Get Trained, Get Your Permit
Training & Concealed Carry
Learn to carry safely and confidently with the Liberty Tree team.
Hometown Training Done Right
Carry With Confidence
We offer the Missouri Concealed Carry Course along with friendly, no-pressure guidance for new and experienced shooters alike. Whether you have never held a firearm or you have been shooting for years, our goal is the same: help you handle your gun safely, understand the law, and walk away knowing what you are doing.
Students tell us the class is fun, relaxed, and genuinely informative — the kind of day where you actually enjoy learning. Even nervous first-timers who walk in unsure of themselves tend to leave the range standing a little taller and feeling confident. There is no big-box runaround here, just patient instruction from people who want you to succeed.
How We Can Help
From your permit to your very first range day, we meet you where you are.
Missouri CCW Course
Classroom instruction plus hands-on live-fire, structured to meet Missouri’s requirements for your concealed carry permit. We cover everything you need so you leave ready to apply with your sheriff.
New to Firearms?
Never owned a gun? Perfect. We’ll help you choose the right first firearm for your hand and your goals, then teach you the fundamentals from the ground up — no judgment, no pressure, no dumb questions.
Friendly Instructors
Patient, respectful, and laser-focused on real safety. Our instructors take the time to explain the why behind every rule, so good habits stick long after the class is over.
A Day in the Class
What to Expect
A straightforward day broken into clear, approachable sections.
- Safety fundamentals — the core rules of safe handling, storage, and range conduct that keep you and everyone around you protected.
- The law — what Missouri concealed carry law actually says, where and how you can carry, and your responsibilities as a permit holder.
- Marksmanship & live-fire — grip, stance, sight picture, and trigger control put into practice on the range under direct supervision.
- Q&A — open time to ask anything, from holster choices to gear and follow-up practice, before you head home.
