Weaponcraft's Basic Handgun Course (HG01) is designed to develop a solid base of necessary fundamental skills that can be successfully employed in life-threatening defensive scenarios. Strong emphasis is placed on handgun safety, basic marksmanship, and "stress shooting" techniques. Topics include: grip, stance, sight alignment, trigger press, reload techniques, draw stroke and malfunction clearing techniques. This course meets the requirements for the Maine Concealed Firearms Permit. State Application Packets for permits are provided at the course. HG01 is also recommended to serve as refresher training to maintain basic proficiency with the handgun. It is ideal for the private citizen and may serve certain security professionals and military personnel who are required to re-qualify on a pistol range on a limited basis.
You can download the State Police booklet and application below. CFP Applications are submitted by Maine residents to your municipality if they have a Police Department or if the Town Selectmen have designated an official to issue permits on their behalf. Non-residents and those without local authorities submit applications to the State Police. If you plan to submit your application to your local Police Department or Town Selectmen, get your application from them. State Police form below is for submission to State Police only and have issuing authority info pre-printed with Maine State Police info. Submitting these to your local authorities will slow down your application.
