Concealed Carry Nola

Concealed Carry NOLA is run by Lead Instructor Dave Newman (LSP #530, NRA #178230429), offering firearms training specifically designed to meet Louisiana's requirements for concealed handgun permits. Classes are held at Jefferson Indoor Range, 6719 Airline Drive, Suite B, Metairie, LA 70003 on the second floor.

• •Bore sight lasers before live fire. Instead of throwing students straight into range time, Newman uses bore sight lasers to teach proper trigger control and fundamentals in the classroom first. This means safer, more confident shooters when live rounds are downrange.

• •Big-screen classroom instruction. All classroom work projects onto large screens using PowerPoint presentations, DVD clips, and printed handouts. Visual learning for everyone—not squinting at a whiteboard.

• •All skill levels. From people who've never touched a gun to shooters looking for specific certifications, classes are designed to fit wherever you are.

The concealed handgun permit course is the cornerstone. It runs as either:

• •Two-evening format: 5-7 PM on consecutive nights, then 1-2 hours of range training
• •Saturday all-day: Usually 10 AM, everything in one session

Classes are held regularly throughout the month. Minimum 3 registrants required—walk-ups welcome if a class is already running, but single registrations may result in cancellation with 24 hours notice. Online registration required to guarantee your seat.

Optional add-ons: - Notary service: $30 (for all three affidavits) - Fingerprints (day of class): $45 - Digital fingerprints through AKI Services: $30 - Digital fingerprints through Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office: $57.50

The Louisiana CHP is valid in 38 states and includes everything from the NRA Basic Pistol course PLUS the use-of-force information Louisiana law requires.

Dave Newman holds these certifications: - NRA Certified Basic Pistol Instructor - NRA Certified Basic Rifle Instructor - NRA Certified Personal Protection Inside The Home - NRA Certified Personal Protection Outside The Home - NRA Certified Refuse To Be A Victim - NRA Certified Chief Range Safety Officer - NRA First Steps Pistol Instructor - Louisiana State Police Instructor (#530)

All instructors are properly insured.

"Dedicated to teaching Knowledge, Skills & Attitude." That's not just a tagline—it shows up in course design. Classes cover:

• •How firearms actually work (parts, function, operation)
• •Safety fundamentals (NRA rules of safe gun handling, storage, range procedures)
• •Ammunition knowledge (components, types, malfunctions, proper identification)
• •Shooting fundamentals (grip, stance, sight picture, trigger control)
• •Maintenance (cleaning, storage, care)
• •Legal context (Louisiana-specific use-of-force laws for CHP students)

Range work uses benchrest positions first, then moves to standing shooting positions as proficiency develops. Classroom material is always tied to what you'll actually need to do safely.

Every course can be brought to your home, office, or organization. Private instruction by the hour is $40 for the first person, $15 for each additional—useful for remedial work, advanced shooting, or one-on-one confidence building.

Home security inspections and firearm appraisal services are also available for those needing written documentation for insurance purposes.

Newman's classes meet the legal training requirement. After class, you'll apply through Louisiana State Police (online or in-person):
