CCDL NEEDS YOU!
As announced at the Rally at the Capitol 2023, CCDL is developing a new firearms course to meet the new qualifiers for the Connecticut pistol permit process. Given the vast community of over 400,000 gunowners in the state of Connecticut, we want to give YOU an opportunity to be showcased in our content.
We’re looking to compile photos for reference in our course, various firearms, firing positions, and the like to display safe firearms handling and mechanics. The chosen entries will be awarded with free CCDL swag and credits for the photographs in the course.
To participate!
1. Participants must be a CCDL member, preferably wearing CCDL apparel or unbranded clothing, with their face visible in the photo where applicable (any photos featuring people).
2. Photos must be to model one of the needed subjects (see below), participants can submit any amount of the needed photos.
