Advanced Concealed Carry
Course Details
2-Day Training for the Alaska Concealed Handgun Permit. This comprehensive two-day course provides all required instruction to apply for the Alaska Concealed Handgun Permit. Students receive detailed legal education, structured safety training, mindset development, and practical weapons handling designed to build competence, confidence, and responsibility as an armed citizen.
Day 1 – Morning Session (9:00am – 12:00pm)
Training begins with a course overview, expectations, and a professional safety briefing. Students complete fingerprinting and photographs for permit documentation before transitioning into the Alaska State law portion of the program.
The legal block provides a clear, practical understanding of:
- When the use of force is justified
- Deadly force statutes and their legal boundaries
- The responsibilities and liabilities of concealed carriers
- Proper and safe interaction with law enforcement
This session ensures students understand not only how to carry, but the legal framework that governs armed self-defense.
Lunch Break: 12:00pm – 1:00pm
Day 1 – Afternoon Session (1:00pm – 5:00pm)
The afternoon focuses on core safety principles and practical concealed-carry fundamentals. Students receive instruction on the Four General Rules of Firearms Handling, conditions of carry, and readiness levels tailored to daily concealed-carry use.
Range deck expectations are introduced in detail, including designated safe-handling zones, fiddle-table procedures, and emergency medical protocols. These standards ensure every student operates safely, consistently, and professionally throughout the course.
A dedicated mindset and defensive strategy block expands the student’s understanding of personal protection, covering situational awareness, threat recognition, home-defense and safe-room planning, escape and movement strategies, environmental considerations, and developing a personal decision-making framework: “What should I be thinking, and what is my plan?”

"Two-day concealed carry class was attended by myself, my daughter, and a friend—all of us at different comfort levels and experiences with handguns. The staff was very professional, direct and nice…I would highly recommend this organization for any training they offer."

I was pleased with the schooling I received at the private training facilities. Steve and his partner Slow Poke did a great job one-upping my skill level. They commended a safe environment and were clearly experienced and professional…I would train there again.

Fantastic group of people. I purchased a firearm and have taken two classes and multiple private lessons. If you’re a beginner, I highly recommend this company.

I recently took the Level 1 Pistol class with my girlfriend, who was terrified of firearms, and it was an amazing experience. I can honestly say this class really reassured, corrected, and improved our fundamentals. I trained with Steve and Danny, amazing instructors…
Kevin Staples
Great class and an awesome experience. The instructors took time to work one-on-one with students and help fine-tune even the most minor details to get the most of every shot. I’m looking forward to an excuse to come to Anchorage again soon.
