Code Green’s Concealed Carry Theory Class is a mandatory part of qualifying for an Arizona or Florida concealed weapons permit.
If you are applying for a FL permit, you will also need to take a brief practical range class which we can do with you on an ad hoc basis either on the same day or at a convenient alternate time.
You do not need any formal training at all to receive a Washington state permit, but we urge you to take this class if you are ever going to get any concealed carry permit, anywhere.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse, and if you find yourself not knowing how and when to use your concealed weapon, there’s every good chance you’ll not use it when you could and should, or that you’ll use it wrongly when you shouldn’t – both being situations that threaten enormously negative outcomes to you and possibly to other people too.
If you should want a Utah permit, well, we’ll try to talk you out of it! Utah requires a dedicated class with a prime focus on UT state laws; being as how most people want a UT permit not so much to carry in UT as to carry in other states, we feel it better to get an AZ or FL permit. And if all you want to do is to carry concealed in UT, all you need for that is a WA concealed permit.
Our concealed carry theory class helps you to understand your rights and your obligations; where and when you both can and can’t carry (either concealed or open carry), how these rules vary from state to state, plus also an understanding of when using deadly force may or may not be justifiable.
We also cover issues such as how to avoid the potential for a confrontation, what brandishing is and how to avoid it, and discuss some of the many different options and choices open to you in terms of choosing both a pistol to carry concealed and some type of a holstering system to use with it. An essential part of this section of the class is a discussion on how to safely carry concealed.
We go through which states recognize which permits and how to get additional permits for other states that aren’t covered by the permits you’ll be receiving, and how to travel, either by car or by plane, with firearms.
You’ll end the class with a much better understanding of the issues, concerns, and obligations associated with carrying concealed, and assuming you pass the test, you’ll receive a certificate accepted by AZ and FL (with a range endorsement added) for purposes of their granting you their concealed carry permits.
To make it ultra-convenient for you, we also provide you a complete set of application paperwork for AZ and FL permits, and will do regulation fingerprint cards and photographs for your applications too (the additional $20 fee covers these extra services if you need them).
You will also need to send payment with your application to the AZ or FL licensing departments – this is not included in the $125 fee. Currently, AZ charges $60 for a five-year permit and FL charges $117 for a seven-year permit.
As always, we stand behind the quality of our training, and your satisfaction, with our guarantee. But please note this guarantee does not guarantee you will pass this course, you’ll need to carefully pay attention and to participate properly in order to do that!
