Concealed Handgun License Training

This course emphasizes safe gun handling, storage, and selection in practical real-world ways.

The CHL course will include Oregon/Utah/Arizona Concealed Handgun License permit states which will give the participant 44 state coverage to legally carry a handgun.
Rather for home protection or concealed carry, this is also a great course for those looking to purchase a firearm or wanting to become more familiar with personal protection with a firearm. This is a required course for Oregon residents to get your CHL.
