Welcome toThe Concealed Carry Institute

FINALLY! A fact-filled Firearms Safety Class that meets the requirements of Virginia law to qualify you for obtaining a Resident or Non-Resident Concealed Handgun Permit. Unlike other classes, this one is taught in one session over the Internet. It is now possible to learn firearms safety from the comfort of your home or office, in just one session.

This class consists of watching a one hour presentation of our time-tested instruction through streaming video.  Following that, you are tested on what you have learned with a 20 question True/False, Multiple Choice and Fill-In-The-Blank test. All that is necessary to take this fast-paced class is your willingness to devote an hour to learn, a computer with Internet connection, and a printer. It’s that simple! With your successful completion of the class, you will be prompted to print your Certificate of Completion. 

With a copy of this certificate in hand, and an application available on this website, you are ready to head to your local circuit court clerk’s office to formally apply for your Resident Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit!  Click here to obtain a Non-Resident permit application packet from the Virginia State Police website.
