CCW Approval - Weapons Tactics

CCW Holders: VCC permits the carrying of concealed weapons (CCW) by those who have a valid Concealed Handgun License (CHL) and have been approved by VCC. The VCC approval process involves possession of a valid CHL and annual successful completion of two classes*:

1. VCC CCW Approval-Weapons Tactics: a five-hour training covering safe weapon handling, weapon manipulation in crowded environments, and behavior-based responses for armed protectors to active deadly threats;

2. VCC CCW Approval-Handgun Fundamentals: a five-hour live fire training covering handgun fundamentals and safe weapon handling.

To enhance the safety and protection of those on VCC property, both of these trainings must be successfully completed to be approved to CCW on VCC property.  These trainings are NOT a CCW class and are only open to those who already possess a valid CHL.  

The VCC CCW Approval-Weapons Tactics Training will be held Sunday, Nov. 10 from 12:30P-5:30P.  To attend you must pre-register and at time of registration provide proof of possession of a valid CHL.  Attendees will need to bring to the training their CHL, personal concealed carry weapon, and concealment holster with weapon retention system.  The training will be conducted inside VCC and lunch will be provided.  When registering please advise if you have any special dietary requirements or allergies. If you have any questions, or to pre-register, contact Doug Williard at doug.williard@gmail.com.  When pre-registering, include a copy/photo of your CHL.

*Students from the 7/30/2019 training are already VCC CCW approved and do not need to attend, but are welcome to register and attend as well.
