Student Requirements:
For Initial CCW Course…
Student must have:
· a semi-automatic or revolver (minimum caliber .380 pistol or 38-special revolver).
Note: The weapon needs to ‘fit’ the student and the student must be able to operate the weapon in safe and effective manner so as to be able to qualify with the weapon at the end of the course. Citizen Defense policy requires students to ‘qualify’ (successfully complete the State of Ohio qualification course) with the weapon they plan to conceal carry. If the student plans to carry more than one weapon, the student will have opportunity to qualify with those weapon(s) at the end of the range day and it will become part of the student’s records in our files. Additional cost may apply. The weapon must be fully functional and operational for safe use. Please ensure the weapon has been properly cared for and is within specification with manufacturer requirements or guidelines. The student may consider having a certified gunsmith evaluate the weapon prior to coming to class.

Students are responsible for ensuring the weapon is in safe, fully operational and safe condition and functional before class or training begins.
