How much do the Concealed Carry Classes cost?

The class price for the basic concealed carry course is $60. We also have guns available for rental starting at $10 (including ammunition).


How long is the Concealed Carry class? Is the entire class completed within the same day?

Classes run eight hours, including both the classroom and range portions of the class (class and range are at the same location in south Broken Arrow). Classes are completed the same day except where otherwise noted on the schedule.

We usually hold classes on the weekend - your choice of a Saturday or a Sunday. Classes run from 8:00 AM until 4:00 PM. See our Class Schedule page for a full list. Our regularly scheduled classes are held at our classroom facility right right at our range, at 15302 S. 193rd E. Ave., which is a half mile south of 151st, just off 193rd (County Line) in Broken Arrow. See our Range Info page for specific directions.

Mobile classes' locations are flexible, depending on student needs. We do hold mobile classes in the Tulsa area, and we can additionally travel anywhere in Oklahoma to meet your scheduling and location needs as requlred.

Having no prior firearms experience or limited firearms experience when signing up for the Concealed Carry Class is no problem whatsoever - the Concealed Carry Class is actually specifically designed as a beginner's class by the state. It grades you only on Gun Safety. We cover everything you need to know to get started with concealed carry in class, and we also share a number of free informational resources to get you up to speed. Many individuals take this class as an introduction to firearms. Regardless of your skill level, we will never talk down to you about guns - we've all had to learn about something new at some point or another in our lives, and this subject is no different. Learning about firearms and concealed carry is like learning how to drive a car - there is no magic to it, it's an acquired skill set that comes with time, patience, and perfect practice. The concealed carry class is designed to get you where you need to be, and relatively comfortable with beginning concealed carry by the end, even if you've never even handled a gun before the class. Please let us know during the sign-up process if you are new to guns so we can arrange additional instruction for you the day of class.

We have rental semi-automatic pistols available starting at $9.99, which includes the fifty rounds of ammo necessary for qualification, and we do fully cover their operation in class, so it is not a problem if you do not have your own pistol at the time of the class. Please note that the firearm you qualify with does not necessarily have to be the one you carry, as there is no Firearms registration in Oklahoma, though we do obviously recommend to practice as much with your intended carry gun as possible.
Additionally, there is no minimum caliber requlrement on what you can qualify with and carry. The only restriction on caliber is that it must be .45 caliber or less, which is mandated by the SDA statutes. In Oklahoma, you do not qualify with a specific caliber, model or make of firearm...you only qualify with a type (semi-automatic, revolver, or derringer - see section immediately below for further details) - and qualifying with a semi-automatic firearm qualifies you for all three. It is perfectly acceptable to qualify with a .22 or any other caliber you want, and carry another firearm which is a larger or smaller caliber, and/or even of a different make or model.

Yes, we keep 9mm and .22 ammunition on hand, and is available for purchase. If you have another caliber, please make arrangements before class.

Yes. The Oklahoma SDA (Self Defense Act) statute recognizes three categories of handguns: derringer, revolver, and semi-automatic. In order to carry all three of these categories of pistols, you must qualify with a semi-automatic. If you only qualify with a revolver, you will only be certified to carry revolvers and derringers, and if you qualify with a derringer, you will only be able to carry derringers. For this reason, we will qualify you with a semi-automatic even if you intend to carry a revolver or derringer - there is no extra cost or paperwork to qualify with a semi-auto, and we will fully cover their function in class. Then you can decide for yourself what kind of firearm you would like to carry, rather than being limited to one type.

The state mandates that you will be graded purely on safety for the fifty-round shooting qualification portion of class, not on accuracy. We do highly recommend that you continue your training to improve your proficiency and accuracy with your pistol, and practice what we teach you as much as you can on an ongoing basis both before and after the class to improve your accuracy. Check out our other courses by clicking here, and ask us about our special combo rates for taking your Concealed Carry Class with one or more other classes we offer.

We cover the legalities of concealed carry, what the License is and isn't, the legal standard for the justifiable use of force, discuss some personal experiences with concealed carry, share some free informational resources for concealed carry, and gun safety, both in the classroom and down at the range. You will be shooting 50 rounds for range qualification - again, you will be graded on safety, not accuracy. We also help you fill out the SDA (Concealed Carry) application, and completing the application process, as well as some travelling with your license, and a many other important items.
You will have a great time in class - we make everything not only educational, but entertaining as well - you will learn a ton and have a great time, to boot! Don't just take our word for it - click on our Testimonials page link above for student feedback on our classes!

In terms of the necessary requirements to get your carry license, from start to finish: you take a training class and get the training certificate - (state-mandated maximum cost of $60), you fill out your application (we will help you fill these out in class together at the beginning of class for your convenience - you can download or order these application packets and lawbooks at the following link: OSBI Concealed Weapons Licensing, you get two passport photos, which will be anywhere from $8-$10 depending where you get them (Walgreen's, Wal-Mart, your Sheriff's office, etc.), you get two money orders for $25 and $100, one for your local Sheriff's office and one for the OSBI for your local/state and federal background checks respectively, you take everything to your local county sheriff's office (example: Broken Arrow is Tulsa County, so the downtown Tulsa County Sheriff's Office in that instance), they fingerprint you, they put your fingerprint cards back with your application along with your passport photos, money orders, and training certificate, the sheriff's office mails it to the OSBI for you, and typically about 60-80 days later you receive a letter that your license is ready for pickup at your local sheriff's office, and you pick up your new license from them.

All in all, the whole licensing process is about $185-$195 the first time including the cost of the class. The license is good for five years, and $95 thereafter for every subsequent five years when your license comes up for renewal ($85 + new passport photos). That's less than $20 a year for a renewal, and less than $40 a year for the initial license. Effective November 1st of this year, you can get a 10-year license and license renewal for double the fee to the OSBI ($200 for a new license and $170 for a renewal).

All this may sound a little overwhelming at first, but we email you a checklist after class to make completing the licensing process as simple as possible.

The main four categories of crime convictions that will stop you from receiving your concealed carry license are any sort of felony conviction, even a non-violent felony, any sort of drug or drug-related conviction, even a misdemeanor paraphernalia conviction, any sort of domestic violence conviction, or any sort of mental illness that required involuntary commitment to a mental institution. There are a few other items such as repeat DUIs within the last 3 years, but these are the main four categories.

Yes; provided you remember your class date, cost is $20. Please visit our signup page here and select "Replacement "CCW Certificate" - https://carrylegal.com/register.php.

Tardiness/absenteeism for classes is not permitted, and will result in a rescheduling fee or forfeiture of your class tuition. Classes start promptly at the noted times (usually 8:00 AM), so plan on arriving no later than 15 minutes before that time. Class doors open 30 minutes before class start time.

We do understand that unforseen circumstances come up from time to time, and for that reason, we do offer one courtesy reschedule to a later class at no additional charge, provided you notify us in a timely manner (described below) BEFORE class, so we can fill these slots with other individuals from waiting lists. If you notify aftr the required time, there will be a rescheduling fee assessed. The required advance notice times are -

For the Concealed Carry (SDA) Classes - specific time depends on how quickly a given class books to capacity, but no later than 12:00 PM the Thursday before your class,

For the advanced courses (beyond SDA class) - specific time depends on how quickly a given course books to capacity, but no less than three weeks advance notice is required to avoid incurring tuition forfeiture.

Typically, the advance notice required to reschedule will be included in the confirmation email sent out before class.

Note that we do not offer refunds for any classes or training, as scheduling your slot in the class still costs us time and money, whether or not you actually attend the date you're scheduled for. We do however offer a satisfaction guarantee on our classes - you will get the information you need and have a great time!

We have set up "Floater" registrations for those who would like to register for a class but are unsure what date will work for them. This allows anyone to take advantage of any limited-time special offers without committing to a date. You will have one year from the date of registration to select your class date. After you register, simply email or call us with your preferred date, and we will get you scheduled into any available course.
