Overview

​

American's enjoy the right that people of many other countries do not, and that is the right to own firearms legally. With this right comes great responsibility. 

 

By obtaining a CCW Nevada permit, you can carry a concealed firearm in 31 states. This class is thorough with valuable information and exceeds the minimum standards mandated by law for the permit application process. It is an 8-hour 'minimum' required course through the State of Nevada. Concealed Firearm Permits are valid for a period of 5 years and can be renewed every 5 years thereafter. 

 

Course Includes: personal instruction in Nevada law, firearm use-safety-storage-ownership, state proficiency exam (Pass/Fail of 70%), state permit application, state approved B27 target for qualification and course completion certificate. You will walk away from this course empowered as a safer and more responsible firearm carrying citizen.

• Your Course Completion Certificate is not necessary to bring to METRO. It is for your records only and to show tangible evidence that you are a serious firearm owner who has successfully met the requirements of a CCW class. We recommend keeping all your certificates to show you are dedicated to consistent education and training should you end up a court of law;
