CA, AZ & Utah Multi-State CCW Course

This course satisfies the 16-hour Required CCW Course as approved by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, serviced cities of Los Angeles County (check www.myccw.us to see if your city is listed) and the State of California to obtain a Concealed Carry Weapon Permit (CCW).  It also includes the ARIZONA & UTAH CCWs which add 36 reciprocating states to your CCW permit.  The course consists of 2 concurrent 8-hour days of classroom instruction and hands-on practical qualification.  For the California CCW, you will be required to fire your firearm on a Sheriff’s designated range. To qualify, applicants must arrive with the skills and abilities necessary to draw from a concealed location, engage a target from three different distances, and receive a passing score of 70% or better. Your manipulation of the firearm will also be evaluated for safe practices. There is no shooting requirement for the AZ/UT CCW portion of the class.
