Important Information:
American Concealed provides the required firearms safety training for the states we serve. We are not a government agency and do not issue carry permits. Your county or state licensing authority makes the final decision on permit issuance. Your certificate confirms you've completed the required training—it is not a carry permit. You are responsible for meeting all eligibility requirements and completing the permit application process.
