Frequently asked questions:
You will need a pistol, ammunition, hearing protection, eye protection (if you need to wear glasses, that will do), and a good attitude.
We can provide what you are missing.
To pass, you will be required to shoot 11 out of 20 shots in a man-sized silhouette target at 7 yards.
There is no requirement for the pistol that you use other than it must be safe to use (at the discretion of the instructor). Any caliber is permissible (even a .22). The instructor(s) will help you and offer suggestions if you are having trouble with your pistol. You can even shoot a pistol from our Range Rental Counter if you need one (must purchase ammunition from the store to use our Range Rental Guns).
Yes. Sharing a pistol is not a problem. Although we wouldn’t suggest an entire class share the same pistol!
The law(s) concerning CCDW training classes changed to include classes other than those created by the Department of Criminal Justice Training (DOCJT), which is a minimum 6 hour class plus range time. Our class is approved through the Kentucky State Police (KSP) to be at least 4 hours plus range time and fulfill requirements found in the KRS (Kentucky Revised Statutes – KRS 237.110). In a DOCJT class, you go through the legal portion of the KRS. Our class does not cover the KRS legal portion. Both classes are KSP approved and you get the same CCDW Permit.
You should plan for at least 4 1/2 to 5 hours total.
Senate Bill 150 allows a firearm to be carried concealed anywhere it is legal to do so within the state of Kentucky without a permit. We suggest you read the Kentucky Legal Handout.
This does not apply to carrying concealed into another state. You must still have a KY CCDW Permit for other states that recognize and accept it to carry concealed in those states.
