Our comprehensive class not only provides the required training certificate for applying to NY State for a concealed carry license but also includes the necessary training certificates for Florida and Arizona. We go the extra mile by providing all the licensing paperwork you need, including printed photos, completed fingerprint cards, pre-labeled envelopes, and, most importantly, your certificates of completion. (Please note that fingerprinting for NY State will be done individually through your county after the class.)
