I would like to take a minute and introduce myself.  My name is Dave and my family recently moved to Tennessee from South Florida where I have a 30-year background in Law Enforcement. I have been a member of the NRA my whole adult life and am an avid hunter and gun enthusiast.  I do practice what I preach, I have been carrying a gun since the age of 19 and now my wife and children do as well.  I am a Tennessee State and NRA Certified Instructor.  Shooting and safety is more than a hobby for me, everyone needs to know how to protect themselves and their loved ones. 

This is the DVS Tactical Certified Tennessee State Enhanced Handgun Carry Permit Course that certifies you to legally carry a handgun in Tennessee and the 37 states that recognize TN Carry Permit Reciprocity. 

Without it, you cannot carry outside of TN.

• During this 8 hour class we will cover: 
• Tennessee Law: Use of force, gun laws, self-defense, where you can and cannot carry and other important information.
•  Handgun Safety and Fundamentals: You will learn how to safely handle a firearm as well as stance, grip, sight alignment, sight picture, trigger press and much more.
•  During the class, I will share some personal experiences from my time in Law Enforcement. 
• Remember, there are no stupid questions, someone else may be thinking it but not asking as well.  If you have any doubts or concerns, please ask. I encourage questions and want everyone to feel comfortable and confident.  Safety is key on the range! 

• The cost of this class is $65. YOU WILL NEED to bring a handgun of your choice, 50 rounds of ammunition, eye and ear protection.  Targets will be provided. 
•  You do not need any previous handgun experience.    
• Passing requirements are a written examination of 50 multiple choice questions with a score of 70%. 
• Fire range qualification at the conclusion of class will consist of 50 rounds fired at a B29 Target with a score of at least 70%.
