No. Eye and ear protection are provided free of charge, but you may bring your own if you would prefer.

No - DoubleTap Concealed provides safe, quality handguns at no extra charge for you to use during the qualification. There is, however, a charge for ammunition, and if you use our guns, you must use the ammunition we provide for sale. This is done for safety purposes.

You can also bring any handgun in good condition to use as a qualifying pistol. Please bring all of your magazines with your pistol. You will need thirty (30) rounds of ammunition for the NORTH CAROLINA qualification and fifty (50) rounds of ammunition for the SOUTH CAROLINA qualification part of the class. If you have your own handgun you do not have to use our ammunition!

All semi automatic and revolvers in good working order are acceptable. NO single action revolvers, as they are not acceptable for self-defense.

We hold our classes at Flint Groves Baptist Church, 2017 E. Ozark Ave, Gastonia NC. Please arrive at 8:45 AM; class ends approximately 5:00 PM.

You will need to bring your valid Driver's License for the North Carolina or South Carolina class you are taking.

You can still schedule your class through our website SCHEDULE page, however you must bring proof of payment to class.
