Hey all,
Long time lurker here, I'm looking for a CCW class in Columbus. Any affordable options that are also good for a relatively new shooter? Something ~30 mins max from from downtown Columbus. Thank you! |

I would check these guys. I believe they have their own range and don't need to use the Delaware Public Range.

I need a macro for this...
The Ohio CHL mandatory training is a ticket punch, not training. Buy this by price and convenience. Seriously you won't become a steely-eyed gunfighter with this course no matter who teaches it. Insufficient time for one thing. Take the on-line course and arrange for the small range session. The objectives of the course is to explain which end of the barrel the bullets come out and places you can't carry concealed. There are good courses available but they ain't cheap in either time or ammo expenditures. Pistol 1,2, & 3 from TDI Ohio (in Adams County) is a good example of a course where you will actually acquire some skills. Visit their website to see what's required and compare it to the Ohio CHL requirements. This is a three (3) day course! (Their course also meets the CHL requirements.) -- Chuck |

Here's a great place to start that offers further recommended training after the initial CHL course that is state required.

Can anyone suggest an online class + range time course in the Columbus area? I would like to give some classes for Christmas gifts. |
| Thanks for all of the replies, I'm now leaning towards the Armed2Defend class because it looks like I should be able to take it the weekend if Novemeber 19-20 which is what I'm looking for. Unless anyone has a reason not to use them? Also I do plan to look into more training in the future so thanks for the TDI suggestion. |

My recommendation is get your ticket punched ASAP but don't put off real training. Too many think the CHL course "qualifies" them for something. The out-of-state firearms training school I'm affiliated with doesn't provide any sort of certificate for our one-day course 'cuz you're not trained despite most of the day on the range vs 2 hours for the CHL course.

I used them. Nice guys. The instructora who use the Delaware range are squatting on a public resource and should be banned from doing so, or pay for that they commercialize. well since each person pays to be there and use the range then how are they squatting? |

They are a for profit company using the public range for profit. Should not be allowed |

I teach with a group of instructors. We only teach a class once a month (typically). All of the instructors volunteer to keep the costs down. We charge $65 and provide all materials, guns, and ammo.

Do any of the classes offer/allow the online training ? Instead of sitting in class for 8 hours ? The problem with the online training is it takes 6-7 hours to complete and there is still a bunch of requirements for the instructors plus that mandatory 2 hours at the range. This ends up being ~12 hours total for the student. Plus the online, aka blended, training costs $60 plus most training outfits would probably still end up charging the student $60+ to recoup their costs. I am not a fan of the blended training and we don't offer it. |

Recommend the class thought build-a-gun. Range time was at lepd, and class at the build a gun store. Good price, and the instructors were good (all leo's) $120 at Build-A-Gun |
