LEVEL ONE: BASIC PISTOL & CCW PERMIT

Regarding House Bill 24-1174, which took effect July 1, 2025: We were verified in Arapahoe CO, and our instruction is accepted for concealed permits in ALL Colorado counties. Instructors only get verified by one county, therefore they do not show on other counties lists of verified instructors, yet instructors are verified in the entire state once verified in any county. Counties are only listing the instructors they verified themselves, which is creating confusion. In short, when a county gets a certificate from an instructor not verified in their county, they simply check with the county that verified the instructor to ensure they are in fact verified.

Our basic handgun concealed carry class in Colorado is perfect for both semi-auto pistols and revolvers. We offer the most in-depth program available. Our firearms instructors have extensive police and military backgrounds, who can offer a working knowledge of legal concerns; such as what to do if you’re contacted by the police when you’re armed, or if you use deadly force in self defense. Additionally, our police officers were full-time police academy instructors who have extensive teaching experience.

Regarding permit recertifications: The new bill requires two hours of range time with a shooting qualification. This creates two challenges for us: Firstly, running a two hour class is not feasible for us. Secondly, we have found we cover far more than other permit courses, and people come to us grossly overestimating their abilities. Sadly, they have not been taught what we consider the basics. Therefore, what we are offering is this: if people attend our level 1 handgun/permit class to recertify, they can attend at a $50 discount, ($150), and they will be done early in around 5.5 hours. In level 1 we cover: marksmanship drills, combat reloads, type 1 and 2 malfunctions, one handed shooting, and close quarters shooting.
