Rhinox Research Group is at 1300 W Muhammad Ali Blvd STE 120, Louisville, KY 40203. Classroom instruction happens at our facility, and live fire portions take place at a local range. Be prepared to travel to the range for the shooting portion of any live fire class.

The Concealed Carry Permit Course is the one you want. Successful completion allows you to apply for a Concealed Carry Deadly Weapon (CCDW) permit through the Kentucky State Police CCDW program.

The class runs about six hours in the classroom plus an hour of range time, and covers conflict avoidance, the legal use of force, basic shooting skills, and what to do after an incident. You will fire 20 rounds and receive a certificate of completion.

No. Rentals are available for every live fire class. If you are brand new and still deciding what to buy, taking the Basic Handgun Safety Training first is a good way to try a handgun before you purchase one.

For our live fire handgun classes, bring:

• Your handgun (rentals available)
• One magazine
• 20 rounds of ammunition, which stay out of the classroom until the range portion
• A pen and notebook

For the full-day Concealed Carry Permit Course, also bring lunch. You get a 30 minute break.

For the USCCA Instructor Certification Course, bring your handgun, two magazines, and 100 rounds.

We provide safety equipment, range targets, range time, and refreshments at no extra cost.
