RRR Firearms Instruction

RRR Firearms Instruction specializes in Alaska concealed handgun permit courses and defensive pistol training. Their core offering is a 12-hour certification class that satisfies Alaska's legal requirements while going beyond the basics.

The Alaska Concealed Handgun Permit Course runs 1.5 days (Friday 6–10 PM and Saturday 8 AM–4 PM). Rather than just teaching marksmanship, instruction covers:

• •Gun handling safety and secure storage
• •Mental preparation and situational awareness
• •Psychological and physiological reactions to critical incidents
• •Home security, emergency plans, and safe room setup
• •Pistol selection for self-defense
• •Firearms law presented by an attorney (Castle doctrine, use of lethal force)
• •Legal and emotional aftermath of defensive shooting
• •Holster selection and concealed carry options
• •What to do and say (and not say) after an incident

• •Range qualification: 7 out of 10 shots at 7 yards, then 6 out of 10 at 15 yards with a silhouette target.

• •Handgun (.380 or larger, fired at least 50 rounds within 30 days)
• •100 rounds of factory ammunition
• •2 magazines or speed loaders
• •Eye and ear protection
• •Range-appropriate clothing (long pants, closed-toe shoes)
• •Brimmed hat

• •Note: No live ammunition in the classroom.

• •Basic Handgun Course (for beginners)
• •Advanced Concealed Carry & Tactics Range Lab
• •Active Shooter Response (ALICE Training)
• •Security consulting for churches and nonprofits

After course completion, you'll need fingerprinting ($35) and submit an Alaska Concealed Handgun Permit application ($88.25 state fee). The instructor lists fingerprinting services and provides reciprocity information for other states.

Class size is limited and fills fast. Registration opens when you pay the course fee.
