    • Will provide you with instruction on state laws pertaining to the ownership, purchase and use of firearms

NRA firearms training is never taught in rented hotel rooms, at gun shows and rarely at gun shops, even those that have their own indoor range.

Classes conducted in a rented hotel room or at a gun show

Such classes are conducted by out-of-town vendors, that in most instances, do not have a local address, do not have a local license, do not have a local reputation, carry little to no insurance and have no way of getting in contact with them if there is a problem with your paperwork.

Question: Would buy a used car from a traveling auto dealer who sets up a weekend sale in a local department store parking lot?

Just because someone claims to be an NRA instructor does not mean he or she is conducting an NRA training class.

NRA instructors, who conduct NRA training classes are proud to wear official NRA clothing, displaying the NRA instructor logo.

If the instructor teaching your class is not wearing or displaying the official NRA instructor logo, not promoting NRA firearms training classes and NRA memberships, and

he or she is more interested in selling you T-shirts, mugs and bumper stickers, you are NOT attending official NRA training.

Beyond A ‘Concealed Carry’ Class

When it comes to concealed carry firearms training, getting the highest quality training is paramount. Well, there are two types of training classes: the large, static lecture class and hands-on, interactive practical class.

You must decide if you want to sit in a class with 40-50 other people, where the instructor lectures to the group using a static slide presentation or . .

All of In-Gauge of Polk County’s concealed carry classes are small and interactive, that provide hands-on instruction. Our classes train the participant in the knowledge, skills and attitude for safe and responsible firearm ownership and use.
