    Hi Shirley, I try to keep up with the comments, but obviously I haven’t done a very good job at it 🙂 We get a ton (thousands) of spam comments and they really clog up the comment list. I do apologize!! Email Christine at info@thewellarmedwoman.com and we will see what we can do for you. Carrie

    Hi,
    Is there an online refresher course for someone who already has a CC license? I’ve had a license since 1998 and I used to be a good target shooter. However, until recently, I haven’t shot any firearm for about 10 years, for various reasons. I haven’t actually Carried either, for various reasons. The neighborhood I live in isn’t the greatest and with all the crime and drugs happening lately, I’d like to feel comfortable with carrying my gun and adequately prepared to protect myself and family if needed. (I’m also a senior on a fixed income, so I’m hoping the courses aren’t too expensive, or at least have a senior discount)

  3. Nancy Jo says:

    Is a certificate issued at the completion of the course? I’ve had my Pennsylvania CCL, since the early 1990’s. I live in the central part of the state (approximately 50 miles north of Harrisburg). The closest indoor handgun ranges are 50 miles away to both the north and south of my home. Can you suggest an instructor in my area?

    1. Carrie Lightfoot says:

      Hi Nancy,
      No, this course is for educational purposes only and does not certify you to be a concealed carrier. You can try our Instructor finder to find a TWAW certified instructor near you. TWAW Instructor Finder

  4. Ann says:

    I would like this course as a Christmas present. How would I tell my family to register me? Is there a gift certificate or would they just put my name as the student. Also from time of registration/ purchase is there a certain amount of time to sign into the course since Christmas is a month away ?

    1. Carrie Lightfoot says:

      Hi Ann,
      I would recommend they get you a gift certificate in the amount of the course. Then, you can use that to purchase the course, and that way it will be registered to your account. Once you are enrolled, you have a year to access the course whenever you want. We hope you enjoy it! Happy Holidays!

    I am waiting to renew my lapsed permit, but this is being held up by Covid 19. If I enroll, can I do the training now, and then review it again to refresh my knowledge when I get my license? In other words, will my access to the training be indefinite? If not, when will this training be offered again?

    1. Carrie Lightfoot says:

      Hi Carmen,

      This course is educational only. Once completing, it does not grant you a concealed carry permit – you will have to apply for one according to the requirements of your local jurisdiction. Thanks for the question!

  13. Joan says:

    When I first got my conceal permit my next thought was “well now what?!” I made the mistake of joining the NRA, thinking I would find great information there. Girl! Was I wrong! Just politics, not the help I needed. Then I stumbled across TWAW! If you want to learn Carrie has all the information you can possibly want! She understands your concerns and knows how to teach as well. If you are in doubt take her class! You will not regret it! I recommend her site to every woman I meet. We are not men, we can’t/don’t carry like they do and Carrie knows her stuff! And no I was not paid or compensated for this in anyway.

    1. Ricci Hershey says:

      Very helpful! I’m looking for a nonpolitical place to learn. Thank you!

    2. Susan Tucker says:

      Thank you! I am considering the course and your feedback finalized my decision.

    Does this course enable you to get the permit to carry when you’re finished. If not what are the requirments to get a permit to carry for Wisconsin.
    Thank you,

    1. Carrie Lightfoot says:

      Hi Karen,
      This course is for educational purposes only and will not result in a concealed carry permit. You will need to research the requirements of your local jurisdiction to obtain your CC permit, as all states are different. You can usually find this information by searching online.

      Hi Lynne,

      This course is jammed packed with info and the total time is just under 3 hours. However, it is broken into different lessons and topics which you can watch at any pace you would like.

  16. Barb says:

  17. Margaret says:

    What states would this be legal in?

    1. Carrie Lightfoot says:

      Hi Margaret,
      This course is not for obtaining your concealed carry permit – it is informational only. Thank you for your question!

  18. Laura says:

    Is this a course that is self-paced or do we have to log on at specific times?
