WHAT TO EXPECT AT OUR CLASSES
Our concealed carry classes are 5.5-hour classes that you only attend once. If you’re worried that it’s going to be all PowerPoint and talking, don’t be. We do go over questions, scenarios, and different approaches, but the classes are also hands-on, allowing you to put what you learn into action. There are about 10 to 20 people per class, so you can trust that you’ll get the personal, one-on-one attention you deserve.
Note: Before you schedule this class, we recommend taking our basic pistol class.

BENEFITS OF GOING THROUGH A CONCEALED CARRY CLASS | GRESHAM, OR
TRAVEL EASIER
If you have a concealed carry permit, you can take your gun with you from state to state (based on the permit). For instance, Oregon concealed carry licenses are recognized by 11 states, and Utah recognizes 30+ states.
That means that if you have a concealed carry license in Oregon and live in Gresham, you can’t bring your firearm on the Washington side without being licensed in Utah as well. Utah covers Oregon and Washington, so if you get licensed in Utah, you can go to Washington without worry–and bring your firearm with you.
Please look up state laws for carrying in your state to be compliant while traveling with your concealed firearm.
BUY A GUN SOONER
When you get a concealed carry permit, there’s less waiting to buy your gun. That means that you can get the gun you want faster. (In case you didn’t know, Advance Firearm and Training is a Gresham gun dealer and is certified for FFL transfers!)
GET A SECOND FORM OF IDENTIFICATION
Your concealed carry license includes your name, photo, home address, height, weight, and date of birth. It is a valid form of ID that can be used in numerous ways when you need two forms of identification.
