Why Get a CPL?

Taking a CPL class is an important step for anyone who wants to carry a concealed weapon. Not only will it ensure that you understand the laws and regulations surrounding concealed carry, but it will also give you the training you need to safely handle and use your firearm.

There are many reasons why someone might want to take a concealed carry class. The first is to acquire a concealed carry permit. Michigan requires you to complete a class as a prerequisite for obtaining a CPL license.

Some people take these courses to learn about the laws and regulations related to carrying a concealed weapon. These classes cover the legal aspects of carrying a concealed gun, including when it is legal to use a firearm in self-defense, and what constitutes a justifiable use of force.

These classes can also help you stay updated on new laws and regulations. Laws regarding concealed carry are subject to change, and taking a class periodically can help you stay current with any new laws and regulations of your state and make sure they are in compliance.

Another reason to take a CPL course is to learn about specific safety and self-defense techniques. Some courses provide training on the safe handling, storage, and use of firearms, as well as self-defense techniques that can be used in various situations.

Others take carry classes to gain confidence in handling a firearm. CPL classes offer hands-on training and practice in handling, loading, and firing a pistol, which can help you gain confidence in your abilities.

Another reason is to meet personal or professional requirements. Some professions, such as law enforcement or security, may require employees to be trained in concealed carry.
