Don’t fall for the trap! 🛑 We’ve been seeing a lot of ads lately for "Online Concealed Carry Permits" that claim you can get certified with just a quick video and a 10-question quiz.

Here is the truth: These "permits" are NOT valid in North Carolina. 🚫 Some of these sites charge nearly $200 for a certificate that won't help you at the Sheriff's office. They often hide the fact that it’s invalid in our state deep in the fine print.

In North Carolina, the law is clear. To get your Concealed Handgun Permit, you must complete:
✅ An 8-hour, in-person training course.
✅ A live-fire qualification with at least 30 rounds at the range.

There are no shortcuts when it comes to legal compliance and safety. We’re here to help you do it the right way! Check out our upcoming class schedule at www.springsroadgunclub.com or give us a call at 828-638-6671 to get signed up for a real NC-approved course.

Stay safe and stay legal, Hickory!
