Douglas Firearms Training

Michael Douglas started this training operation in 2017 after getting his instructor certification. Based near Albany, Ohio, he focuses on one thing: getting people properly trained and certified for concealed carry.

• •Classroom (6 hours): Covers Ohio's concealed handgun guidelines and marksmanship fundamentals—what you legally need to know.

• •Range Time (2 hours): You demonstrate proficiency with your handgun. That means loading, unloading, and actually hitting what you're aiming at.

• •Cost: $150 flat. $50 deposit to hold your spot, final $100 due on class day.

• •A handgun with 50 rounds
• •Eye and ear protection (Douglas provides if you don't have them)
• •A good attitude

Not a gun owner yet? Douglas rents pistols for a small fee—just bring your own ammunition.

Classes run at various locations, with final details sent via text closer to the date. Regular group classes happen regularly (including sessions at Bridgeport Equipment in Gallipolis, Ohio). If you'd rather train with friends and family, Douglas offers private classes too.
