Virginia/Utah Non-Resident Concealed Carry Class
Virginia/Utah Concealed Carry Class Overview
Are you looking to take responsibility for your personal safety but aren't sure where to start? If you do not yet have your Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) or if you already have your Virginia CHP and want to get your Utah Non-Resident Concealed Carry Permit, this class is designed specifically for you!
Why should you consider obtaining the Utah Non-Resident CCP in addition to the Virginia CHP? The Utah Non-Resident Concealed Firearm Permit (CFP) is one of the most highly sought-after concealed carry permits in the United States. Due to Utah’s extensive reciprocity agreements, currently adding the Utah permit to your Virginia permit legally allows you to carry in over 37 states across the country.
Led by professional instructors who are Utah and NRA Certified, this single-evening, classroom only, session provides the critical knowledge required to safely and legally carry a concealed handgun in every state recognized by Virginia and Utah for concealed carry. This comprehensive course is officially approved by the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI). Whether you travel frequently for work, vacation across state borders, or simply want to maximize your legal carry footprint, this class is for you!
Please Note: There is no live-fire requirement or shooting range qualification required for either permit.
