Looking to get my concealed permit and need to take the course. I am in Salem. Does the county put this on or are private courses available? Thank you in advance.

Private courses are available. Look in your local paper there are usually several advertisements in the gun section.

I took a course two weeks ago in Independence, Or. $40 and 3 hours.
Instructor was Jim Jacobe, he does classes in salem quite a bit.

Ole's gun shop used to do them but I'm not sure that he does them anymore. I'm sure if you give him a call he can at least help you out with who to call. Also, there is a sign on Cordon Rd just north of Center St. that advertises CCW courses.

I hear really good things about Jim.

I too took the Concealed handgun class from Jim, he offers classes for the Oregon permit every thursday at his shop around 6pm, do a google search with his name, and you will find his website. Call him though to make sure that he will be teaching what ever week you pick. the class I believe is $35 bucks.

I took the class as a refresher a few years ago when Shooters Merchantile was still open....Very good class.

I have taken Jim Jacobe's course, and he is good. If you just want to jump through the hoops, and learn the legalities, go to one of his classes.

If you want a little more, check out Oregon Firearms Academy
www.oregonfirearmsacademy.com/

They have more extensive courses that include range time, and use a variety of instructors to teach about the mental/physical aspects of self defense, the legal aspects, and the law enforcement perspective with a team of highly qualified instructors. Their class is a full day class at a very nice private facility in Brownsville (about 45 min drive).
I have taken 2 of their classes and highly recommend this route.
