Private Handgun Training in Broward County

Taught by John Corley | Retired South Florida Police Officer, U.S. Marine Corps Veteran & Certified NRA Instructor (#152581981)

Who This Course Is For

Bringing a firearm into your home for the first time is a big decision. Whether you recently purchased a handgun or are thinking about buying one, you shouldn't have to figure it out alone.

Unlike crowded classroom courses that only teach you how to pass a paper test, this is private, one-on-one instruction tailored to your pace and comfort level.

  • Location: Indoor Shooting Range at Bass Pro Shops (2nd Floor), Dania Beach, FL

  • Length: 3 Hours (1 hour of safety & fundamentals + 2 hours of live-fire range time)

  • Schedule: Flexible weekday and weekend appointments

What You Will Learn

Part 1: Safety, Home Storage & Confidence (1 Hour)

  • Safe Handling & Home Storage: How to keep your firearm secure around family and guests, including a look at modern biometric vaults and safes.

  • Choosing the Right Handgun: What to look for before buying a firearm that fits your hands and lifestyle.

  • Situational Awareness & Florida Law: How to recognize and avoid danger, plus a plain-English walkthrough of Florida’s concealed carry laws (Statute 790) with a printed copy to take home.

Part 2: Live-Fire Range Training (2+ Hours)

  • Hands-On Familiarity: How to safely load, unload, disassemble, and clean your handgun.

  • Practical Marksmanship: How to quickly acquire your target, manage recoil, and shoot accurately under realistic conditions (including low-light techniques).

  • Clearing Jams: Simple steps to fix a malfunction so you never panic if a gun stops firing.

  • 100 Rounds of Live Fire: Plenty of trigger time to build real muscle memory—not just punching holes in paper.

Upon completion, you will receive an official certificate that meets the training requirement for a Florida Concealed Carry Permit.
