NJ Permit to Carry


In this 2-3 hour class, I will discuss firearms safety, range safety, EDC mindset, equipment options, drawing from concealment, state laws, and use of force. This course will conclude with the CCARE qualification to satisfy all NJ ADMIN CODE (N.J.A.C. 13:54-2.4) requirements.

Required Course of Fire

This Course will meet the NJSP Civilian Carry Assessment & Range Evaluation (CCARE) Qualification Requirements

Total 50 Rounds: 10 rounds @ 15 yards, 10 rounds @ 10 yards, 10 rounds @ 7 yards, 10 rounds @ 5 yards, 10 rounds @ 3 yards


Each string of fire will be shot from concealment. You will start from a concealed holster, drawing with two hands. FYI IT IS NOT TIMED!

Targets will be the FBI Q targets.

This MUST be performed with a pistol that you legally own.


This is NOT an entry level firearms course. You must score 80% or higher to pass the qualification (CCARE) and will get two attempts. Specific follow up training is available for new shooters struggling to pass the required qualification, or new shooters who require handgun training prior to the class


This will be a pass or fail, and you must pass with an 80% or better.
