This is the course you need to take to get your Michigan Concealed Pistol License. This is the Premier course in the state of Michigan. The Michigan Coalition of Responsible Gun Owners course covers what you need to know for carrying in open spaces, not just what to do in your home, but what to do in the parking lot, in the alley, etc. But we also add in things we teach our other courses that we feel you are going to need to know. Doing our best to help prepare you to prevail in any encounter.
Rental equipment is available through a separate registration link that you will receive after successful course registration. Individuals are still responsible for supplying own ammunition (100 rounds). Course materials will be distributed on the day of class. No experience is necessary.
Class size is limited.
