NRA Basic CCW

The NRA CCW Course teaches the basic knowledge, skills and attitude necessary to carry a concealed pistol for personal defense. The course is intended for all individuals regardless of previous shooting experience or NRA-affiliation.

NRA CCW takes place in a traditional classroom and range environment. 

For new shooters, the NRA CCW Course is a great complement to the Texas LTC course, filling in gaps not covered in the LTC curriculum.

Course topics may include the following:

• Firearm Safety (Mandatory)
• Pistol Nomenclature and Selecting a Pistol for Self-Defense
• Basic Defensive Pistol Skills
• Drawing from Concealment
• Loading and Stoppage Remediation
• Mindset
• Carry Modes and Pistol Concealment
• Firearm Cleaning
• Sport Shooting and Training Activities

Course length is determined by the Instructor, and depends on the modules offered.

Additionally, students may complete live fire training and a nationally standardized shooting qualification while on the range with an NRA Certified Instructor.

Students will receive reference books, take a NRA CCW Student Examination and receive a course completion certificate bearing the signature of the NRA Secretary and your NRA Certified Instructor.

NOTE:  NRA Basic Pistol certification is required to attend this course.
