3. Handgun Uses and Techniques.
4. Handgun Knowledge and Skills for Safe Handling.
5. Safe Storage of Firearm and Ammunition.
6. Safe Transportation and Safe Storage Methods In Vehicles.
7. Safe Handgun Cleaning Instruction.

In addition to the above topics being covered you will find this Legal Heat course contains a lot of useful information regarding firearm laws and function. This course features state of the art interactive exercises and the industry best design elements.  Once you finish the class you will receive your certificate of completion instantly to download and via email.

This class qualifies you to obtain the Standard Tennessee Handgun Carry Permit. A few notes regarding this permit:

• Must carry concealed at all times. This permit does not allow you to open carry.
• The fee for the permit will be $65 and is paid directly to the state.
• After you complete the course you must fill out the CCP Proof of Training form to submit along with training proof
• The permit will have an eight (8) year expiration date
• In addition to other prohibited areas, you may not carry at any school or university (public or private)

Within the firearm industry, there is a lot of debate about what constitutes enough training to prepare someone for carrying a concealed firearm. Throughout the United States, Legal Heat teaches nearly 100 different in-person concealed firearm permit courses each month. These courses will range from 4 hours in length to over 3 days in duration, depending on the state laws where we operate. Legal Heat’s position on what constitutes enough training is that there is never enough training.

We encourage all of our students, whether in-person or online, to continue their firearm safety and functionality training for their entire lifetime. However, when it comes to qualifying someone to exercise their inalienable right to carry a firearm for self-protection, we are not going to force anyone to do anything more than state law requires. If your state requires a 16-hour in-person training course (like Illinois), then we are going to offer the absolute best 16-hour course in the industry. If other states (such as Virginia, Idaho or Iowa) only require completion of an online training course, then we will offer the best online training course possible. We are here to encourage people to exercise their rights, not to dissuade them from doing so.

This course has been designed by attorneys, professional firearm instructors, college professors, and graphic designers. Make no mistake, this is the finest online training course on the market.

Once you complete your online training course we hope to see you in one of our hundreds of in-person training courses as you continue your firearm training education.

NOTE: Where a state’s permit is honored (often called “reciprocity”) will change from time to time. Having multiple state carry permits can help cover the gaps in any potential changes. As such, we always suggest checking the Legal Heat App or purchasing our 50 State Guide To Firearm Laws and Regulations book before you travel, to ensure your permit is valid in the locations you will be visiting.
