Nashville Area Permit/Training Classes

[Garufa]

This could probably go in a couple of different subs but I’m dropping it here.

I have a family member fresh out of college moving to Nashville soon who is keen on buying his first handgun.

Who do y’all recommend for a training class around there?  Maybe who has the best permit carry class?  Those are adequate for most and are generally sufficient, was just wondering if there was something else to consider in the introductory sense. 

I’d like that he starts this journey with more structured tutelage that an Uncle can provide (even though that instruction has been excellent ).

You might wanna check the Dragon Defense Firearms school. I believe today is the last day of their registration in Enhanced Carry class for May 26 at Bass Pro Shops (Opry Mills).

Check with Royal Range.  They host RangeMaster classes and I would think they have RangeMaster trained Instructors

I'll second this.   I would also say that the drive to Murfreesboro for classes with Aq and crew at Citizens Safety Academy is more than worth it.

Thought of Aqil Qudar but was concerned about the drive..but you're right it would be worth it.  Aquil is a Tom Givens/RangeMaster instructor and really has a passion for new shooters.  http://www.citizenssafety.com

Aq and Tiff are really good people. I’ve not taken a class with them yet, but we’ve been students together in classes before.

Has anyone specifically taken the Concealed Carry class at either Royal Range or Citizens Safety Academy?

The two people I mentioned above, Aqil and Tiffany, run Citizens Safe Academy. Absolutely Top Notch. Ive not personally taken the classes at Royal Range, but they have good reputation.

I did the enhanced class with CSA at the Firearms Pharmacy.

 

Great folks and a really good program
