AFET CCEQ - Concealed Carry Endorsement Qualification Courses

Let me try to explain some of what sets our CCW classes apart from everyone else. One of the most obvious differences is that we require our CCW students to shoot a qualification course of fire. This may not sound like much but it would be a major benefit if we ever find ourselves in court. Yes, we say ourselves, as we would stand beside you throughout any (criminal or civil) court actions. I testify as an expert witness in shooting cases and charge a fee for this service to people who are NOT my students. This very issue alone could save you in excess of $10,000 if this service were ever needed.

Let’s not forget the curriculum content. Our CCW courses cover so much more information than what is required by the respective states. We want to provide you with the tools necessary to survive on the street as well as in the court room. Our programs cover much more than the minimum required discussion of the state’s CCW laws and firearm safety. Our courses offer very detailed discussions on Firearm Safety and Selection, Ballistic Considerations, the Criminal Mind, Powers of Awareness, Criminal and Civil Liabilities, Shoot - Don’t Shoot Scenarios, Police and Criminal Interaction, and much more.

The presentation on Ballistic Consideration alone is a unique and major component of our training. This section clearly depicts the true effectiveness of the handgun for defense. Based on an over thirty year passion on how bullets cause trauma in human tissue and backed by science and clinically proven facts and without any folk lore or opinion, we explore the many limitations of the handgun for defense. Television and movies are not reality and your understanding of such potentially life altering situations must be grounded in reality.

The Concealed Carry Endorsement Qualification course meets the mandatory training requirement standards set forth by Missouri statute. Special emphasis on firearms safety in and outside of the home, instruction and basic principles of marksmanship, care and cleaning, legal requirements of the state for certification, laws relating to concealed carry and justifiable use of force are included in this course, as well as concealed carry and the defensive mindset, carry modes and handgun concealment, presenting the handgun from concealment and defensive pistol shooting skills.

CCEQ - Concealed Carry Courses
We specialize in concealed-carry firearm classes. Training is offered in the St. Louis metropolitan area and classes are taught for both Missouri and Florida certification. Our instructors provide firearm training to law enforcement as well as civilians. Our instructors are NRA certified.
If you have a group of 10 or more, classes can be arranged any day of the week. Private classes of ten or more are available upon request. This course will help prepare you to legally carry a concealed firearm in public. This is a very enjoyable and informative class. This class exceeds the Missouri requirements for a concealed carry endorsement qualification. It is recommended training if you plan on carrying a handgun. Another good course to take for inexperienced shooters is the NRA Basic Pistol and Home Firearm Safety, which are offered.
Why take a Concealed Carry Class from Advantage? That is a question often asked of our staff. It is a reasonable question as there are many people teaching CCW in our area. Potential students who compare their options based on the course length say “I can go here or there and get the training in 3 hours, why should I spend 8 hours with you?”
