Beginners welcome
These classes are built for first-time shooters. You will cover safe handling, the law, and live-fire fundamentals from the ground up.
No pistol required
Many instructors provide a firearm and ammunition for the range portion. Check the class listing so you know what is included before you book.

A Michigan CPL lets you carry concealed anywhere in the state, subject to posted pistol-free zones, and the license runs 4 to 5 years before renewal.
