How to Become a Conceal Carry Firearms Instructor in North Carolina
How to Become a Conceal Carry Instructor for North Carolina
The first step to becoming a hand gun instructor is to learn firearm safety and handling techniques, if you do not already have experience operating hand guns.
Get an Instructor Certificate
Next, you'll need to find a hand gun instructor certifying authority recognized by the state of North Carolina in which to take your training. North Carolina recognizes a number of certifications. These include a "Specific Instructor Certification-Firearms" issued by the Commission; Private Protective Services Firearms Trainer Certification and a "Firearms Instructor Certification" in Personal Protection, Basic Pistol, or Police Firearms issued by the National Rifle Association.
Contact the NRA or an eligible training organization, if you lack military or law enforcement credentials that your state deems adequate for qualifying you as an instructor. Successfully complete at least one of the approved NRA disciplines, keeping in mind that the more disciplines you complete, the more appealing your resume will look when applying for state approval to operate as an instructor.
Get Your North Carolina Certificate
In addition to your instructor certificate, you will need to complete the course "Laws Governing Concealed Handgun and Use of Deadly Force" offered by the North Carolina Justice Academy and obtain a certificate. To purchase study materials for the course and learn course dates, you can contact the Bookstore at the North Carolina Justice Academy by calling (910) 525-4151.
Upon successful completion of the course, submit your application and fees to the NC Criminal Justice Education and Training Standards Commission.

Post a CommentYes, Tony, Randy is going to like this one.
Lots of training and credentials required. I wonder about liability...should someone get hurt while having instruction.
I may do this in NY/NJ if I stay in the security field. Great info..I was looking for the collaboration w/ Randy on this one ;-)
Interesting, as always!
Really great information here. Is this one of those things that differs greatly by state and county?
