    Excellent combat training in Walker near Baton Rouge. The gun shop was well equipped too. The staff was very knowledgeable about all kinds of guns, rifles, supplies, and maintenance. We met David at the gun shop to buy the appropriate ammunition and drove to the range. He taught us a lot about holding each individual gun. Lots of time to practice. He was never in a rush. He even helped us with ear protection. We learned a lot about emergency situations and how to treat our guns respectfully for everyone’s safety. I feel a lot more confident after the training.

    Great class! Very informative and instructors are very intelligent and are easy to work with as far as helping you understand the laws and the do’s and don't’s of today’s world! Highly recommend!

    David Groce’s Safety Class for Minors is exceptional. As a parent, you’re always hoping for a class that does more than just “check a box.” This one did exactly that—and more. David has a rare ability to connect with kids in a way that feels engaging, empowering, and age-appropriate, without fear or intimidation. The information was clear, practical, and delivered with a calm confidence that made my son feel safe while still taking the material seriously. What stood out most to me was my son’s response afterward. His immediate reaction was simply: “Show me more.” That says everything. Instead of feeling overwhelmed or scared, he felt curious, confident, and eager to learn. He walked away with real tools, better awareness, and a stronger sense of self—not anxiety. David doesn’t just teach safety. He builds confidence, awareness, and discernment in young people. I cannot recommend this class highly enough for parents who want their children to be prepared, informed, and empowered in today’s world. This is education that truly matters—and it stays with them. Highly, highly recommend!

    FAQ

    Louisiana Concealed Carry FAQs

    How long is the Louisiana Concealed Carry class?▼
    The first-time class is one day, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Louisiana requires at least nine hours of training for a first permit, including live fire. The renewal class runs 8:00 AM to noon.
    How much does the class cost?▼
    The Louisiana Concealed Carry Class is $125 and the Renewal Class is $125. See the Classes page for every course and current dates.
    What do I need to bring?▼
    You will need a reliable handgun, 50 rounds of ammunition, eye and ear protection, and a valid driver's license or state ID. If you do not own a handgun yet, we have rentals available for a small fee.
    How long is a Louisiana CHP valid?▼
    A Louisiana concealed handgun permit is valid for five (5) years from the date of issuance. A lifetime permit is also available from Louisiana State Police for a higher fee.
    What’s the difference between permitted carry and constitutional carry in Louisiana?▼

    Since July 4, 2024, adults 18 and older who can legally possess a firearm may carry a concealed handgun in Louisiana without a permit. That is permitless, or constitutional, carry.

    A Louisiana Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) takes a training class, fingerprints and a background check through Louisiana State Police. It is still worth having:

    • Other states that honor a Louisiana permit let you carry there. Permitless carry stops at the state line.
    • You get documented training in safe handling and the law on use of force.

    The rules on where you cannot carry, the alcohol limit, and notifying an officer apply to everyone who carries, with or without a permit. The class is where you learn them.

    Which states honor my Louisiana CHP?▼
    Many states honor a Louisiana permit. The list changes, so check the current reciprocity list on the Louisiana State Police website before you travel.
    Do you offer private or group classes?▼
    Yes! We offer one-on-one private instruction tailored to your specific needs and skill level. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced shooter looking to refine your technique, we can help.
    Where is your gun shop located?▼
    Our gun shop is at 32290 Sasser Lane, Walker, LA 70785, just off I-12 at Exit 15. It is about 10 minutes from Denham Springs and about 25 minutes from Baton Rouge. Hours are Monday to Friday 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM and Saturday 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
