People who are thinking about getting a concealed carry permit often have questions.

Are all concealed carry courses exactly the same , well in every state that has them?

Do they allow me to handle firearms so I can see which is best for me?

Does it really matter where I take my concealed carry class?

Are ccw classes in some states better than others?

The problem seems to be that there is no definitive answer to most of these questions but as with most things not everyone who teaches CCW courses will be the same.

While two teachers in the same state may both be able to qualify you which one is the best teacher? Like the teachers at school some will be better than others.

You should take some time to speak to them and find out their level of experience and also see if you mesh with them. If you want to have some hands on time with a variety of pistols then you will need to make sure that the class is held at a firing range rather than in a local restaurant where many ccw classes seem to be held.
