Conceal Carry Training Offered
Here is a special offer for greatly reduced costs for CONCEAL CARRY training classes.
Rick Kilton is an experienced NRA Certified Firearms Instructor, teaching Concealed Carry and other firearms classes like NRA Basic Pistol.
The Concealed Carry class is 4 hours of classroom instruction with no live fire included. At the end of the class the students will receive a Certificate of Completion signed by a Certified NRA Firearms Instructor (required) that would be used to apply for the Concealed Carry permit at the local Sheriff's office, along with the application and proper fees.
The typical fee for this class is $75 but will be only $50 per person for TRR members, family, and friends. The class is held in Rick's home in Berthoud. Class times and dates are established based on the student desires and schedules. He would request at least 2 students per class, there is no maximum class size. Students do not need to own a gun to take this class. Rick uses various firearms to illustrate types of guns used in Concealed Carry. Students who own a gun may bring the gun to class for "Show and Tell' but all ammo must be left in the car. This class is very useful in starting to choose a Concealed Carry gun.
Colorado Concealed Carry Classes
Rick Kilton provides Concealed Handgun training to residents of Colorado. Classes are intended for new conceal carry applicants or to give current conceal carry holders the training they need to keep up with Colorado's firearm and deadly force laws. Class times are typically 4-5 hours and taught by this NRA Certified Instructor.
