How To Get A 34 State Utah Concealed Carry License & Permit
The process is super simple. You basically take a class and mail off for the permit. No need to register your guns or even have a gun. No need to qualify with a firearm.
I am in Northern California. I took a class with this instructor:
Alpha Safety Training
Jim Doc Amentler
I took it at the following location:
J & R Sports Supply LLC
2558 Old First St,
Livermore, CA 94550
Phone: (925) 443-9691
J & R Sports Supply LLC has been having Jim Doc Amentler with Alpha Safety Training do this course here at this location for a long time.
The course was amazing. Doc kept us all awake during the entire class. Taught us what we needed to know in an engaging way. He even brought us coffee, breakfast and lunch!
So take the 6 hour course on Utah Firearm Safety & Concealed Carry. After the class he will pretty much take care of everything.
We needed fingerprint cards – that was included
We needed Passport photos – that was included
He gave us a certificate of completion.
You need a copy of your drivers license
And the Utah application for concealed firearm permit
He walked us thru all the forms and everything was filled out before we left class. He even gave us an addressed envelope to send everything in with out names printed on it.
He went above and beyond with this class.
