So my dad and I are debating getting CCW's and I know more than a few of you are instructors. What all is required for the class ie gear, papers, price etc? His will be for Mo, and mine Maine if it matters. I just don't want to be that asshole that shows up unprepared.

It varies from instructor to instructor but in our class, someone can show up with nothing and we will provide everything required
Prices also vary but for a class that includes everything in the St. Louis area, $100 or so is normal. I have seen some advertised for $70 but the fine print says they can supply guns and ammo for an additional fee. |

My classes I supplied everything but lunch, sometimes even that . Best bet is to contact which ever instructor you choose ahead of time and ask.
What area are you in? If your in the Stl area I will personally vouch for RJTCCW, good guy, great class and you might be taller than him. |

I got my CCW several years ago from Greg at STLCCW... STLCCW.com
Really great guy, great class, great lunch, great experience all around. When I went, I brought a pistol, ammo, eyes and ears, along with obviously my wallet, ID, etc. When I got mine, you had to shoot 20 rounds with a semi, and 20 with a revolver. I didn't have a revolver, so I used his. I'm pretty certain that has changed now. RJTCCW is a great guy. Never attended his class, but went to a HTF shoot at his house, and even have a video of him ripping a mag through a full auto Glock. 
If you have a gun, ammo, eyes and ears, bring them. If you don't, call the instructors before hand, and simply ask whether you need a gun, or if they can provide one for you. Each instructor will handle that differently. |

I tell my students to bring eyes and ears (I have extra if they don't) , but I supply drinks, lunch, donuts for breakfast, guns, ammo and my manly good looks, all for the low, low price of 99.99!
But wait! There's Moore! Act now and I will sign your certificate with my FULL name and not Mickey Mouse! Things go smoother at the sheriff's office that way.

According to the first page of the Maine info page on Handgunlaw.us, Maine does not have reciprocity with Missouri. But I can't say that I've investigated Maine too much, just thought I'd make sure that you have. But the way you worded your question, it sounds like you expect a Missouri instructor to provide you with Maine training. It's been a long week, though. I think I need a three course meal: Scotch, Bourbon, Beer.

Your choice. |
