Overview of Classes

This is not a beginner course. Basic handgun skills are required.

If you do not have the experience let us know. We can schedule additional time after the class to get you on target if needed at no additional cost.

If you do not have a handgun we have loaners that you can use for free, the only request is that you pay for the ammunition.    

You must be 21 years old.

The Minnesota Personal Protection Course requirements were set by the Minnesota Legislature in MN 624.714, Subd. 2a. The state requirements are the minimum requirements for a carry permit in Minnesota. At A.F.T.E.R. MN, additional training is covered to enhance the learning experience through classroom and practical hands on exercises.

To register look on the "UPCOMING CLASSES" scheduled dates then go to the registration page and sign up. There is also the "Online Conceal Carry Class" for the renewal and more experienced shooter.

The price of the Conceal Carry class is $95.00.
 

This includes targets, ear and eye protection, class material, range fees, use of a firearm if needed (ammunition not included).

 These are live classes and will be posted on this website for the location date and times.
