Cost: $100

The Michigan CPL course is the foundation of the 2026 BHS Defensive Skills Summit. This full-day class is designed for responsible citizens seeking the knowledge, safety habits, and practical handgun skills needed to pursue a Michigan Concealed Pistol License.
Students will receive a combination of classroom instruction and supervised range training covering firearm safety, responsible ownership, handgun fundamentals, safe storage, legal considerations, concealed carry responsibilities, and the practical application of defensive handgun skills.
This course is about more than completing a requirement. Our goal is to give students a safe, professional starting point and a clear understanding of the continued training needed to become confident and competent handgun owners.
