Class & Permit FAQs
How Are You The BEST Concealed Carry Class?
Don’t be duped by other classes that are only 3 hours long, have low-class fees, require you to shoot on the range, or other promises. Our slogan of being Utah’s BEST concealed carry class is simple. We are unmatched by any other concealed carry class in the United States.
Top 5 Reasons Our Concealed Carry Class Is The BEST You Can Find
- Our instructors are among the most highly experienced and knowledgeable in the industry. We exceed the Utah requirements and our class is taught through lecture, PowerPoint presentations, and visual demonstrations to meet the needs of all students and to ensure our students will be able to understand and retain the importance of the information.
- After the class, we give all our students access to everything taught in our class so even after you leave and have your permit, you won’t ever have to worry about trying to remember everything we talked about. No other class gives their students this much information.
- We know that laws are very difficult to understand so our instructors have extensive knowledge of the laws and we take the time to explain them. Our comprehensive explanation of the carrying of firearms, self-defense, and firearm laws combined with our network of websites have continued to be the BEST resources for Utah. We encourage our students to get involved in discussions and always take extra time to answer questions and include information to be able to protect yourself from criminal and civil actions against you if you ever have to use any type of force to protect yourself or others.
- We have created the BEST websites for the state of Utah which includes utahcarrylaws.com providing all Utah and Federal firearm laws, shooting ranges, gun shows, and much more. Our Facebook group Utah Carry Laws is the ONLY place on any social media platform that answers all Utah gun law questions.
- We receive calls from people across the United States with questions about the Utah permits and gun laws. The 5 Star Reviews our past students have given us about our training speak for themselves.
As a result, there is no other company or instructor in the entire country that provides anything close to the amount of important information about our state, then we do and in fact, there are a lot of instructors across Utah and the country who get information to put on their websites and use to teach in their training classes from our network of websites.
How Much Does The Class Cost?
Our class usually costs $40 which includes everything you need to apply for the Utah concealed firearm permit but may change due to the location or number of students. The cost of taking the course is always outlined in each class scheduled on our training calendar.
