Harrison Precision in Cornelius, NC offers a range of firearms training designed for new and experienced shooters alike. Their Intro to Handgun and Handgun 101 courses provide hands-on instruction in safe handgun handling, basic operation, and marksmanship fundamentals in a relaxed, supportive environment, making them ideal for beginners looking to build confidence and skills. The NC Concealed Carry Class includes the state-mandated classroom instruction on safety, laws, and use-of-force principles, plus a live-fire proficiency portion to help students qualify for their North Carolina concealed carry permit. In addition to these core offerings, Harrison Precision also features Specialty-Themed Training options and private sessions tailored to specific interests and skill levels, helping shooters continue to grow beyond the basics.
The NC concealed carry class has at least 8 hours of in class instruction and a written test. In addition, there is a live fire portion where you will have to demonstrate proficiency with a handgun. During the classroom portion your instructor will teach you basic gun safety rules. You will learn how to handle and clean a gun safely.
There are two main types of handguns, revolvers and semi-automatics. Your instructor will teach you the differences and can help you determine the best type to carry. Range safety and rules will be taught before the live fire portion.
The most important part of the NC concealed carry class is the discussion of firearm laws and use of force laws. You need to understand when you are justified to shoot and when you must try to de-escalate the situation. Pay special attention to this section because your life depends on it. In some states a person who has committed a justified shooting can also be sued for civil penalties by the perpetrator. Or you could be sued by an innocent bystander that was hurt in the shooting.
Most instructors will require you to bring at least 50 rounds of ammo for the live fire portion. You will be required to shoot from distances of 3, 5, and 7 yards. This is not difficult to do and any good instructor will work with you until you get it right.

For gun owners, responsible firearm ownership goes hand in hand with understanding the legal responsibilities that come with self-defense.
In high-stress situations, even justified actions can lead to complex legal challenges. Having a strong legal defense ensures that your rights are protected, that every detail of your case is handled with expertise, and that you have the guidance needed to navigate the criminal justice system. Good legal representation isn’t just about defending your actions—it’s about peace of mind, knowing that you are prepared to protect yourself legally as well as physically.
