Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) – 8-hour course
Regular price - $285.00
Our 8-hour Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) course is designed to satisfy the requirements of the State of California in order to obtain a CCW in Contra Costa County. Please check the current regulations in your county in order to qualify to receive a CCW. (Links to county applications are listed below).
This is not an entry level course. It is expected that students are proficient in the use of their firearm. Attendance of the CCW course alone does not guarantee successful passing of the class. Contra Costa County requires applicants to also qualify with the Sheriff at their range, using a holster and a course of fire which is timed. If you are new to firearms and have little training in the proper use of a firearm, it is strongly recommended that you take our Pistol Safety and Fundamentals class prior to taking this CCW course.
Reminder, with all issuing authorities, you still have to pass a background check to be issued a CCW in California. If you fail to pass the background check, your CCW application will be denied. If you take this training course prior to being approved, there are no refunds if you are denied.
