FAQ's for New Mexico Concealed Carry issues.

Do you want a license without any real life training?  Most of us get a CCW permit so that we can carry for personal protection for ourselves and our family.  Summit Self Defense provides training to meet the state requirements of the NM CCW law but we also include our Israeli gun deployment system so that our students can meet potentially violent situations with confidence.  Most of our classes are taught in a semi-private format because our students get more out of the training.  We have a number of choices of range facilities in Albuquerque to meet our student's needs.

Contact Instructor Ryan Fellows on his cellular phone 505-463-7820 or toll free 877-260-3773.  We give classes weekly and can schedule a time that is convenient for you. Robb Hamic also instructs at our New Mexico Schools. 

We have plenty of ammunition and we sell out students enough ammunition for our classes at retail prices and large quantities.  Many places in New Mexico are sold out of handgun ammunition and people can't find it for sale.
