Frequently Asked Questions???

I am a beginner, can I take the CCW/CPL course?

Yes you can. Our instruction is designed to accommodate the beginning student as well

as the advanced student. New students should take advantage of our free private lesson. With your paid class tuition, you can use the free lesson before the CCW/CPL class or receive a voucher to use toward future classes with ATHG Tactical, LLC at a later date. If you have a good comfort level in in marksmanship and pistol manipulation you would be better served by taking the voucher and getting some more advanced training. Taking the lesson before the class will allow the beginning student to learn safe gun handling skills, basic operation and maintenance, and basic shooting skills prior to taking the class. Historically, beginning students that take the free private lesson prior to the class perform very well in the class.

I don't have my own firearm. Can I still take the class?

Yes. If you don't have your own firearm, we can make one available for you. This will also give you the opportunity to try something before you buy it. We have a wide variety of pistols and action types available.

When I took my CCW/CPL class, I didn't learn very much about actually carrying a

concealed pistol and drawing from a holder. Where can I learn this information?

ATHG Tactical, LLC offers a series of Advanced Pistol courses for the CCW/CPL holder that goes beyond the basic CCW/CPL class. Click here for more information regarding these courses.

I want to purchase a pistol. Do I need a Concealed Pistol License to do this?
