Frequent Questions About North Dakota Concealed Weapon License- Class 1.

Not necessarily. North Dakota law allows eligible individuals to carry concealed without a license if they are not otherwise precluded from possessing a Class 2 firearm and dangerous weapon license and possess a valid driver’s license or nondriver identification card issued by the Department of Transportation or their state or territory of residence. However, a North Dakota Concealed Weapon License remains valuable for those who want formal training, proof of competency, and reciprocity benefits when traveling.

Within North Dakota, Class 1 and Class 2 licenses provide the same rights and privileges. The main difference is reciprocity: North Dakota law states that a Class 1 license holder is eligible to receive reciprocal rights in more jurisdictions than a Class 2 license holder. A Class 1 license requires the applicant to be at least 21 years old and complete classroom instruction, an open-book test, firearm familiarity, and a shooting or certified proficiency exercise; a Class 2 license is available to applicants at least 18 years old and requires the open-book test.

After class, students can continue the North Dakota Concealed Weapon License application process through the Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Applicants should be prepared to submit the completed application, valid identification, two sets of classifiable fingerprints for an original license, applicable fees, and any required supporting documentation. North Dakota law states that the license is valid for five years.
