SB2-compliant courses for first-time applicants and permit renewals. Approved by the Orange County and Los Angeles County Sheriffs.
Senate Bill 2 (SB2) established mandatory training hours for all CCW applicants and renewals in California. Here's what you need to know:
If you are applying for a California CCW permit for the first time, SB2 requires a minimum of 16 hours of approved firearms training. This includes live fire qualification and a legal curriculum covering the use of force, California gun laws, and safe storage.
If you hold a California CCW permit and are renewing before it expires, SB2 requires a minimum of 8 hours of approved refresher training. Topics include updated legal requirements and a live fire component.
Not all CCW instructors are approved by your county's Sheriff. To use your training certificate for a CCW application, your instructor must be approved by the Sheriff of the county where you are applying. Cert Instructor Pro is approved by both the Orange County and LA County Sheriffs.
Both courses meet SB2 standards and are approved by the Orange County and Los Angeles County Sheriffs.
