List of things you need to bring to the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act - Concealed Carry Class:
Handgun: The handgun cannot be greater than .45 caliber. The gun must be in good (safe) working condition. If you need to borrow a gun, there are a limited number available. Make those arrangements with the instructor at least one week ahead of time. If the instructor provides the handgun, the student must still provide ammunition. If you bring and shoot a revolver in the shooting exercise, you will only be licensed to carry a revolver or derringer. If you shoot a semi-automatic pistol in the shooting exercise, you can carry any of the three - derringer, revolver, or semi-automatic.
Ammunition: Bring fifty (50) rounds of factory ammunition for the caliber of gun you will be shooting. Make sure that the ammunition is suited for the gun you are bringing. If you use a gun furnished by the instructor, it will probably use .22 caliber, long rifle ammunition. Check with the instructor ahead of time. (NO RELOADS - COMMERCIAL OR OTHERWISE)
Eye protection: It is the responsibility of the student to bring eye protection. "Eye protection must be designed specifically for shooting, or be of safety glass."
Ear protection: It is the responsibility of the student to bring ear protection. "Ear (hearing) protection may be the standard shooting earmuffs, or the foam, rubber, or plastic plugs. Spent ammunition casings are not acceptable as hearing protection."
Headgear: It is the responsibility of the student to bring a brimmed hat. A baseball or golf hat is fine, but any hat with a three inch brim will do. The brim of the hat may afford another layer of protection to the face from falling objects.
Lunch: If you want to eat something for lunch, you will need to bring it with you. We will not have a long enough lunch break (30 minutes) to find something to buy. There are a pop and candy bar machines that are usually fairly well stocked, but you'd better not depend on them.
Handouts: Bring the handouts you received by e-mail. You will need them.
Additional items:
- A container for carry equipment and ammunition
- Pencil
- Notebook paper
Regarding the exam:
Students will take a fifteen (15) question, multiple-choice, Safety Examination. The examination will cover only firearms safety. The material on the test will be well covered in the course.
Students must correctly answer eleven (11) of the fifteen (15) questions to pass the examination (70%). If they do not pass the examination they will be asked to leave before the examination is reviewed. Students failing the examination must re-enroll in another SDA Concealed Carry Class; they may not continue. (Per the Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training)
