Frequent Questions
What if I can't make my class?
Because this is a free course offered through South Carolina and managed through SLED you will need to email cwptraining@sled.sc.gov to cancel your class and reschedule.
When do you offer concealed weapons permit classes?
We offer classes at least monthly in Lexington, Richland, and Calhoun Counties.
Do I need to bring my own gun?
Yes. We do have rental firearms, but we feel that this class is better served for you if you have your own equipment to learn with that. We are also limited on the amount of rentals that we can offer.
I am a beginner, is that ok?
The concealed weapons permit course is not a basic firearms course. There is a need that you understand how to operate and use your firearm when you come to class. We offer private coaching and basic handguns classes just for those that have little to no experience.
What do I need to bring with me?
Your firearm, ammunition, holster, eye and ear protection, pen and paper, food and snacks for the day, and a great attitude to learn a valuable skill.
Do I need to be a South Carolina Resident to take this course?
Yes, you must have a South Carolina Driver's License or Identification Card and/or own real property in South Carolina.
