Course Description: The Colorado Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) or “Colorado CCW” Safety course is intended for those who wish to obtain a Colorado Concealed Handgun Permit “CCW” in the state of Colorado. This is a basic to intermediate course.
This course is not a 3 hour chat and award a certificate course, our firearm instruction is intended to provide you with the most realistic training necessary to safely carry a firearm and defend yourself and your family if necessary.
