You do not need to be an experienced shooter to attend.

Small Classes. More Individual Attention.
Learning to shoot shouldn't feel rushed or intimidating.
DMV CARRY intentionally maintains a low student-to-instructor ratio so students receive more hands-on instruction, individual corrections, and time to develop their skills.
We believe good firearms training should create safe, responsible and confident gun owners — not simply better shooters.
