Do you want an Enhanced Concealed Carry class in your town?

If you have 8 or more for the class, a place to hold the classroom, and a place to shoot (anywhere safe will do - I bring a portable target rack)

I will come to you! I will also advertise locally. Contact me for details!  

South Dakota now offers 3 levels of concealed carry permit. White (shall issue), Gold (Bypass ATF Backgournd check) and Blue (Enhanced- honored by more states and bypass TAF backgorund check))

Important Note: For my Enhanced Concealed Carry class I ask that you have some basic handgun skills before signing up for the class. The class is not designed for entry level instruction however we do cover basic handgun opeations and skills, it is not a hands on instruction class. When you get to the range for the shooting qualification it is assumed you can safetly load - fire - and unload your own firearm. Thank you (sign up for an NRA Basic Pistol class or get private instruction) 

         ENHANCED CONCEALED PISTOL PERMIT

NOTICE to consumers*  Beware of Online and out of state training groups

1. To be a certified Enhanced Carry instructor you MUST be a SD resident. To qualify as an instructor you MUST have a valid SD Carry Permit and SD does NOT issue out of state permits. Instructors must also have current NRA Basic Pistol credentials.

A number of outside training groups are soliciting SD Certified Instructors to work for them as part time employees. My advice is simple, as long as you are required to sit through the class, learn some new skills. Many outside instructors simply do the absolute minumum training in the class so you trade money for a permit, and they couldn't care less about you after they take your money. I want you to be the survivor if you are ever involved in a firearm incident and I take that responsibility very seriously.  click here to find out if the instructor is currently certified. 

2. NO online courses have been authorized by the State. The shooting requirement makes online courses impossible.
