(or $150 as Add on to California CCW Course)
The goal of this course is to fulfill all of the initial training requirements of the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification/Utah Department of Public Safety which will grant the student a completed (with Instructor’s Red Stamp) Application. Additionally, this course will complete the packet for a Utah Non-Resident Concealed Firearm Permit (CFP) and assist the student in applying for the online Florida Non-Resident Concealed Weapon License (CWL) and physical application Packet for the student to mail.
A Utah CFP allows you to carry a concealable firearm in up to 33 states, but NOT California (You still MUST have a California CCW Permit to carry in California.). This Course includes no range time. Additionally, we assist the student to assemble the application package for the Florida Non-Resident Concealed Weapon License (CWL). The Florida CWL can only be applied for once a student has received their California CCW, and files the necessary additional paperwork. In combining the California CCW + Utah CFP + Florida CWL, (as of 05/27/2023) students will be able to carry a concealable handgun in up to 37 states!
With our courses for the combined California CCW, Utah CFP and Florida CWL we strive to give students the information, basic skills, and mindset needed to safely and effectively carry and use a handgun for self defense all in a safe, friendly, and non-militant environment. This class is a Private Class and is taught one-on-one with the instructor at the student’s convenience and location. Availability is 7 days a week, 8am to 9pm. Call or email to schedule your class!!
