LEGAL UPDATE

 

2024 CCW Changes

Due to Governor Newsom signing into Law SB2; beginning January 1, 2024, CCW training requirement hours have increased. 

The training for the Initial CCW has increased from 8 hours to 16 hours. 

The CCW Renewal training has increased from 4 hours to 8 hours.

The "108 - Renewal or Initial Part 2" - 8hr CCW course will fulfill the requirements for a CCW Renewal, as well as provide 8 hours of the required 16 hours for an Initial CCW. 

The remaining 8 hours required for the Initial CCW can be fulfilled by completing the "110 - CCW Initial Part 1" course.  At this time we do not offer a modular CCW.
