What does the 1-Day CCW Handgun Course consist of?

The course consists of both range work and classroom activities. On the range you will become proficient at presenting your weapon from a concealed holster and guaranteeing fight-stopping hits. In the classroom we will guide you through the applications necessary to secure your CCW permits.

Does the price of the course include the permit application fees?

No. You need to bring money orders to cover the state fees. See the CCW course description for additional information.

How much does Florida charge to apply and who do I make the money orders out to?

$117 made payable to the "Florida Department of State"

Do I need a concealment garment for the CCW Course?

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.

How long will it take to get my permits?

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.

How do I receive my Florida and Utah permits?

The permits are mailed directly to you.

Which states will I apply for CCW permits in?

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

What states will I be able to legally carry a concealed handgun in?

"With all three permits you will be able to legally carry a concealed handgun in the at least 30 states. See the 1-Day CCW course description for a list of the states."

What if I live in Clark County, Nevada?

We will gladly sign and notarize your Clark County CCW application (which you provided) but you will still have to complete the process with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (Metro). This means you must make an appointment with Metro to get your fingerprints and photographs taken. If you live in Clark County, you cannot apply for a CCW in Nye County.

What if I am a Nevada resident but live somewhere besides Nye or Clark Counties?

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.

How many handguns may I qualify with?

We will qualify you with up to two weapons. If you choose to qualify with two weapons, you will obviously need to bring ammunition for both weapons to Front Sight.

How much ammunition do I need?

You will need 100-150 rounds per weapon for the CCW day.

May I qualify with a Front Sight rental weapon?

No.

May a husband and wife team qualify with only one weapon?

Yes.

How difficult are the written and shooting tests to get my CCW?

They are very simple. Very few people have difficulty passing the tests.

Do I need to qualify with the ammunition I intend to carry?

No. You may qualify with any factory-made, full-metal jacket or jacketed hollow point ammunition.
