Full description and what we offer
Home Front Freedom specializes in firearms education and safety training across North Carolina. Founded by Erik and Lexen, the operation has built a reputation for hands-on instruction that works for everyone from first-time gun handlers to experienced shooters with military backgrounds.
The core offering is the NC Concealed Carry Handgun (CCH) course—the legal requirement for obtaining a concealed carry permit in North Carolina. But they've expanded well beyond that:
"Can't imagine a better Concealed Carry class out there! Outstanding class! Not your typical, follow along in the book ho hum class! Instructors brought excitement and energy to the materials!" - Todd Ogle
Typical CCH courses run 8-10 hours and include: - Classroom instruction on firearm safety, NC concealed carry laws, and defensive mindset - Range time with live fire training - Lunch and snacks provided - Rental firearms available for students who don't own their own - Interactive teaching with visual aids (PowerPoint, real firearms, SIRT pistols, dummy rounds)
Pricing: CCH classes historically offered at $60-$85 per student (including gun rental and ammunition)
Students consistently mention the instructors: - Keep energy high and classes engaging throughout long training days - Teach to the lowest denominator—no one feels left behind - Create a family-friendly environment (no cursing, no talking down to students) - Provide one-on-one attention to students who are nervous or struggling - Mix lecture, hands-on practice, and range shooting
One student who was "literally shaking when she had to hold a gun" reported: "The instructors stayed with me the whole time. While at the range they worked alongside me. Guess what? I actually passed."
Home Front Freedom maintains an active calendar with: - Weekend and weekday classes to accommodate different schedules - Seasonal offerings (fall classes frequently listed) - Early bird pricing discounts for advance registration - Limited seating to maintain class quality
Contact: (252) 515-0855 or check their website for current schedule
Gift Certificates available for firearms training—useful for spouses or family members considering carrying.
Partnership with CCW Safe - Home Front Freedom partners with CCW Safe for post-incident legal support, an important consideration for defensive gun owners.
Home Front Freedom actively shares real-world information with students. They've documented ammunition reliability issues (light strikes with specific brands like Scorpio 9mm), warn about concealed carry permit scams targeting NC residents, and maintain a hurricane preparedness resource page recognizing preparedness as core to their mission.
Classes attract: - Military and law enforcement (including 20+ year Marine Corps shooters) - Complete beginners afraid of guns (successfully converted to confident carriers) - Spouses attending together - Career professionals seeking practical skills - People renewing permits or upgrading from other states
Erik and Lexen are NRA-certified instructors. David also assists with classes. Testimonials note their ability to teach complex material clearly—one retired professor called them "excellent teachers" comparable to university-level instruction.
Location context: Serves coastal North Carolina (Carteret County area noted in content) with expanding statewide reach.
"They absolutely reignited my will to train and research more myself. I will absolutely be back to attend more of their classes in the future!" - Phillip Lannan
