Always Choose Quality Firearms Training Over Cost

When your interest in firearms begins, you’ll probably wonder.....How much do lessons cost? 

How much are firearms training courses?
How much does a CCW license cost so I can carry a firearm?  

Price is how most prospective students evaluate Concealed Carry classes when it's the last thing that should be considered. 

For students with no prior training, the goal should be to learn as much as possible about the law and the use of deadly force, and then continue to seek additional training. 

If the difference between a 

two-hour course and a four-hour course is $100, ask yourself this: how much is your life worth if you are in jail for 20 years because you 

didn’t know the law? 

It just does not make sense. 

When a class offers hands-on firearms training, the class should provide you with a good base to BEGIN your training in order to be competent with a firearm.  

 A lack of quality training could cost you your life.   

If you get your driver's license at the age of 16, you have absolutely ZERO percent chance of being capable of racing at Daytona.  

In the firearms world, people actually believe in this type of thing. 

People actually believe that because they practice on an air-conditioned range, shoot at a stationary target with no objects or people between them and the threat, then expect to get the same result in a violent

3 second confrontation, well........that's just not realistic 

Any eligible adult can walk into a gun shop and buy a pistol or revolver, but the wise person will then train with that firearm. Unfortunately, some people who own a firearm, don't even have a range membership.

People can be divided into three categories: Gamblers, dreamers, and warriors.

Gamblers roll the dice and hope they are never attacked.

Dreamers believe the mere act of owning a firearm will by itself protect them.

Warriors invest the time and resources to prepare for the worst day of their lives.

Which one are you?

When looking for an instructor, ask.....how long is the course, and how much hands-on instruction will there be?

Shooting is a perishable skill, meaning it goes away when you don’t use it. A person who last shot a firearm two years ago will not be anywhere near their previous skill. 

A one-and-done course is of no service to you, and no service to the people you may need to help.  

If a class is priced to push as many people through as possible, you will only learn the very, very basics. 

If you're only looking to take the bare-minimum class, so you can squeeze through your qualification to get your NJ Concealed Carry permt, then make the right decision, and just don’t carry.  

I encourage everyone to carry a firearm, but “everyone" means people who are trained, seek constant training and are an asset, not a liability, to themselves and the people around them.
