LEGAL! Home Study Safety Course to get your CCW

With the 1 July Virginia law change allowing online, electronic, home study etc. firearms safety courses to be used for getting a CCW permit I’m SURE they’ll be bunches of folks jumping on the internet training bandwagon!

I’m sure you’ve seen the online course from a shop in Roanoke VA where you watch a 1 hour video, take a test, then print out your certificate. Hey…it serves the purpose, but there is something about not getting training manuals etc, that you can refer to later that bothers me.

The one U got to check out is www.vaccwtraining.com I know the owner/chief instructor for this home study course and I attended one of his classes he gives locally. He’s been teaching local classes as a NRA instructor for a while now from his own building just outside of Front Royal, VA and also has a small gun shop selling handguns and CCW gear. He’s providing REAL NRA Pistol Student packets to those who register for a home study safety course…something you can keep to use later down the road.

He is passionate about proper NRA training and set up www.vaccwtraining.com to try and get quality information out to those seeking a course that qualifies them for a CCW.

The completion certificate you get is good for both Resident and non-resident Virginia CCW permits.

Looks more like advertising so I put this post in the Marketplace.

This debate is going to go on for years, I fear.

I think everyone should go to http://www.proactiveshooters.com/ and get some hands-on training instead of relying on an online or home-study course.

It scares me a little that there are people out there concealed carrying who have possibly never fired a single shot from a firearm.
