Course Description:

Due to popular demand from our students, Armed Missouri's exclusive CCW Level - 2 course was developed over a number of months by our instructors to provide students the opportunity to learn and develop essential skill sets, tactics, and concepts as they relate to the use of a concealed handgun and aspects of personal protection.  This is a one day course which means the pace is accelerated in order to successfully complete all the material.  This course is not for beginners which is why we allow only students who have successfully completed our CCW course and who, as per our evaluation, possess the skills necessary to go on to an intermediate class.  Students who wish to take this class but have not completed Armed Missouri's CCW class should contact us for details on how they can attend.

• Student must have successfully completed a firearms safety course that included actual shooting that would qualify for a concealed carry permit or an NRA Personal Protection In the Home or higher level training course.

• Student must be an experienced shooter that is able to demonstrate a mastery of the basic skills of safe gun handling, shooting a group, zeroing the firearm, and cleaning the firearm.

• The CCW Level 2 – Basic Defensive Handgun course is a one-day, 9-hour (or longer) class that is designed to take the student from the level of a novice handgun user, to one that has a firm grasp of basic defensive shooting techniques and tactics.  This is not an NRA sanctioned course.

• Standard class times are from 8am to 6pm but times may vary.

• The CCW Level 2 – Basic Defensive Handgun course teaches students the knowledge, skills and attitude necessary for avoiding dangerous confrontations and for the safe, effective and responsible use of a concealed pistol for self-defense outside the home.  Beginning with a safety review and moving on in a logical progression, this course will cover:
