MN Permit to Carry Class (CCW)

Our mission with the MN Permit to Carry (CCW) training is to give you the information you need in order to stay out of prison and the skills you need to stay safe. We cover applicable MN laws and provide a multi-state approved basic firearms course.

Upon completion you will have a clear understanding of the use of deadly force in the protection of yourself, others and your home.  Knowing when, why, and where you are legal to use deadly force is critical to stay out of prison. You will also learn how handguns work, how to operate them safely and efficiently, and other critical information you need to survive an attack.

This training meets and EXCEEDS firearm training requirements for concealed weapon permits (CCW) for MN, AZ, FL, and other states!  Minnesota multi-state CCW permits offer coverage throughout many states - visit our FAQ page for more information.
