Concealed carry classes

[Top Dawg]

Anyone have any info on when/where upcoming classes. And also price. I've been putting it off too long.

[jchief]

I am interested also.

[cmcnabb]

Hunter Supply in Common Street does them. I'm not 100% sure but I think its around $150. I would just call them and ask

[weedeater]

I want to go, there's a guy in Moss Bluff that will do a class or a Cop in Dequincy

[Super Spook]

I think they have one the 3rd Thursday of every month. Not 100% sure, but I think that is what Todd told me.

I think the pistol range next to lagrange in lc offers em quite a bit, i need to as well i missed one they had some time ago its like a two day fri evening course and sat at the range....bring the gun thats easy to shoot, you shoot around 100 rounds on sat if im not mistaken....

Vata Group in Covington. They have several different classes on their website. I have not taken one with them yet, but hope to in the future. These guys look to be to notch.

There is also Estrada Tactical in Lafayette that does classes. I will be taking it through him on the 25th. We had about 10-15 people sign up with him and he's coming to our location to do the class!

I'm interested in going to one too, I think there's one on Lafayette that does everything (background, fingerprint, class) in one Saturday. That would be money.

I understand the class is $135-$150, but what additional expense should one expect for the "government" side of things? Basically how much does it cost all together to legally walk around packin?

If you guys would please consider him, I would appreciate it:

Ricky Benoit
337-821-7775

Ricky is one of the owners of B&T Firearms Training in Jennings. He is a full time Jennings Police officer (supervisor) and does this as supplemental income.

He has a class 8/25/12 in Jennings and I think his class is $125, but you need to confirm. I sent my wife through his class and he is a very good instructor. I have to go through him for my certifications since he is our gun guy and always end up learning something new from him.

If someone wants to get a class together maybe we can get enuff interest for a private from one of these guys

[jrisen]

I took mine at Hunters Supply on kirkman. It was $125 for the class and then the license is $125. It's $175 if you haven't been a Louisiana resident for 15 consecutive years. There's an application packet on the Louisiana State police website that you have to fill out. You'll need a passport type photo and fingerprints. All the instructions are in the packet. You'll also have to have a few documents notarized.

Whatever the class cost plus, the cost of the passport photo...did my own, the cost of the fingerprinting..$10.00, and $125.00 for a five year permit.

When I first took the class several year ago I mailed all the stuff in. MONTHS later got a letter saying something was wrong with my fingerprints. Well before I could get it all taken care of the time frame for the class had lapses. A buddy of mime drove to BR to do it all and had his perment in just over 30 days. Might be something to think about for those of who who plan on taking it.

[weedeater]

If you use the Cop in Dequincy he helps you fill it all out and takes care of fingerprints in order to help with red tape

FYI!

Or just get an out of state Florida concealed carry permit. Cost somewhere around $125 if I remember correct. All u need is hunters ed card passport photo, and fingerprints. No classroom. And its good in LA.
