California CCW Live-Fire Qualification

This course satisfies the CA California CCW Live-Fire Qualification requirement. Online course must be completed prior to booking the live-fire qualification.  NOTE:  Many individuals coming in for Live-Fire Qualifications are not prepared and DO NOT PASS the qualification.  We will work with you if you are within the passing score to improve your shooting but we WILL NOT pass you just because you signed up and paid for the qualification.  Ensure that you can hit the target at 45' in the scoring area.  Many have not been able to hit the paper at that distance.  Practice BEFORE you sign up.  Have your optic zeroed if you have one.  We WILL NOT set your equipment up for you if you arrive with it not working or zeroed.  Renewals.  There is no excuse for you failing your qualification.

You should be prepared to answer questions on the online class that you took.  We ask these questions to ensure that you actually spent the 8 or 16 hours you are required to watching it.  If you arrive and cannot tell us what you remembered about the course, you will not proceed to qualification.  You will have to gain access to the course again (at no charge) and review it.  Don't say you took the class when all you did it hit play and walk away until that section was completed.  YOU MUST watch it in it's entirety.  It's for your own good.
