Knowledge, Skills, and Attitude: The Cornerstones of Our Training
Why Train with The Carry Guy Firearm Training Academy?
At The Carry Guy Firearm Training Academy (TCG), we believe that comprehensive firearm training begins with three critical elements: knowledge, skills, and attitude. These foundational components ensure that every student becomes a safe, responsible, and proficient firearm owner. Here’s why choosing TCG is the best decision you can make for your firearm training needs.

Course Offerings
Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP) Training
With over 35 years of practical experience, our South Carolina instructors deliver an unparalleled CWP training experience. The mandatory six to eight-hour class includes legal education on the use of deadly force, self-defense laws, and a live-fire qualification.
- Key Highlights:
- Comprehensive understanding of your rights and responsibilities.
- Entertaining and informative instruction with real-life examples.
- Firearms and ammunition provided for qualification, if needed.
Upon successful completion, you’ll receive the certificate required to apply for your South Carolina CWP through SLED. Remember, carrying concealed without a valid permit is illegal.
Basic Firearms Familiarization
Every firearm is unique, and familiarization is essential to safety and enjoyment. Whether you’ve purchased your first pistol or are upgrading to a new model, our instructors will guide you through:
- Safe handling techniques.
- Understanding your firearm’s components and functionality.
Basic Firearms Instruction
Even seasoned shooters benefit from revisiting the fundamentals of marksmanship. Our certified instructors provide:
- Personalized coaching to refine your shooting techniques.
- Essential drills to build confidence and accuracy.
Armed Self-Defense
Protecting yourself and your loved ones is about more than owning a firearm. It’s about preparation and strategy.
- Real-Life Scenarios:
- Learn how to respond effectively during a home invasion or other life-threatening situations.
- Develop a comprehensive protection plan for your household.
- Beyond Alarms and Dogs:Alarm systems and pets can deter opportunistic burglars but are often ineffective against determined attackers. Our training equips you with the tools and mindset needed to safeguard your family when seconds count and help is minutes away.
Why Attitude Matters
Knowledge and skills are vital, but attitude is the cornerstone of responsible firearm ownership. A positive, safety-first mindset ensures:
- Thoughtful decision-making in high-stress situations.
- Respect for the responsibility of carrying a firearm.
- A commitment to continuous learning and improvement.
At TCG, we emphasize attitude as much as technical skills, ensuring our students are prepared to handle their firearms with the respect and caution they demand.
Plan for Safety: Just Like a Fire Escape Plan
Your family’s safety depends on preparation. We’ll help you develop a detailed protection plan tailored to your home and lifestyle. From identifying safe zones to practicing drills, our instructors ensure you’re ready for any situation.
