Instruction ranges from beginner handgun safety and concealed carry qualification to advanced tactical movement and defensive rifle courses. Class formats vary widely, with options for private one-on-one coaching, women-only groups, or full-day group workshops. Choosing the right provider depends on whether ammo and rentals are included in the fee or if you need to bring your own gear.

Good to know
Do I need to own a gun to take an introductory class?
Most beginner courses provide rental firearms and safety gear as part of the registration fee. You will usually just need to buy the appropriate ammunition at the facility or pay a small add-on fee for a student package.
How long does a concealed carry permit class take?
Class duration depends on state requirements, but most introductory qualification courses run between four and eight hours. They typically combine classroom instruction on local laws with a brief live-fire qualification on the range.
How much do firearm training classes typically cost?
Basic safety and state permit classes often cost between $75 and $150. Multi-day or specialized tactical courses generally run from $200 to $500 or more, excluding the cost of ammunition.
Can a felon go to a gun range?
Under federal law and state regulations in Colorado, convicted felons are generally prohibited from possessing or handling firearms and ammunition. Violating these laws at a shooting range can result in severe federal or state legal penalties. You can review safety guidelines and operational rules across 32 venues listed on RangeAtlas in Colorado.
How much is a concealed weapons permit?
The cost of a concealed weapons permit varies, usually ranging from forty to one hundred fifty dollars for state application fees plus background check processing.
