Falcon Investigative Services

Falcon Investigative Services trains shooters for concealed carry permits and personal defense in Wooster and surrounding areas. Their instructors are NRA certified professionals who use hands-on training and real-world scenarios instead of lecture-only approaches.

• •What you need to know about Ohio CCW: Ohio's Constitutional Carry Law (effective June 2022) eliminated the mandatory permit requirement for adults 21+. But reciprocity matters. If you cross state lines into a state that doesn't recognize Ohio's permit, you're carrying illegally without one. That's why Falcon recommends getting certified anyway.

Their CCW classes cover: - Working functions of pistols - Ohio self-defense laws - Practical handling and safety - Hands-on firearm demonstrations - Real-world scenario training

Cost: $135 plus tax

Discounts available: - NRA members (10% off with membership #) - Husband and wife (same class) - Government employees with ID - Current or retired law enforcement - Active or retired military (honorable discharge) - Seniors 55+ - Corporations (5 or more students) - College students with ID - Dunham's Sports vendors (with receipt)

Falcon added this 4-hour classroom course in response to Constitutional Carry. No range time required. You'll learn firearm safety, function, and Ohio's updated laws in a controlled setting.

Cost: $45 per student (workbook included)

Schedule: Classes run 8 a.m.–12 p.m. or 5 p.m.–9 p.m. to fit working schedules
