Core firearm-safety rules
The four basic safety rules and the importance of consistent, responsible handling.
Arizona Concealed Carry Course
Complete approximately three hours of online instruction followed by the required live instructor-led competency session.
Online instruction followed by a live competency session
The Concealed Carry Course uses a two-part format. Begin with approximately three hours of online instruction covering firearm-safety practices and Arizona concealed-carry topics. After completing the online portion, attend the required live instructor-led competency session.
The current listing says course paperwork and fingerprinting are completed during the live session. Both portions are required to finish the course; completing the online lessons alone does not complete the program or guarantee a permit.
What students will learn
The online curriculum combines firearm-safety principles, Arizona law, responsible decision-making, and permit next steps.
Arizona weapons law
An introduction to misconduct-with-weapons law as presented in the current curriculum.
Justification and use of force
Foundational legal and decision-making concepts presented in the online course.
Alcohol and official contacts
Responsible choices involving alcohol and firearms and considerations during contacts with law enforcement.
Cover and concealment
The difference between cover and concealment, trigger discipline, and related preparedness concepts.
Continued training and travel
The importance of continued practice and checking current permit-recognition rules before traveling.
How to complete the course
Finish both training components, then use the separate Arizona DPS application process.
