concealed carry
multi state ccw
Why do you need a Multi State CCW if you already have a CCW for California? This is a great option for those who like to travel! A Utah Concealed Firearm Permit will allow you to legally carry in numerous states that CA does not allow. By having a CA CCW along with a Utah CCW, you can “almost” take a road trip while concealed carrying nationwide. (Please double check the reciprocity map)
This class trains you for your Multi State (Utah) non-resident Concealed Firearm Permit. You do not need to have a California CCW to obtain this permit.
The class is inclusive of the curriculum mandated by the Utah Department of Public Safety (BCI). The State of Utah requires that any non-resident CCW applicant receive their mandated training, provided by an Utah State Certified Instructor. Set Free Sidearm Training instructors are certified by the state of Utah.
There is no live fire in this course.
