Do I need to have shooting experience prior to taking a permit to carry class?
The short answer is no. You do not need shooting experience to attend a permit to carry class. However, all students are required by the state of MN to pass a live fire qualification. You will be required to show that you know how to safely handle a gun and that you are able to hit the target. If you are completely new to shooting, we highly recommend taking the Handguns 101 or Handgun Fundamentals class prior to the permit to carry class. If you take an intro class first, you will receive a discount for the permit to carry class.
Do you only teach women?
