Permit to Carry & Other Firearm Classes in Minnesota
As the Owner and Lead Instructor at Defensive Resources Training Solutions, I, James Maloney, am committed to helping you build confidence and proficiency with firearms. I offer a wide range of firearm training classes designed to suit various needs and skill levels, including the Minnesota Permit to Carry class that is eligible as a Multi State Conceal Carry class. If you’re seeking specialized training or have specific requests, don’t hesitate to contact me for personalized support.
Currently, Defensive Resources Training Solutions offers online courses, including the classroom portion of the Minnesota Permit to Carry and Multi-State Concealed Carry Course for $150. To enroll, participants must first complete the free prerequisite Handgun Basics Course. Please note that to qualify for the Concealed Carry Course Completion Certificate, required for your permit application, you must complete an additional in-person range session within 90 days. This range session is included in the cost of the Concealed Carry Course.
Defensive Resources Training Solutions offers private firearm training sessions tailored to your needs, whether you’re looking for a beginner-friendly crash course or want to deepen your existing knowledge. These private sessions are ideal for individuals who may feel intimidated in a group setting or prefer one-on-one instruction for a more personalized experience. Due to the focused nature of these sessions, pricing is higher than standard group classes.
Contact me today to learn more and schedule your private session.
If a full-sized class doesn’t suit your needs, or if you have a group of friends, family members, or couples interested in learning about pistols, Defensive Resources Training Solutions offers small group classes tailored to your interests. These classes provide an engaging way to learn together in a more intimate setting, perfect for building skills and confidence. Similar to private sessions, small group classes allow for more one-on-one time with the instructor compared to larger classes, ensuring personalized guidance and attention.
Contact me today for more information or to schedule a small group class.
Defensive Resources Training Solutions periodically offers larger classes covering a variety of firearm-related topics. These sessions are designed to accommodate more participants while still providing valuable insights and practical training. Whether you’re interested in a specific subject or looking to expand your firearm knowledge, these classes are a great opportunity to learn in a group setting.
