Is Online Concealed Carry Training Safe? What You Actually Learn

More Than Just a Piece of Paper: Real Safety Training

A common criticism of online concealed carry courses is, "How can you learn to shoot from a computer?"

The honest answer? You can't learn marksmanship from a computer. You have to go to the range for that. But you can—and should—learn the intellectual and legal framework of gun safety before you ever load a magazine.

What Our Course Teaches Our state-approved curriculum focuses on the "software" (your brain) before the "hardware" (your gun).

  1. The 4 Rules of Firearm Safety: We drill these until they are second nature. Most negligent discharges happen because someone ignored one of these basic rules.

  2. Situational Awareness: Avoiding a fight is always better than winning one. We teach you how to spot danger before it escalates.

  3. Legal Use of Force: When can you legally pull the trigger in Tennessee? This is the most critical section. We explain the difference between "property defense" (usually a no-go) and "self-defense" (protecting life).

  4. Safe Storage: How to keep your gun accessible to you but impossible for children to access.

Why Online Makes Sense In a loud, hot range environment, it can be hard to focus on complex legal statutes. Learning these critical concepts in the quiet of your home allows you to absorb the information better.

The Responsibility is Yours We encourage all our students to take their certificate, get their permit, and then go to a range to practice their shooting skills. But for the foundational knowledge of safety and law? Tennessee-Carry.com is the perfect starting line.
