CCW Level 1 is the foundational course for those seeking to carry a concealed firearm responsibly. The focus is on safe handling, the fundamentals of drawing from concealment, and understanding the laws and responsibilities that come with concealed carry. This training is designed to prepare you for both the permit process and the realities of carrying in daily life.

What You Get in Physical Training

Students begin with dry practice to build safe draw-and-holster habits, then progress to live-fire exercises from concealment. Drills cover drawing efficiently, achieving fast and accurate first shots, and performing safe re-holstering. You will also practice reloads and simple malfunction clearances in a concealed carry context. All exercises are conducted under close instructor supervision with a strong emphasis on muzzle discipline and situational awareness.

Practical Skill Development

The course develops confidence in carrying concealed, reinforces firearm safety under real-world conditions, and improves speed and accuracy when engaging a threat. Legal and ethical considerations are discussed to help you understand when carrying and using a firearm may or may not be justified.

Outcome

By the end of CCW Level 1, you will be equipped with the core skills needed to carry a firearm safely and responsibly: drawing from concealment, engaging accurately under time pressure, and making sound, lawful decisions. This course sets the foundation for advanced concealed carry and defensive training.
