Considering a concealed carry class?

When considering a hotel conducted concealed carry weapons class, call and ask where the State required live-fire training is conducted.

Considering taking a concealed carry weapons class conducted at a local hotel?

Why?

Are you aware that in a hotel conducted concealed carry class:

  • There is no firearm training conducted
  • There is no trip to a range to fire a real handgun
  • The firearm proficiency evaluation involves the firing of ONE paint cartridge at a paper target taped to the hotel room wall
  • A great portion of the class involves the selling of insurance
  • You receive a black and white photocopy of a certificate on which you have to hand print your own name

Take your concealed carry and firearms training only from an established, local training provider. Not from a group that travels the state conducting weekend classes in rented hotel rooms.

Florida law requires that anyone conducting an approved concealed carry weapons training class must witness the student “. . . . discharge of the firearm included live fire using a firearm and ammunition as defined in fs. 790.001; . . . .” Florida Statute 790.06.(2)(h)7

When considering taking a hotel conducted concealed carry weapons class, call and ask where the State required live-fire training is conducted.

If the concealed carry weapons license class conducted in a rented hotel room does not include a trip the the range and involve the firing of a firearm using live ammunition, the training is not valid for applying for a State of Florida concealed carry weapons license.

In-Gauge of Polk County’s concealed carry training is guaranteed to meet the State of Florida’s training requirement for applying for a Florida concealed carry weapons license. Feel free to call us at: 863-206-1996.

In-Gauge of Polk County NEVER conducts online (hybrid) concealed carry training classes in rented hotel rooms.

Beware!

Those conducting hotel concealed carry weapons classes may claim to be certified NRA instructors. Do not be misled! Official NRA firearms and concealed carry classes are never taught in rented hotel rooms or at gun shows.

If you take a concealed carry weapons license class that does not include firing live ammunition from a real firearm, you risk losing your license processing and application fee and having your license revoked, if it is discovered after issuance.

Simulated firing does not qualify as “live-fire” and is not recognized by the State of Florida.
