This class truly should be called a basic firearms course of instruction. One that will develop any lack of skills and will enhance the skill sets of the intermediate to advanced shooters. This will be done through a basic course of shooting exercises and training. As we have said before we welcome those that have never touched a firearm before as you will have so much fun learning; and we welcome the more advanced shooter as you will enjoy the challenge of refining your skill sets.

There are classes out there that will throw you through a book, offer a test and then run a short firearms drill that in some cases may not even require “live firing”.  That is not our program.

If someone asks you to participate in this format or class that does not provide a service to you, the customer, they need to be reported to the Washoe county Sheriffs office. They can be reached at (775) 328-3348 or via email at records@washoesheriff.com  (if in this county) or you can report them to the Nevada Sheriffs and Chief Association at: http://www.nvsca.com/.

We at Concealed Defense take this very seriously and you should too.

For that cost you get the CCW certification via a minimum 8 hour basic handgun course that offers(Classroom/Range time) instruction and skill set exercise. Then you will have an open invitation to any shoot date to work out any opportunities you feel you may have.

Additionally, that one time fee covers a lifetime of renewals and weapon add on’s. Meaning anytime you want to add a new weapon just call us up and we will arrange it with you.

Prior to your permit expiring we will contact you and let you know the process for renewal.

All you have to do is take the class, and we will do the rest for you.

How Do I Get a CCW Permit?

A concealed weapon permit may be obtained by a Nevada resident who is 21 years of age or older by:

1. Successfully completing a CCW course like this one approved by the Washoe County Sheriff.

2. Completing the forms provided by the Sheriff’s Office (that we will provide upon completion of the course) and submit them with the appropriate fee.  A set of fingerprints and photograph will be taken, as well as certain other information, such as your driver’s license number.

3. Upon the successful completion of the background check, a concealed weapon permit will be issued to you for the handguns you have specified in your application.

Once you have completed our course you will have everything in your hands that you need to drive straight to the Sheriffs office and apply. It's that simple...

California Residents:

This class is open to residents of any state. We have a large number of California residents who take the course to obtain a Nevada CCW. Nevada does recognize out of state residents who wish to posess a Nevada concealed firearm. All the information contained in this website applies to those residents unless otherwise stated.
