The course consists of both range work and classroom activities combining our 4-Day Defensive Handgun, Advanced Tactical Handgun, and 1-Day CCW Courses. On the range you will become proficient at presenting your weapon from a concealed holster and guaranteeing fight-stopping hits. Additionally, you will learn how to use your weapon from arms length to 100 yards and while moving to cover or concealment. In the classroom we will guide you through the applications necessary to secure your CCW permits.

Yes. Bring a jacket or similar garment. It may be either open in front (i.e. windbreaker, blazer, etc.) or closed in front (i.e. sweatshirt or untucked T-shirt). Do not bring a fanny pack, shoulder holster, ankle holster, purse holster, etc. Although these are common forms of concealed carry, they are not suitable for safe range use.

Securing a CCW permit is a lengthy, bureaucratic process. Florida and Utah can take up to three months while Nevada can take up to six months.

The permits are mailed directly to you.

You will be notified by letter that the permit is ready. Then you must pick up the permit in person at the Nye County Sheriff's Office in Pahrump, Nevada. Nye County requests that you pick up your permit in person because you must sign the permit and have one additional photograph taken. This cannot be done at Front Sight.

You may apply for permits from Nevada, Utah, and Florida or any combination of these that you like.

You will have to pursue a CCW permit in your county of residence. We still encourage you to apply for your Florida and Utah permits.
