Wondering what to expect in class, or what you need to bring? You’ll find that information here.
REQUIREMENTS
What do I need to know BEFORE signing up?
We use the requirements to obtain the PERMIT for attending our class. This means you must be:
- At least 21 years of age
- A Kentucky resident for at least six months
- Be legally able to possess a handgun
Items you will need to bring to class:
- Handgun in proper working condition
- 50 rounds of factory-loaded ammunition
- Cleaning kit/materials
- Eye & ear protection
COMMON QUESTIONS
What if I do not yet have a handgun, or my handgun doesn’t pass the inspection?
This is usually not a problem. If available, you may borrow one from us.
I’ve heard other instructors will not let a person take the course with a .22 caliber handgun. Is this true?
There is no reason to prevent you from using a .22. We DO NOT recommend it, as you should be testing with a caliber that is better suited to personal defense but this does NOT automatically rule it out.
Again, you MAY take the class with a .22 but we do NOT recommend it. The ideal situation is to test using the handgun you intend to carry.
What type of ammunition do I need to bring? Do I need to use hollowpoints?
No, FMJ (full metal jacket) is fine, even uncoated lead (for a revolver) is OK. Remember not to use non-jacketed lead if you’re shooting a Glock.
