DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF MY WISCONSIN CONCEALED CARRY COURSE

 I believe I have put together the most comprehensive concealed carry course in the state that can be presented in a single day.  This course is designed to take approximately 6 hours to complete.  The course teaches the legal, practical and tactical aspects of carrying a weapon for personal protection and security in Wisconsin under the state's new concealed carry law which takes effect November 1, 2001.
