Upstate Concealed Carry

Get educated. Stay legal. Be safe.

Having obtained the privilege to carry a pistol, does not always mean that you are trained.  We believe that having strong skills with a firearm are a necessity to carry one.   Like any other tool, a firearm takes practice, in conjunction with the best weapon you have available...your mind.  

Serving the Anderson/Greenville area, we offer South Carolina Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP) classes, and basic/advanced firearm training.

Our belief is that a person is only as good as their training. Keeping that in mind, our goal is to impart training in such a fashion that is easy to understand and learn. Not only do we instruct Concealed Weapons Classes, but we also offer basic and advanced firearm instruction and tactics.
