Not all concealed carry classes are alike.
Unless specifically stated otherwise, “concealed carry classes” do NOT teach how to handle and use a handgun.
They do NOT teach:
the handling of a handgun
the firing of a handgun
the loading, unloading and reloading of a handgun
how manage handgun malfunfunctions
To learn the techniques listed above, you have to take a handgun/pistol training class.
