dede1, yes there will be classes in both November and December. Our instructor normally takes off the second Saturday of each month to shoot in an IDPA competition. Available class days are typically Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Classes are about 6 to 7 hours of classroom time and about an hour at a nearby range for the shooting portion. It is the NRA Basic Pistol class and does qualify for your concealed handgun permit. There are additional handouts and information regarding this after the class.
