a revolver is used, a speed loader will be required, and your instructor must be notified. Class begins promptly at 8:00am. After booking you will receive a contact email from Tactical Consultants and how to prepare for your training day. PISTOLS are available for rent and ammunition for purchase. Be aware this class is not designed to make you a proficient marksman with a handgun. Tactical Consultants will hold their clients to much higher standards. Students will typically shoot more and receive additional coaching on developing their skills in our CPL class over other gun shops. However, it’s paramount that students follow up with additional handgun training immediately following a CPL class with Tactical Consultants.

What Our Client Say
Damon brings real world experience and passion about the right to be your own first responder into the classroom. Today, with the state of our world it is especially important to be ready to successfully evade a potentially dangerous situation or defend yourself when necessary. This course was not merely about carrying a firearm. It also brought awareness to the responsibility of carrying and being aware of your surroundings. I feel more empowered as a woman after taking this course and look forward to future training with Damon. Thank you for continuing to teach beyond serving in a full career as law enforcement.
Former Student
Damon was an absolutely excellent instructor. He applied the rules and regulations of different weapons to real life situations and how each law would be applicable. Overall I am extremely happy with my experience and have learned an incredible amount about gun safety.

Damon Smith was a tremendous instructor for the class and was very knowledgeable and down to earth during our training session. Would recommend his class to anyone interested in obtaining their concealed carry license.

Damon is the best! Very professional, very knowledgeable and he’s a sharp shooter. But he was very thorough with his presentation. It was very much appreciated.
Anthony W.
Extremely thorough, knowledgeable instructor. Hands on, and takes time to individually work with clients and address any questions or concerns that arise in training. It’s clear that this is Damon’s passion. The cumulative law enforcement experience that Damon has provides an invaluable training experience and edge over other CPL courses. Highly recommended!
