King CPL Instruction

King CPL Instruction operates out of Scottville and teaches Michigan's required Pistol Safety Training course for Concealed Pistol Licenses. The instructors are Susan McCray-King and Trinity King—a mother and son with extensive firearms training backgrounds.

Trinity is MCRGO Certified Firearms Instructor, NRA Pistol Instructor, NRA Personal Protection In The Home Instructor, and NRA Range Safety Officer. He's trained through USCCA, NRA, and MCRGO programs. His philosophy is straightforward: "everybody is a good shot. They just don't know it yet."

Susan grew up shooting rifles and developed a serious passion for handguns. She's co-leader of Armed Women of America of Mason County MI, holds the same certifications as Trinity, and serves as Chair and President of the Coalition of Responsible Gun Owners.

Their standard CPL class provides 8+ hours of instruction—meeting Michigan's legal requirement of at least 3 hours on the firing range and 5 hours classroom time. The curriculum covers:

• •Safe storage, use, and handling (including child safety)
• •Ammunition knowledge and shooting fundamentals
• •Firearms law, civil liability, and deadly force
• •Criminal attack avoidance and de-escalation
• •Michigan concealed carry laws and regulations

You receive a Certificate of Completion with the instructor's printed name and signature, stating compliance with Michigan PA 372 Section 5j.

King CPL also holds a Federal Firearms License and handles NICS checks and firearm transfers. Cost is $30 per firearm—ship your gun to them, provide tracking, and they'll contact you to complete paperwork at your convenience. They also sell gift cards for classes.
