CCW Class FAQ - Click To Expand
Are the free classes free?
Yes. The free classes are free. We cannot control what ranges charge for their services, but our free ccw classes are free. Please donate.
Which Class Should I Attend?
As of July 1st, 2025 you will need 8 hours of arbitrary class time. You will have to attend any combination of classroom + range time, or all range time. This can be split up into different days.
But will I get a certificate to apply for my CCW (CHP)?
Yes. You will get the required certificate to apply and obtain your CCW (CHP). This is true for all handgun classes we provide. This does not apply to non-handgun classes (e.g., medical classes, mental health seminars)
But is this accepted in my county?
Yes. This is a state permit, issued by your local sheriff/chief. Because it is a state permit, the requirements are set by the state, not your sheriff/chief.
How much do the free classes cost?
The free classes do not cost the student anything. Again, ranges that we use will charge you a fee, but that has nothing to do with us.
Are you actually certified?
Yes. Certified through Guns For Everyone National and the NRA.
How long is the certificate good for?
Starting July 2025 certificates will be valid for one year.
How do I get a replacement certificate?
You can do that here: Request New Certificate
How long is the class?
That information is in the class description of each individual class registration page. The class registration page will provide you with valuable class information.
How old do I have to be to attend the class?
Although you must be 21 to obtain the permit, we do not care how old you are. All ages are welcome. Maturity and positive learning attitude is what matters.
What is needed for the class?
For the classroom portion nothing is needed. For the range portion please check the individual class registration page.
I don't have my ID, is that okay?
Yeah. We don’t perform the background checks, we simply provide the training, and we don’t care about IDs. When you apply you will need it, but not to attend the class.
I heard you use bad words.
If you attend a class with Edgar, there will definitely be a lot of bad words.
How long is the permit valid for?
The concealed handgun permit is valid for 5 years, and starting July 1st, 2025 you will need a refresher class to renew your permit.
Do you offer Refresher Classes?
Any of our range/defensive shooting classes will qualify as a refresher.
Can I bring my child?
Please check with the instructor. You can reply to the class emails. In general, the answer is yes as long as your child is behaved. Every circumstance and venue is different so please get confirmation with the instructor.
