250 Free Military Concealed Handgun Permits

ASDI powered by USCCA, plans to deliver at least 250 free concealed carry permit classes ahead of Independence Day, as the nation marks its 250th anniversary, reinforcing its commitment to supporting those who serve.

In support of this policy change, USCCA announced a new nationwide initiative to provide free concealed carry permit classes to military personnel serving on active duty, National Guard, or in the reserves. The training will also be available to dependents and veterans and offered near major military installations across the country. Each offering is structured to meet the specific state requirements necessary to obtain a concealed carry permit in the state where it is conducted. Attendees will leave with the certificate and required documentation to apply for their state-issued concealed carry permit.

“This is a meaningful step forward for the men and women who serve our country,” said Mike Lowney, President of Delta Defense, the service provider for the USCCA. “These are individuals who have sworn to defend our freedoms, and they deserve the ability to protect themselves and their families when they are off duty. As a nation, we owe them not just our gratitude, but our support. This initiative is about honoring that commitment by ensuring they have access to the training, education, and resources to carry with confidence, responsibility, and pride.”

Why Get a Permit?

For military members and their families, a concealed weapons permit provides the legal ability to carry a concealed firearm in accordance with state laws, both on and off duty where permitted. It also offers greater flexibility when traveling or relocating, as many states recognize permits issued elsewhere.

This course fulfills the training requirements needed to apply, ensuring you understand safe handling, legal considerations, and responsible carry practices. After completing the classroom instruction and live-fire exercises (where applicable), the final step is submitting your application through your local issuing authority. In “shall issue” states, once you meet the qualifications and complete the required training, your permit will be issued—helping you stay prepared to protect yourself and your family wherever you go.
