IS A PRIVATE PERSONAL CONCEAL CARRY CLASS FOR YOU? DO YOU WANT TO BE IN A CLASSROOM WITH OTHER PEOPLE YOU DO NOT KNOW HANDLING FIREARMS? DO YOU HAVE A TIGHT SCHEDULE AND CAN’T MAKE ONE OF THESE OPEN CLASSES? DO YOU HAVE A SPOUSE OR FAMILY MEMBER WHO WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE CLASS? HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF GIVING THE CONCEAL CARRY CLASS TO A SPOUSE OR FAMILY MEMBER AS A GIFT? IF YOUR ANSWER IS “PROBABLY NOT” TO THE FIRST QUESTION OR YES TO THE OTHER QUESTIONS, THEN YOU SHOULD CONSIDER A PERSONAL CLASS AT YOUR HOME, OFFICE OR OTHER LOCATION OF YOUR CHOICE AND ON A DATE THAT FITS WITH YOUR SCHEDULE. OR IF YOU ARE GIFT SHOPPING THEN YOU DO NOT NEED TO GO FURTHER, A CONCEAL CARRY CLASS WOULD MAKE A GREAT GIFT. FOR MORE INFORMATION KEEP READING WHAT I HAVE POSTED BELOW AND CHECK OUT THE CONCEAL CARRY CLASS INFORMATION UNDER THE “CLASSES” DROPDOWN. FOR A GIFT, SEND ME AN EMAIL FOR MORE INFORMATION.
Hello and welcome to my website. Take a look at the “Video Page”. This shows me shooting. This is some of what I teach in addition to the NC Conceal Carry and NRA Classes.
Effective May 21, 2018, I only do classes for private groups and persons. I do all of the classes posted on my website upon request for groups or individuals that wish to take these classes privately at a location provided by the group or person. Yes, this means I will come to your home for the Conceal Carry Class as well as most other classes.
This is your opportunity to get some friends, co-workers, relatives or others together for a private training and shooting class, or if you don’t want to take a class with anyone else, the opportunity to take the class in private, one on one.
Be mindful that private classes are going to cost more than a non-private class with ten to thirty strangers in it. If you are looking for a bargain, then you need to look elsewhere. Private classes are for your convenience, they allow you to control who you are in a firearm class with and will make you the center of attention-not one of many strangers.
Please do not call or email me asking about these classes without providing me with the required information as stated below. Do not ask about getting into an existing private class, as they are just that, private and unless you are one of the group I will not put you in the class.
If you are unable to come up with a suitable location for the classroom, I recommend the Bay Leaf Community Center located in North Raleigh. I have taught several classes there. The facility can handle many people and is private. Contact Sandra Ellis, 919-612-3786 for availability.
Basic Firearm Classes
Anyone wishing to take the following classes as a group or privately should email me at ldenney007@gmail.com with their request concerning what class they wish to take, the persons in the group, the location (address) where they plan on having the classroom portion of the training (office conference room, home, office, etc.) and the possible dates they want to take the training. I will then email you back with the cost of the class.
I do not post the prices of my private classes because I get requests to put them on all over the state however you can figure an all day class such as the conceal carry class will cost at least $335.00. The number of people and distance I have to travel has to be figured into the price.
These private classes include:
- NC Conceal Carry Class
- My Basic Pistol Class
- My Basic Pistol Class for conceal carry
- NRA Home Firearm Safety Class

Further, the NRA requires that anyone adding other instructor credentials must re-new their BIT or have taken it within the past two years.

Any live fire shooting will be conducted at an outdoor range I provide. The use of the range will be included in the cost of the class.
Conceal Carry student using his gun in self defense
On 10-20-17 I had a conceal carry student who took my conceal carry class in June, take my Defensive Pistol For Conceal Carry Class. He told me he wanted to advance his defensive shooting skills because just 5 days after he got his conceal carry permit he was mugged. He gave me the following story.
The student, I will identify as MN, was delivering a pizza at about 12:30 am to an address in an apartment complex. The person at the delivery address told him he hadn’t ordered a pizza, which triggered his thoughts that something was wrong. As he was leaving he was attacked by two individuals. He took a defensive posture while backing up as he was being assaulted. He was carrying his small revolver in a “belly band” under his shirt. He pulled up his shirt while backing up and grabbed his revolver. The attackers seeing him going for his gun ran off. MN never had to pull the gun out, which he was grateful for. MN said the police were called and when they arrived treated him very well. They used the phone number for the call in pizza to track the robbers down (pretty stupid on their part).
Virginia and Colorado accept the NC Conceal Carry Class Certificate
I had a resident of Clarksville, VA take my conceal carry class and get the NC State Issued Certificate. He then applied for his Virginia Conceal Carry Permit and provided the NC Certificate from my class. He informed me about 35 days later he got his Virginia Conceal Carry Permit. It appears from what he did, the state of Virginia will honor and take the NC Conceal Carry Certificate for Virginia residents as part of the Virginia application process and issue Virginia residents their Virginia Conceal Carry Permit. I also have had a student who took my conceal carry class, move to Colorado and was informed they would accept the NC State Issued Certificate so he could get his Colorado Conceal Carry Permit.
Self defense does not start with a firearm! It ends with the firearm! LD
