What should you expect?

 

Practical Training

In your class, you will learn proper firearm handling skills, weapon safety, and firearms laws. As part of all of our classes, we focus on day-to-day situations such as firearms storage, safety around children, and concealed carry.
 

Knowledgeable Instructors

All of our instructors are certified by the NRA. Each instructor is well versed in self-defense, both inside and outside the home. The knowledge they impart will give you the foundation to feel comfortable carrying your firearm to the places you go.
 

Everyday Safety

Safety both in the class and out is a top priority for all of our instructors. To ensure your safety, no live ammunition is permitted in the classroom. We are dedicated to making firearms ownership safe and enjoyable.

Why Virginia's Permit?

Virginia is an open-carry state, so residents are able to openly carry their firearms. However, the only way to legally conceal carry a weapon is with a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit. A permit also makes you exempt from Virginias “one handgun a month” law as well as their ban on assault weapons in certain areas. One of the greatest appeals to obtaining the permit is that with a Virginia concealed handgun permit you have reciprocity with 34 other states which makes travel much easier across state lines. After the course, all you need to do is submit your Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit application to the Circuit Court in your county of residence. Virginia is a “shall issue” state, meaning as long as you complete the class and meet the qualifications, you will be issued a permit.

Common Questions

 

Can I obtain a Virginia non-resident permit?

Yes, non-residents of Virginia who are 21 or older may apply for a Virginia Non-Resident Concealed Handgun Permit. A non-resident must take an in-person class, but the class does not necessarily need to be located in Virginia. All ASDI concealed carry courses meet the requirements for a Virginia Non-resident permit. The Virginia non-resident permit is a great permit to have for anyone who travels and wants to be able to legally conceal their firearm. Non-residents may apply in writing to the Virginia state police after taking one of our classes.
 

After completing my Virginia concealed handgun permit course, what else is left to do?

After completing your Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit course you will apply for the permit through your local Circuit Court using your certificate from class. The application process can vary by court so you will need to contact the Circuit Court in your county for specific instructions on how to proceed with the process.

The cost of the ASDI Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit course costs $55. The court will charge a fee of $10.00 for the processing of an application or issuing of a permit. Local law enforcement agencies may charge a fee not to exceed $35.00 to cover the cost of conducting an investigation. The State Police may charge a fee not to exceed $5.00 to cover the cost associated with processing the application. The total amount of the charges may not exceed $50.00, and payment may be made by any method accepted by the court. The total cost of receiving the permit will not exceed $105.
