In June 15 and July 13, the Hillsdale College John Anthony Halter Shooting Sports Education Center will be offering concealed pistol license courses. The 8-hour CPL course is based on the National Rifle Association curriculum of Basic Personal Protection in the Home and meets the legal requirement for obtaining a CPL in Michigan.

The course covers topics such as firearm safety, gun and ammunition selection, shooting techniques, personal security, ethics and faith considerations, decision-making, psychology and physiology, mindset and preparedness, and relevant laws. Students are required to bring at least 100 rounds of ammunition for the range portion of the course. It is recommended to bring a pen and paper and dress appropriately for the weather. For those who do not have a personal firearm, guns and .22LR ammunition will be provided. Upon completion of the class, students will receive certificates to submit with their CPL applications at their county clerk’s office.

The Halter Center is a state-of-the-art shooting facility that offers various classes, camps, conferences, and programming for individuals at all levels of experience. It serves as the home for Hillsdale College’s shooting teams and the USA national team. The center also hosts events such as regional competitions for college students across Michigan.
