Thank you for your interest in our courses—and more importantly, for your commitment to becoming a safe and responsible firearm owner.
Our Arizona Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) class is a non-shooting course that fully satisfies the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) training requirement to obtain a CCW permit.
What the Course Covers:
This in-depth class is designed to give you essential knowledge and tools for responsible concealed carry. Topics include:
-
Defensive pistol selection
-
Legal use of force and firearm laws
-
Situational awareness and what to do before, during, and after a defensive incident
-
Firearms safety and ownership basics
-
Ethical and legal responsibilities of concealed carry
Instructor Credentials:
Our instructors bring a diverse range of credentials and real-world experience to the classroom. They are certified by respected organizations such as the USCCA, NRA, and Front Sight, and many come from backgrounds in the military, law enforcement, and other highly trained professions.
You’re learning from qualified, passionate educators who are united by one mission: to equip everyday people with the knowledge and confidence to be safe, responsible gun owners.
Why Get a CCW in a Constitutional Carry State?
While Arizona allows permitless concealed carry, there are several key advantages to having a CCW permit:
-
Reciprocity – Many other states recognize the Arizona CCW, including Nevada. This means you can legally carry in those states with your permit.
-
Federal School Zone Law Compliance – Federal law (18 USC 922(q)(2)(A)) restricts carrying a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school unless you have a state-issued permit like the AZ CCW.
-
Faster Firearm Purchases – A valid CCW allows for quicker processing when purchasing firearms.
-
Legal Protection – A CCW demonstrates proactive training and responsibility, which can help in court if you’re ever involved in a defensive incident.
-
Carry in Alcohol-Serving Establishments – The permit allows you to carry concealed in places that serve alcohol (as long as you’re not drinking).
-
City, State, and National Parks – A valid CCW is required to legally carry a firearm into city, state, and national parks within Arizona.
Fingerprinting and Fees
-
Fingerprinting: Required for your CCW application. We’ll have an onsite technician offering fingerprinting for $20 (not included in the course fee).
-
Application Fee: Arizona DPS requires a $60 money order or cashier’s check submitted any time after the course.
Note: DPS does not accept fingerprint clearance cards—even from DPS itself or federal agencies. You must submit new fingerprint cards.
