NYS Pistol Permit Class

This is a two-day class, from 9am – 5pm. Taught by James Emmick of Firearms Training of Western New York (FTWNY), the first instructor approved by Erie County and NYC to teach the new class. He is approved by more counties than any other instructor in NYS.

Cost – $499 per student.

This is the new state-mandated 16 hour NYS Concealed Carry Class that New York requires all residents to take before applying for a pistol permit. This is a multiple-day course requiring you to attend all course days on time and participate completely in order to earn your certificate.

Our class will meet, and exceed, the NY State and NYC required standards to apply for a NY State/NYC concealed carry license. This will be a class that people will want to take again…a class that you will send your friends and family to with full confidence that they will receive the same exceptional training in a safe and comfortable environment. This provides each student the opportunity to not only learn the required material, but also master it. The classroom portion will be taught with plenty of breaks and the ability to stand and move around the classroom if you choose. The range portion of the class will be taught on site. We will be setting up an indoor Ultimate Training Munitions (UTM) range. The UTM guns are real Glock 17 handguns that fire a 9mm marking/training round. These guns can be used for the live-fire portion of the class, and the huge benefit is that we do not need to utilize a true shooting range for class. These are a safe training option which NY State law allows us to use during for the required live fire portion of the class. Our class will not only give students the required training certificate needed to apply to NY State for a concealed carry license, but will also include the required training certificates to apply to Florida and Arizona for non-resident pistol permits. This includes printed photos, completed fingerprint cards, pre-labeled envelopes and (most importantly) your certificates of completion. Fingerprints for NY State will be done through your individual county AFTER the class. No gun, ammo or holster? No problem! We provide all the guns, holsters, belts, ammo, targets and class materials at no extra cost to you. Each student will receive their own safety glasses, yours to keep!

The all inclusive price of our class is $499 per student.

You can choose to pay the full price of $499 upfront or make a down payment of $399 and pay the remaining $100 in cash, debit, credit, check, or money order on the day of the class. (Please note that the $399 down payment is non-refundable unless you cancel your spot 48 or more hours in advance. You can also switch to another available date that works for you. A $25 fee will be deducted from the deposit for any refund processed.)
