The NRA Basic Pistol class teaches the basic knowledge, skills, and attitude for owning and operating a pistol safely. Topics include: safe gun handling & storage; ammunition knowledge; fundamentals of pistol shooting; selecting, purchasing, and maintaining a pistol; and continued opportunities for skill development. 

 

Classes are usually held over the course of one 8-hour day. Typically 4-5 hours of that time is spent in the classroom. The remaining time is spent on the range applying skills learned. 

 

This course meets the Mississippi state standards to be able to add Enhanced Carry to current or future Concealed Carry permits.
