2024 CCW courses are subject to change based on the recent updates brought by Senate Bill 2 (SB2) in California. The course format may also depend on potential legal challenges to SB2.
SB2 has introduced significant amendments to the regulations governing Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permits. In response to these changes, we are actively reviewing and updating our CCW courses to align with the new requirements.
As we work to finalize these adjustments, please be aware that there may be changes to the schedule, content, or structure of the CCW courses. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility during this transition.
This course is mandatory for obtaining your initial CCW (Concealed Carry Weapon) License. Topics include safety, marksmanship, liabilities, stance, statistics, the path to choosing a defensive handgun and caliber combination, and much more. This course includes a written and shooting evaluation and is our basic level defensive handgun course. This is offered at least twice a month. Class time will allow for 1 Handgun to be qualified. To qualify additional handguns, please look to the CCW Handgun Qualification Class. CCW course is good for Kern and Riverside counties.

If you’re looking for a place to take your initial CCW course this is it! Robert is a phenomenal instructor and person. He will teach you what the state requires and SOO much more! He thoroughly explains everything and emphasizes safety at every turn along the way. This course will teach you tons, make you search your soul and think about some very serious things, and leave you wanting to continue to learn more by taking the more advanced courses.
