CCW stands for Concealed Carry Weapon, and it is the act of carrying a concealed weapon on your person. CCW laws vary from state to state, and typically involves an application process and going through a local Sheriff or other law enforcement agency. While ADI is a certified CCW training provider for the Orange County Sheriff’s Department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, taking this course does not guarantee a CCW.
The Artemis Defense Institute’s CCW course has been approved to provide the basic foundation for what is necessary to be a responsible CCW holder. There is no limit to the number of firearms you choose to have on your license, and there is no additional cost to you. Adding a firearm later to your license is easy; see ADD-A-GUN below for details.
*OCSD has no limit to the number of firearms listed on your permit.
**LASD limits you to three guns.
The first day of training is held online only via Zoom*. Once you sign up for the course, you’ll receive a confirmation email with all the links and IDs required. Topics covered in our first session include:
- developing a personal and home safety plan
- firearms safety
- shooting fundamentals
- firearms manipulation
- shooting under stress
- legal use of force
By the end of our session, the class will be divided into three training and shooting groups for Sunday.
*For those who have never used Zoom, this fantastic video shows just how easy it is to join the class. See you there!
