Next month my son and I are taking the mandatory CCW training to qualify for our Ohio CCW permit in April. Its a two day, 12 hour class for $100 that provides documentation and range time. How much (if any) did you have to pay for your NRA handgun safety course? The $100 DOES NOT include the permit itself. All the training being posted in Ohio costs $100-125 plus the $50 for the permit at the county office. Since I work at a prison, maybe I can deduct it as an expense.
