The ability to defend yourself and your family are priceless. You may have a gun to defend your home. But when you leave your house you open yourself to a world that you have less control over than you may know. Of all the things that you can do to prepare yourself for a dangerous encounter, being aware of your surroundings and carrying a firearm can be very reassuring.
Although the right to carry a concealed firearm is unalienable and available as acknowledged in the 2nd amendment of our constitution, you must have a permit to legally carry a concealed weapon in the state of Nevada.
Armed and Safe Firearms Training provides the best 8 hour instruction possible as required by the state of Nevada. We’re here to provide this course of training in a professional, fun and relaxed class. We’ve been teaching in Northern Nevada for over 18 years and have helped more citizens get their CCW permits than any other company in the area. People keep coming back to us because they feel comfortable during our class. From the most experienced competition and ex military or law enforcement, to first time shooters people tell us that they learned a lot from us in the classroom and on the range.
We are passionate about guns, 2 amendment rights, training and improving your skills by improving our own through the study of shooting fundamentals, defensive pistol techniques, awareness and Nevada and federal law.
Contact us by email armedandsafe@sbcglobal.net. With the date of class selected or your questions. We will reply with a confirmation explaining your class date and location or a response to your questions. Or call us 775 560-2741 for Allan or 775 720-1671 for Kelly.
payment is not due until the day of class. You reserve the right to cancel last minute.
Nevada is a shall issue state. A sheriff must provide a CCW permit to any citizen who takes an 8 hour course from a qualified CCW instructor within the state of Nevada, and who can pass an FBI background check (No felons, domestic violence convictions, restraining orders or recent DUI's). http://www.washoesheriff.com Nevada course is $60. $50 for renewal.
County Sheriff's office will charge $100 for background check and processing. Must apply in person within a year of taking class. For this purpose we offer weekday classes beginning at 7am.
As of July 1st this year the Nevada permit will not list semi-auto's. They are one class and you will only need to qualify on one to be able to carry any semi-automatic pistol.
States that honor Nevada are shown in Blue. MI honors permits from residents of the issuingstate.AZ and VT do not require a permit to carry concealed within their states. http://handgunlaw.us
Florida We encourage people to apply for Florida as well as Nevada. Most of us may appreciate that Florida's permit is recognized by Wyoming, Washington and New Mexico as well as many states to the east. New Mexico recently drooped reciprocity with Utah, who they used to recognize, 
but they kept reciprocity with Florida because the permit process requires more than Utah does. Our cost for Florida is an additional $15 when you take the Nevada course. Florida charges $117 through the mail, $107 to renew through the mail. Good for 7 years.
Florida's permit does not list guns so you are not restricted to what is on your permit.
Sates that honor Florida are shown in Blue. MI, CO, SC and NH will honor Florida resident permitees.
Utah is a great permit. It's a near mirror image of Florida. Good for 5 years and only $65 through the mail. For some people Utah seems to fit their needs. 
Renewal through the mail is $15. Our cost for Utah is an additional $15 when you take the Nevada course. If you choose to add Utah and Florida we charge $25 for the two. Guess which states will only honor residents of Utah.
After class you have a year to apply for NV, UT or FL.

Arizona may be a great solution now and in the future for many people.At the moment is seems that if you can provide any documentation of a shooting course or current or expired CCW permit, or proof of prior military service, then Arizona will send you a permit for $60. 
It's good for five years. The great news for California residents (or residents of other states other than Nevada) is that you will be able to carry in Nevada. We can't promise this will be the case for any length of time. After all, Nevada used to honor the Utah permit for California residents, but the UT permit being so easy to get Nevada dropped Utah as a permit they will honor. This could happen to the Arizona permit as well, not just from Nevada, but other states as well. For more info goto Arizona DPS or A.R.S. 13-3112.For the time being this looks like a good permit to have. Obviously we cannot charge for the AZ sign off unless you need a simple Utah course for documentation. We'll keep this sight up to date for the latest details.
