I am signed up to take the NRA certified trainer and PPITH (Personal Protection In the Home) courses in November. I would also like to get my Utah and/or Florida CCW permit(s). Assuming I get the NRA certification first, how does that affect the process for the Utah or Florida permits, if at all?

Thanks in advance,

It doesn't. You'll need to go through the process for the FL and UT permits (including training) regardless of the NRA course.

Many UT trainers combine the FL requirements so you can walk out of class ready to drop you applications in the mail for both.

Ah well....worth asking, right? Yeah, up here they combine both classes. There is an additional $25 fee for the Florida one since it requires live shooting...I thought maybe at least THAT wouldn't be required with the NRA cert since THAT requires live shooting. The Florida application fee is kinda' pricey ($117) and I'm wondering what, if anything, that gets me above and beyond the Utah permit......

Thanks Sam,

Well, you can go to www.handgunlaw.us and make your own carry map based on which states' permits you hold. Selecting and de-selecting one and both FL and UT will show you what one gives that the other doesn't.

Remember that a few states do require you to be a resident of the state in which you hold a permit in order to carry.

Great....thanks Sam. It looks like the Florida permit only gets me 4 more states if I'm looking at it correctly......

Never mind...I answered my own question....thanks Sam.

You do need the NRA course to become a Utah instructor, HOWEVER, once you have the Utah state certification, they don't require you to renew the NRA certification.

To take the Utah instructor course, don't waste time signing up, they fill up months in advance. You will be in convention hall of a hotel in West Valley City, about 20 minutes from the airport. I'm sure it is entirely feasible to get a cab, stay at the hotel, and get another cab back to the airport to fly out the same day. We were done at 2.

The state does have a recently added requirement that if you teach the courses for more than one state, (such as Florida,) you must teach the Utah course in its entirety BY ITSELF, not interspersing instruction from any other state. Meaning Utah or FL first, the other second, not mixed together. Msg me if you have any other specific questions.

Thanks mljdeckard. I'm not really interested in TEACHING the Utah class though...just getting the Utah CCW permit for myself as an individual. I AM taking the NRA instructor courses in November so I was wondering if that in any way fulfilled part of the requirements for the Utah carry permit. I probably wasn't too clear in my questioning...

AZ CCW online?

Okay...I just found another questionable option. Has anyone heard anything about or know about the legitimacy of these online AZ CCW classes? Are they legal? The one that I was was $40 for an online class (that looked like a joke), and then you get some certificate that you send in with the application and $60 fee and end up with your non-resident CCW permit for Arizona. Too good to be true?

PS - Not sure if I should be posting this on here or not, but here's the link to the online class that I found: http://www.azccwclassonline.com/
 
I have been looking on the actual Arizona site that deals with CCW permit issuing...and it SEEMS to me that I would meet their requirements once I have successfully completed the NRA certified instructor class I'm already signed up for in November, unless I'm misreading something. In that case, I'd just need to request their application packet and send it in with the fingerprints and $60 fee. Any feedback or confirmation of this would be appreciated.

Yeah...that's what I was reading Fred. Specifically this portion:
