The NRA Basic Pistol class consists of two parts and provides students a Certificate acceptable for application for a Virginia concealed carry permit (CWP). Each part is about 4 hours long.

The classroom session teaches the knowledge, skills and attitudes of firearm mechanics and safety. We teach proper standing positions, how to properly hold the pistol and breathing techniques. The classroom is followed by a live fire qualification course. Classroom sessions are held at Northumberland County Sheriff’s Office.

Following the classroom session, a live fire session is conducted at the Rappahannock Pistol & Rifle Club range. Your registration for part 1 includes part 2 registration.
