PISTOL RANGE CLOSED
Whether it’s a compact pistol or a classic wheel gun, millions of Americans rely on handguns for home defense and concealed carry. Revolver or semi-auto — doesn’t matter. If it’s your tool, you’d better know how to run it right. At Patriot Training, we’ll teach you how to handle your handgun with confidence, control, and purpose.
Completion of Handgun Basics will fulfill training requirements for the Tennessee Concealed Carry Permit.
