Michigan CPL training

Build the knowledge behind the license.

Concealed carry comes with serious safety, handling, and legal responsibilities. Range 313 brings the required topics into one focused course so students can learn, ask questions, and apply the fundamentals on the range.

The class is designed to help you complete qualifying training—not to promise license eligibility. Michigan CPL eligibility and approval remain part of the separate application process.

Course overview

Prepare for concealed carry responsibly.

Michigan requires qualifying pistol safety training before a new CPL application. This class pairs essential classroom topics with supervised range instruction so you can develop safer habits and understand the responsibilities that extend beyond the firing line.

Classes are offered on scheduled dates. Call before planning your visit to confirm the next opening, final class times, ammunition needs, available rental options, and anything your instructor wants you to bring.
