I chose this company to take my Concealed Weapons Class for my Concealed Weapons Permit. They had a…read morespecial under living social and offered it at a good price!
The class is about 3 hours long. The first 45 minutes was getting everyone signed in, paid, vouchers collected, signatures collected, all that stuff. The remainder of the class was all legalities of Florida Concealed Weapons and Firearms. After that, and probably 100 irrelevent questions from your fellow classmates, you will go to a gun range to shoot 5 rounds. You have to pay them $10 to use one of the instructors gun, and pay $12 to be able to use the gun station for 30 seconds.
Overall, the experience I had wasn't bad. The Instructor is obviously ex-military of some sort, and was very lively and did not make the class boring. I am an experienced gun handler, so I know how to handle a gun, but there were some individuals there who had never handled a gun before, and I was suprised that there was no section taught about gun safety.
I was expecting that they would go over the anatomy of a gun, how to empty the firearm and discharge the chamber, how put safety's on and off, how to load the magizine, and all that stuff, but none of that was covered in the class. For experienced firearm holders, that's a good thing because it would be redundant, but for new gun handlers this is essential information.
When you go to do your "qualifier", which means you are at the gun range and have to empty 3 rounds that have to hit the paper target about 10 feet away from you, they put the gun in your hand, tell you how to hold it (or if you are experienced, check to see how you hold it) and tell you to pull the trigger. No loading, unloading, droppign the magazine or anything. So again, if you do not know how a gun works, you probably wont know leaving this class.
Either way, It was enjoyable and a good price, glad I got it out of the way so I can get my CWP :)
