From first-time applicant to licensed, lawful carrier
This is where it starts. Over one weekend in Ossining, you’ll learn New York’s carry laws in plain language, how to handle and store a handgun safely, and the judgment that comes with carrying one. The following Sunday, you’ll put it to work on the range. It’s the course New York State and NYC require for a concealed carry license, taught by instructors who have trained more than 3,000 New Yorkers.
What you’ll leave with
✅ New York carry law in plain language: where you can carry, where you can’t, and what’s expected of you as a license holder
✅ Safe handling and storage: habits you’ll use every day you carry
✅ A smooth four-step draw: from the holster, coached by an instructor
✅ Your live-fire qualification: completed on the range with an instructor beside you
✅ Your course certificate: ready for your license application
🔹 Optional, the Utah 30-state permit for $125: everything you need to submit your application. No need to decide now; we’ll explain it in class and you can opt in then.
