My 8 hour class teaches you to safely use a handgun and certifies you to obtain your TN.permit Southern Shot and Steel has taught thousands of civilians, military and law enforcement how to safely and effectively handle firearms and obtain their TN Handgun Carry Permits. My class scheduling is flexible to meet your needs and I have scheduled classes on weekends and weekdays. My classes are kept
small to give you more individual attention in the classroom and on the range. My Tennessee Handgun Permit classes will teach you in 8 hours what you need to know to safely, effectively, and legally carry your handgun for the protection of yourself and your loved ones. Even if you never intend to carry a handgun or obtain a permit you will still benefit by learning how to safely and effectively handle a handgun. The Handgun Safety Course is divided into two 4 hour blocks. The class begins with learning the two basic types of handguns, revolvers and semiautomatics. You will learn the nomenclature of each type of handgun and how each functions, how to load and unload them, their strengths and weaknesses. After the familiarization of the types of handguns we will move to the safety aspects of handling a handgun. In the same block of instruction you will learn how to clean your firearm efficiently and safely. Proper storage will also be covered. The next block of instruction will be the legal aspects of carrying your firearm with your Tennessee Handgun Permit. You will learn the most recent laws concerning permit holders and your responsibilities as a Tennessee Handgun Permit holder. You will also learn where you can and cannot legally carry your firearm. Your next four hour block will consist of range familiarization and range commands. You will learn the different types of holsters and carrying methods. You will also learn the proper grip and stance for shooting your handgun and the basic marksmanship principles. After learning the basic marksmanship principles and putting them into practice, we will proceed with live fire. You will fire from the three, seven, and fifteen yard lines. You must score a 70% on the range, if you don't do so on your first attempt, you will allowed to requaiilify again. After the range qualification, we will take the written portion of the test. Upon successful completion on the range and the written test, you will receive your certificate. The Cost: $60
