Long answer:
  • One of the requirements to apply for your CCW permit is to: “complete a firearms safety training program pursuant to A.R.S. § 13-3112(N). 
  • Per A.R.S. § 13-3112(N):
    • “N. An applicant shall demonstrate competence with a firearm through any of the following:
    • 1. Completion of any firearms safety or training course or class that is available to the general public, that is offered by a law enforcement agency, a junior college, a college or a private or public institution, academy, organization or firearms training school and that is approved by the department of public safety or that uses instructors who are certified by the national rifle association.
  • Per multiple dictionaries, the definition of “competence” of is:
    • “The ability to do something successfully or efficiently” – Oxford Languages
    • “The quality or state of having sufficient knowledge, judgement, skill, or strength” – Merriam-Webster Dictionary
    • “The ability to do something well” – Cambridge Dictionary
  • HG 101 / First Rounds (HG edition) is a basic introduction to handgun safety and training.
  • The definition of “basic” is:
    • “Forming an essential foundation or starting point; fundamental” – Oxford Languages
  • The definition of “introduction” is:
    • “The action of introducing something” – Oxford Languages
 
Most students attending HG 101 / First Rounds (HG edition) are new, or still learning how to be competent with a firearm. It is difficult to acknowledge (or “sign off”) that a student is “competent” with a firearm when they are attending a basic, introductory class.
 
Until a student demonstrates they are truthfully competent with a firearm, we do not issue certificates that students can submit to AZ DPS for their CCW permit. Our definition of being “competent with a firearm” includes muzzle and trigger-finger discipline, marksmanship (you have to be able to shoot with accuracy and consistency), and safely drawing from a holster and re-holstering.
 
We understand there are many “CCW permit” classes available in Tucson, both online and in-person. Most of these classes do not require students to handle a firearm or to shoot… so how is it possible for an instructor or school to claim that a student was able to “demonstrate competence with a firearm”? In our opinion, the AZ DPS has loose requirements on the classes they accept; as long as it fits their criteria (the class certificate says the applicant “demonstrated competence with a firearm” and it was given by a person with the correct credentials) it will be accepted. On one hand, we understand Arizona is a “constitutional carry” state, so the requirements to receive a CCW permit isn’t strict. On the other hand, we do not agree with the loose requirements on what classes a student can complete and be deemed as being “competent with a firearm”.
 
We do have our version of a “CCW permit” class. This is our least popular class because most would rather attend a class from someone else because it is more convenient and cheaper. Our version is usually a 2-day class, starting at $150. The first day involves reviewing handgun safety and training and the AZ gun laws. The second day is at the range; students are required to complete and pass a timed live-fire qualification. Students are required to have previous firearms handling and shooting experience, their own handgun, magazines, ammunition, and holster. Please note that although we do review the AZ gun laws together, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure they understand the laws; students are encouraged to contact lawyers or the state for further clarification.

Tucson Mountain Park (TMP) is a public range operated by Pima County. You will have other people shooting next to you, so it can get loud. 

Marana Shooting Club (MSC) is a private range, available to its club members on select days each month. There is one large rifle bay and four smaller pistol bays. We usually reserve a pistol bay for handgun classes, so it is more private than TMP. There may be other shooters in the other bays, but it is usually more quiet than TMP. 

MSC is usually better for students who are very nervous. Most students will be nervous and jumpy when they hear gun fire. This is a common issue shooters have to work through and get accustomed to. For students who know they are very anxious and nervous, MSC or doing an in-home private lesson before going to the range, may be the better option. Students are able to familiarize themselves with the universal firearm safety rules, parts and actions of a firearm, and how to safely hold and perform all of the manipulations of a firearm, during an in-home lesson. Most students’ fear is doing something unsafe with a firearm, so an in-home lesson helps reduce their anxiety and fear.

There is a price difference for classes held at TMP vs MSC. There is a large difference in the amount of supplies and labor involved in hosting a class at MSC compared to TMP. For MSC, we have to set up and tear down, and load and unload our vehicles with supplies we wouldn’t have to bring if we went to TMP. Supplies include tables, chairs, target stands, target supplies (like wood sticks and cardboard), and canopies.
