Basic Handgun Safety Training:
Are you interested in shooting handguns either recreationally or competitively, for home/personal protection or do you own a handgun but are not as comfortable with it as you would like?
This course 3 hour (excludes range time) course will introduce the novice shooter to the knowledge, skills and attitude necessary to own and use a handgun properly and serves as a basis to continue with other handgun shooting activities.
We will cover:
• Handgun safety,
• Revolver/Semi-automatic major components
• Handgun operation
• Types of ammunition
• Fundamentals of pistol shooting (e.g. grip, position, breath control, sight alignment and much more)
• Range commands and range rules
• Cleaning and storage
• Other training opportunities
• And much, much more
This is a hands-on class where the students practice and learn with unloaded handguns and dummy ammunition in the classroom and only once you are comfortable with the firearms will we go to the range to shoot.
The students will shoot a .22 semi automatic, a .38 revolver and a 9mm semi automatic.
For those who are really ready, you can shoot a .44 Magnum. Due to the cost of this ammunition, students must pay for this ammo separately though. All other ammunition is included in your class fee.
The only thing the students are required to bring is the will to learn. Center Of Mass, llc provides all classroom material, handouts, pens, paper, handguns, ammunition, targets, range fees etc.
MN Permit To Carry:
Do you already know how to safely operate a handgun and do you want to apply for your Minnesota permit to carry a firearm?
This course will teach you all the essentials (and more) needed to apply for our MN carry permit, the ins and outs of the new carry law, how to avoid conflict, how to deal with the use or threat of using deadly force as well as the aftermath (both legally and emotionally) thereof and much much more.
Furthermore, this carry course far exceeds the requirements to apply for your carry permit in MN.
We will cover a lot more than is required by the law, e.g. conflict avoidance, selecting a carry gun & holster, how to interact with police, how to properly apply deadly force in self defense or in defense of others and much much more.
Costs: $125 for the course, which includes the book "Everything You Need to Know About (Legally) Carrying a Handgun in Minnesota" written by Joel Rosenberg (a $25 book). Range fee is extra depending on the range being used, however expect about $10 to $15 for range fee. The range fee includes the targets used for the qualifier.
The classroom portion of this course will take about 6 hours depending on the amount of questions and discussions that we will have. There is no rushing this subject and we will take the appropriate amount of time to ensure that all students understand the subject matter.
There will be a shooting qualification at the end of the course in which you must score at least 70%. You must also show that you are capable of safely and properly handling a loaded firearm on the range. E.g. always point the gun in a safe direction, properly load your handgun, keep your finger off the trigger at the appropriate times etc. etc.
This course far exceeds the requirements of the Minnesota Personal Protection Act.
When you take this course you will learn the following:
• Handgun safety
• Conflict avoidance
• The law of use and threat of deadly force
• The legalities of carrying in Minnesota
• Deadly force and its aftermath
• Everyday police encounters
• Choosing a handgun and holster for carry
• The mechanics of everyday carry
• Traveling with a firearm within MN, out of state and by commercial jetliners

• And much, much more
Once issued your carry permit will be valid for 5 years. An extra feature of taking a course with Center Of Mass, LLC is that you can take a refresher course at anytime within those 5 years free of charge! Just contact us to see if there is a class that meets you schedule in which there is still room and you can attend just to refresh your memory on the subject. NOTE: no new certificate will be issued.
There will be several guns on hand to demonstrate the proper safety procedures when handling handguns. There will be a lot of sample holsters and other shooting accessories on hand for you to review and try out.
Prerequisite for this course is to know how to safely and properly operate the handgun that you are using during the shooting qualification. So some handgun experience is required.
We prefer that students provide their own ammunition and firearms. If you do have handgun experience but do not yet own one no problem. With prior notice a 9mm semi-automatic handgun or a .357/.38 revolver can be borrowed from the instructor for use during the shooting qualification.
Targets for the shooting qualification are purchased by the students as part of their range fees.
