Pick a date and pay in full to reserve your seat. Classes cap at six students — five for the live-fire qualification, so the seat is yours the moment payment goes through. Most classes run in our Sussex classroom on a laser system; the concealed carry qualification is live fire at our private range.
All times are Eastern. Sessions are added as they are scheduled.

These aren't on a set schedule — tell us you're interested and we'll set a date around you. If seats are left once the date is set, they go up here for anyone to book.
Seats are confirmed when payment completes.
No live ammunition in the classroom. Ever. Classroom sessions run on a laser cartridge, and nothing live comes through the classroom door.
It must arrive unloaded, with no ammunition and no loaded magazines — leave all of it in your vehicle.
We currently have laser cartridges in 9mm, .380 ACP, .40 S&W and .45 ACP only — that only limits Laser Practice, which is laser time on your own firearm. Call (973) 534-8437 with any questions.
Every firearm is inspected before it is accepted. We check it clear ourselves before it goes into the classroom — every firearm, every session, no exceptions.
The CCW Qualification is New Jersey's live-fire test for your carry permit. We do not teach holster draw or how to run your handgun on qualification day. There is no time for it, and a live firing line is not a safe place to learn it.
Before you book, you must already be able to do all of this safely and on your own:
The live-fire qualification is held at our outdoor private range. It is not cancelled for weather. Check the forecast and dress for the day — layers, rain gear, or sun protection, whatever it calls for. Jeans or tactical pants and closed-toe shoes; no open-toed shoes or sleeveless shirts.
You must bring:
Not there yet? That's what our other classes are for. Take CCW Prep / Holster Fundamentals to learn the holster draw, a Private Range Session to get live time on your own handgun, or Beginner Handgun if you're new to handguns — then come back and qualify. See those classes › or call (973) 534-8437 and we'll tell you honestly whether you're ready.
Payment in full reserves your seat. Class bookings are non-refundable — but we can move you to a different date if you need. Call (973) 534-8437 or email Info@Firearms-Express.com at least 48 hours before your class and we will move you to the next available session.
Keep this confirmation code as your proof of booking.

Arrive about ten minutes early. Most classes run in our classroom on a laser system; the concealed carry qualification is live fire at our private range.
