Hey Myrtle Beach! We’ve got some news that might just tickle your fancy, especially if you’re looking to enhance your knowledge on firearm safety. The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) has announced that they’re rolling out free concealed weapons permit (CWP) courses throughout our lovely state, and yes, that includes right here in Horry County!
This initiative is part of the new Constitutional Carry law in South Carolina, which means SLED is required to offer two free CWP classes every month in each county. So, whether you’re a seasoned pro or just want to know the ropes, these classes are a fantastic opportunity to get some official training without shelling out a dime!
Before you get too excited, let’s clarify: this new program doesn’t replace existing CWP classes. It’s an addition to what’s already out there, and it’s specifically free for the instructional part of the course. You might still see other CWP classes on the schedule, but this gives you more options to explore!
Thinking about joining a class? There are a few requirements to keep in mind:
If you’re ready to get started, signing up is super easy!
Wondering what you’ll learn? Students can expect at least four hours of instruction covering the basics of firearm safety, fundamentals, firearm terms (they can be a mouthful!), the law of self-defense, and much more. There’s even a 50-question multiple-choice test at the end, plus a 25-round qualification course. You’ll need to score at least 70% to pass—no pressure, right?
These classes are a fabulous chance for anyone from a curious newbie wanting to learn more to experienced folks who just want to refresh their skills and knowledge. Plus, it’s all about staying safe and understanding the laws surrounding carrying a firearm. Having more knowledge is never a bad thing!
So, there you have it, Myrtle Beach! If you’re interested in the free CWP courses, be sure to catch one that fits your schedule. It’s a great way to get informed and involved, all while making our beautiful community a little safer. Happy learning!
