Laramie County Community College

The goal of this course is to develop the students' basic knowledge, skills and attitude essential to the safe and efficient use of a handgun for protection of self and family. The course will also provide information on the law-abiding citizen's right to self-defense. Students must provide their own .38 caliber or larger (non-magnum) center-fire handguns and 200 rounds of ammunition. Ammunition must be factory-loaded, full metal jacket design (no reloads). Continued participation in this class will require a student to demonstrate safe handling skills and complete a shooting proficiency evaluation with his/her handgun during the first-class session. Students must present proof of participation (a signed certificate of completion) in either the LCCC/LCSD Basic Pistol Course or the NRA Basic Pistol Course on the first night of class. Any firearms brought to the course will be unloaded prior to entering the LCSD Building. Ammunition and firearms must be carried in separate containers. In order to participate in this course, participants must pass a criminal background check run by the Sheriff's Department. Students must be law-abiding residents of the United States, 21 years of age or older and agree to adhere to the LCCC student code of conduct while attending class.
