Title: New member from Newark
Post by: KGrans on March 24, 2021, 10:58:33 PM
Relatively new Delaware resident (previously MD and NJ before that). Long time shooting enthusiast, but obviously new to CCW having lived where I've lived. Looking forward to starting the process and soaking up as much knowledge as possible. I've got no problem doing my own research, but if anybody would like to help jumpstart my search and recommend a good training class in NCC it would be greatly appreciated. Any good experiences (bad experiences)?

Thanks in advance, and thanks for having me!

I took my class with David Johnson from First State Firearms Training. No complaints. His tuition is reasonable and the material presented was clear and memorable.

I have observed that his range session has moved to a new venue, which may be more or less convenient, depending on where you live.

I would also recommend Radnor. There is MUCH more to completing the requirements,
than taking the courses. Radnor will be able to coach you through the whole process.
The only other advice I can offer is that you get 3 or 4 additional Non-resident State
concealed carry permits, most importantly is a Pennsylvania CCW. PA and DE do not
reciprocate. I also have a Florida CCW. I have relatives in Florida, and with those three
permits, I can travel by way of the PA Turnpike to West Virginia, and south to FL with
reciprocity. Avoid MD at all cost. The DE, PA, and FL permits will get you reciprocity in
I believe 31 states.
Thank you for choosing to exercise your 2A right.
