Also check our facebook page.
****************************************************************

Note: Our New and Renew CCW Classes are approved for the following Counties: Nevada, Placer, Sierra, and Yuba.

In order to provide the most efficient CCW Class experience, we request that all CCW students start here to select a CCW class.

After you obtain a CCW Permit, you might want to improve your handgun skills with our Defensive Handgun Class – “B-Prepared”.

*NOTE:  Attending any CCW permit class sponsored by The Range does not in any way guarantee receipt of a CCW permit. The issuing of a CCW permit is subject to your local authority and may be accepted or refuted at their discretion**.  If the attendee is ineligible or denied, The Range will not issue a refund for the course.

†You need 50 rounds of manufactured jacketed ammo to practice with the gun of your choice, then 30 rounds jacketed ammunition for qualification for each gun.  If you are bringing more than one firearm, you must bring ammunition for all of the calibers you need to qualify.  The course of fire may be viewed here.

** IAW CA Attorney General Legal Alert of June 24,2022:  “… effective immediately, issuing authorities should no longer require proof of good cause for the issuance of a public-carry license. Issuing authorities may still inquire into an applicant’s reasons for desiring a license to the extent those reasons are relevant to other lawful considerations, but denial of a license for lack of “good cause” now violates the Second and Fourteenth Amendments under the Supreme Court’s decision in Bruen.”

RENEW California CCW Permit Course – $115.00 8 hours

This course is required for those individuals who already possess a California CCW Permit and are approaching their permit expiration date. This course must be taken every 2 years, and can only be attended a maximum of 60 days prior to the expiration date on your permit*. This course will update the permit holder on any new laws or regulations, review safety and shooting fundamentals, new equipment available, and re-qualify the permit holder with their firearms.

Note: Due to the long process of obtaining a CCW permit in the state of California, some Sheriff’s offices are no longer accepting New CCW permit class certificates if they are more than 6 months old. If this sounds familiar, don’t panic. Simply sign up for the Renew CCW course at The Range. At the end of the class, the instructor will provide you with an updated New CCW Class Certificate.
