Basic Handgun Instruction:

Please use the Registration Form to enroll in the above classes.

In addition to our Concealed Handgun License (CHL) classes, we do offer basic handgun instruction.  This class is suitable for those that do not currently have an interest in obtaining a New Mexico Concealed Handgun License.  By attending the Segments #2 & #3 of our scheduled Concealed Handgun License (CHL) class, the student will receive information and instruction on the safe-handling and storing of handguns, as well as appropriate shooting techniques.   We do strongly recommend that basic handgun students attend (although it is not required) our Segment #1 session, if at all possible, as it covers New Mexico & Federal law/regulations regarding the ownership, possession, and use of firearms.  Nevertheless, attendance at our Segment #2 class is requisite before attending Segment #3 at the firing range.  See a broad course description below.  Whether you are 101 or 21 years of age, if you understand the value/need to have a basic understanding in the safe use of a handgun, this basic handgun class instruction is a good starting point ... even if you have never fired a handgun before!  If you would like to be included in our next scheduled class that is open for registration please contact us.


New Mexico Concealed Handgun License (CHL) Class Information:

Storm Tight schedules Concealed Handgun License (CHL) classes to accommodate groups of four (4) or more (e.g., family, friends, co-workers, social acquaintances, etc.) registering to attend at the same time, or those seeking private instruction.  The group leader or private instruction party should contact us for dates and times that would be convenient to the group/individual and we will schedule a Concealed Handgun License (CHL) class.

We use a semi-private area of the firing range, which allows the students to be distanced, both visually and protectively, from other shooters that may be using other parts of the public range.

If you wish to schedule a group Concealed Handgun License (CHL) class, please contact us.


Basic Handgun Instruction

This is a class that focuses on basic firearm instruction in the fundamentals of safe-guarding and safe-handling of a firearm.  This information and instruction is included in our Concealed Handgun License (CHL) class Segments # 2 & 3.  Those interested in basic firearm instruction, but that do not currently desire to apply for the New Mexico Concealed Handgun License, should register for our Segments # 2 & 3 classes, but not Segments # 1 & 4.  Included in this instruction, but not exclusive / limited to it by any means, will be the National Rifle Association's (NRA) First Steps Pistol Orientation material.

This course covers:

Equipment needed for the class:

We use a semi-private area of the firing range, which allows the students to be distanced, both visually and protectively, from other shooters that may be using other parts of the public range.

Additionally, if the student decides after completing this basic handgun class that they would like to qualify for the New Mexico Concealed Handgun License (CHL), this class would satisfy at least half of the required 15+ hours needed to apply for their CHL.  The final CHL qualifying hours (i.e., Segments # 1 & 4) would need to be through Storm Tight LLC (i.e., our basic handgun training is not transferrable to another instructor that may be offering CHL classes.).   Those final CHL qualifying hours should be completed within 60 days after finishing this basic handgun class. A discounted cost for the final CHL qualifying sessions would be offered @ $25.00 for the instruction and certification plus an additional $15.00 firing range expense that would be needed to fire the category and caliber of handguns as covered under the CHL regulations.
