Expand your firearm knowledge and complete training that supports your applications for Arizona and Florida concealed carry permits.

This course covers firearm safety, responsible concealed carry practices, applicable state and federal firearm laws, prohibited locations, lawful self-defense considerations, and the Arizona and Florida application processes.

Why Obtain Arizona and Florida Permits?

Arizona and Florida allow eligible nonresidents to apply for concealed carry permits or licenses. These permits may provide additional recognition in states that honor Arizona or Florida permits.

Reciprocity laws vary. Some states only recognize permits issued to residents of the issuing state. Permit holders must verify the current laws of each state before carrying or traveling with a firearm.

Course Includes

• Firearm safety and responsible concealed carry practices

• Arizona and Florida permit requirements and application preparation

• Applicable state and federal firearm laws, including prohibited-person restrictions

• Legal considerations regarding self-defense and the use of force

• Prohibited and restricted carry locations

• Interstate travel and permit-recognition considerations

• Florida live-fire competency demonstration and documentation, when needed, as outlined below

• Course-completion documentation for eligible students

• Arizona fingerprinting service

Live-Fire Requirements — Arizona & Florida

Arizona: Arizona does not require a live-fire shooting qualification for its concealed weapons permit.

Florida: Students using this course to document firearm competency must safely handle and fire a firearm with live ammunition under the instructor’s direct, in-person observation. The instructor must document this participation. Florida does not prescribe a scored qualification, shooting distance, or minimum round count for this training requirement.

Adding Florida to Your California CCW Course: If you are adding Florida CCW training to your Millennia Defense California initial or renewal CCW course, the same live-fire session can satisfy both courses’ requirements when completed with an appropriately qualified instructor and properly documented. A separate shooting session is not needed.

Previously Completed Training: Applicants who already have Florida-accepted proof of firearm competency may not need another live-fire session. Contact Millennia Defense before scheduling so we can review your documentation.

Separate Florida Live-Fire Session: Students who need a Florida live-fire session will coordinate scheduling with Millennia Defense. This session takes place separately from the 8:00 AM–1:00 PM classroom instruction at:

Rancho Magnum Range
9049 E 9th St
Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730

An additional $30 range fee applies.

Students attending the live-fire session must bring:

• Their own pistol(s)

• 100 rounds of ammunition appropriate for their pistol(s)

• Hearing protection

• Eye protection

The 100-round ammunition requirement is a Millennia Defense course requirement, not a Florida state minimum.

Arizona Fingerprinting Service

Arizona fingerprinting service is included with this course and applies only to Arizona nonresident permit applications. Millennia Defense will assist Arizona applicants with the two required fingerprint cards.

Florida Fingerprint Requirement

Florida applicants attending this course must arrange fingerprinting through a local law-enforcement agency, such as a sheriff’s office or police department. Florida fingerprinting is not provided by Millennia Defense, and agency fees are separate from the course price.

Important Information

Completion of this course does not guarantee that Arizona or Florida will issue a permit. Applicants must submit the required application, fingerprints, fees, and supporting documents, and successfully complete the applicable background investigation.

Permit recognition and firearm laws can change. Always verify current requirements with the issuing agency and every state in which you intend to carry.
