Effective 1/1/2021, online classes are NO LONGER ACCEPTED in Virginia. In-Person training is required to get certified.



No experience?? NO PROBLEM!!

You do NOT need to own a firearm or have any experience to take this course. Heck, you don't even need to want a Concealed Carry Permit. Several of our students take it to learn the basics so they feel more comfortable around guns. Everyone is welcome!

To date, Virginia has issued over 600,000 permits. Don’t allow yourself or your family to become victims! You should be empowered to protect yourself. You have a responsibility and an obligation to protect your family. You also need to know how to handle firearms safely.


YOU have a Right & Responsibility

Do you know the laws that define self-defense and when you are legally justified in using force against another person? If not, this course is extremely important for you! Don’t let a bad situation get worse because you didn’t prepare yourself, educate yourself and your family.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need handgun/firearm experience to take the class?

NO! We start with the basics and focus on the fundamentals. This is a perfect course for someone who doesn’t have a lot of experience shooting.

Is there any live-fire during this training?

Nope, this is all classroom based. We definitely recommend you get some hands-on practice before carrying concealed but that isn’t part of the course and isn’t required to get your permit.

What should I bring?

Bring a pen in case you want to take notes and maybe a snack or drink, but otherwise you won’t need to bring anything. In fact, I ask that for safety purposes you leave your firearms at home. Don’t get me wrong, it’s just that we do some demonstrations with a training handgun and it’s critical that we maintain a safe training environment.

What if I can’t make it?

Cancel your reservation or let us know as soon as possible. As long as we can fill your spot (which is usually very easy to do) we will give you a full refund. We can also get you into another class, or set you up to complete it online. As long as you communicate with us, we will work with you. If you just don’t show up, we can’t give you a refund because you took the spot of someone else who would have been in class.

What if I am unhappy with the course?

It hasn’t happened yet but we would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your course, let our instructor know before you leave with your certification. We will issue you a full refund, but we won’t be able to certify you. Part of the cost of the class and certification come with ongoing access to our resources and the insurance we need for you to be certified under our name.

What is the minimum age in Virginia to get a concealed carry permit?

The minimum age to carry concealed in Virginia is 21. That said, there is NO minimum age to take this course. We cover firearm safety and fundamentals which is important for everyone, regardless of age.

Does Virginia issue concealed carry permits to non-residents?

YES! Virginia does offer a non-resident permit to residents of ALL 50 states! You don’t have to be a Virginia resident to take our class.

How long is the Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit valid for?

The initial permit is valid for 5 years and can be renewed in-person or by mail.
