JOPLIN, MO (SNS) - Missouri Southern State University's Law Enforcement Academy has scheduled an Advanced Concealed Carry firearms training class for citizens.

 

* The Advanced Concealed Carry Class will be held from 8 a.m. to 12 noon, Saturday, Oct. 27 in the Mills Anderson Criminal Justice Center.

 

The class is for those who have successfully completed the basic class and want to further their firearms skills.

 

The cost of the course is $75. Participants are required to bring their firearm, eye protection, ear protection and 150 rounds of ammunition.

 

Missouri Southern periodically offers the basic Concealed Carry Class. In order to obtain a basic Concealed Carry permit Missourians must:

 

• Successfully complete an approved firearms safety course.
• Be at least 23 years of age.
• Be a U.S. citizen and either have lived in the state for six months or be stationed here as a member of the Armed Forces.
• Undergo state and federal criminal background checks.
• Pay $100 for a three-year permit.

 

Taking advanced class does not eliminate the need to take the basic class to obtain the Concealed Carry permit.

 

To register and prepay for the course, contact Brenda Spurlin at (417) 625-9328 or e-mail her at spurlin-b@mssu.edu. Ms. Spurlin’s office is located in Room 126 of the Mills Anderson Justice Center on the MSSU campus.
