Good Guys with Guns

Good Guys With Guns handles concealed carry certification and handgun training the way it should be done—focused on North Carolina law, real-world safety, and building actual competence with a firearm.

The instructor holds NCDOJ, USCCA, and NRA certifications. That's not resume padding—it means the instruction you get covers exactly what North Carolina law requires, plus the fundamentals that prevent accidents.

This is the 8-hour state-approved course you need to apply for your CCH permit. It covers:

• •NC Firearms Laws – Where you can and cannot legally carry, deadly force statutes
• •Handgun Safety – Safe handling, storage, carrying practices
• •Fundamentals of Shooting – Proper stance, grip, aiming, trigger control, follow-through
• •Conflict Avoidance & Awareness – Threat recognition and de-escalation

You'll shoot at least 50 rounds during the qualification portion. If you don't own a gun, rent one (a .22 caliber handgun) for $25—ammo is included. Otherwise bring any handgun and ammunition you prefer.

A 4-hour option ideal for beginners or anyone sharpening their skills. Covers the same shooting mechanics as the concealed carry class—grip, stance, sight alignment, trigger control—plus malfunction clearing and basic cleaning/disassembly. Mix of classroom and live-fire range time.

Take this before your concealed carry class to build confidence, or after to reinforce what you learned.

One-on-one instruction customized to your goals. Whether you're a first-time shooter, uncomfortable with your new carry gun, or focusing on home-defense scenarios, the instructor tailors the session to what you actually need.
