This course fulfills the requirements of Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-17-1366 to apply for a Concealed Only Handgun Carry Permit in the State of Tennessee and we have designed the class in such a way to permit us to meet the unique needs of each participant. Because this permit does not require live-fire qualification, those who are already proficient with a handgun for self-defense can complete this course requirements in 3 hours instead of the 8 hour requirement of the Enhanced Carry Permit course. After the 3 hour class, we offer those who would like to learn more about how to shoot well hands-on individual instruction with live-fire. And, also the ability to get custom fit for a handgun that you are most-likely to retain in a fight for your life and increase the odds you will prevail in a self-defense encounter. Best of all, you can apply for your permit and be more confident in your journey to a more empowered lifestyle while experiencing the ability to carry your permit in the same states that accept the Enhanced carry permit [with the exception of Siberia America, aka: Nebraska] and you will be able to carry in Louisiana, too! [The "Enhanced" carry permit is NOT accepted in Louisiana.]
Then there is a substantial cost savings, too! The cost to reserve your seat in a Concealed Only Carry Permit class is still only $28. The cost to apply for the permit is only $65 [not the $100 "enhanced" permit fee] and the renewal timelines are the SAME. You will not need a "lifetime" permit upgrade as the cost of the permit for a term of 32 years is only $260 [not the $300 "lifetime" fee] and best of all, you have use of your money for 32 years before you would renew again? Not to mention, paying $300 for a 'lifetime" permit is no guarantee that permits will even be necessary at all in the future as our 2A Rights are being pursued more diligently these days so that permits may be unnecessary . . . "history you might say"? All of which is why SFWA is no longer doing the Enhanced permit course and . . .
"Actually, there is not much difference at all is there? Oh, except saving valuable time and money!"—Susan Romanov, SFWA Founder

As unbelievable as it may seem, SFWA has the ability to help students who have never even fired a handgun shoot well, the first time! But, that is not all! We will even be able to get you custom-fit for the gun and gear that fits your unique qualities to help you increase your odds of prevailing in a life-threatening situation and avoid losing your gun in the encounter. [See below]
If you are apprehensive about learning to shoot as a newbie or want to increase your accuracy level but still have not shot on an indoor range with an instructor, we want you to know that SAFETY on the range is essential . . . we keep
the stress level low,
and the success level
high, for our students!
Plus, students may use our firearms for FREE! Actually, we encourage you NOT to purchase a firearm for personal protection, prior to taking the class as you will be better equipped to make a more educated decision.
Don't miss out, "register" soon, classes fill up really fast!
We are the most popular place to take the Concealed Only In Person Handgun Carry Class for women and their friends and family; thus, those who consider us competition
very often attempt to convince those interested in taking our courses that there are
hidden fees, excessive travel, range issues, or other misleading gimmicks.
It really is only a $28 non-refundable pre-class donation for the Concealed Only Permit course. Plus, it's fun, informative and empowering!
"Since 2008, there have been more than 100,000 women and a few good men who I personally have taught these courses and no one has failed because it is the instructor's job to teach you what you will need to know to succeed, including the written test and [when required] the live-fire shooting qualification element. Because this course does not require you to do a live-fire qualification, and we know that there are many who STILL want to know how to shoot better, we make it possible for you to get personal live-fire training after you complete your class for only $15 for a range fee and $15 for ammo, and we will let you use our guns for FREE! [If you want to use your own gun, that is fine, too! It is BECAUSE we care that you will increase the odds you will prevail and can carry a handgun for protection should you ever need to defend yourself or a loved one, especially in places were a handgun carry permit allows you to carry a gun that those without a permit are not permitted to carry. Hope to see you in a class soon!"—Susan Romanov, SFWA Founder
