NYS Concealed Carry 18-Hour Mandatory Course
$375.00 – Nassau & Suffolk
$450.00 – Bay Ridge
This is the mandatory training now required by New York State to be able to apply for or renew a concealed carry permit. As of September 2022, there are only two types of permits issued in New York State.
1. Premise Permit also known as Sportsman on Long Island. This permit allows you to go to and from training facilities only and to be stored at your home.
2. Concealed Carry Permit which allows you to carry your pistol in NYS with exceptions on locations where firearms are not permitted.
If you possess any other type of permit it will not be renewed without the 18HR Concealed Carry course! All licenses will be renewed and re-issued as a concealed carry permit. This new permit will be civilian status. This includes Retired Police Officers and business permits.
Retired officers must get a Federal HR-218 Permit to be able to carry their firearm with retired law enforcement privileges. We offer HR-218 qualifications in Bay Ridge, Nassau County, & Suffolk County.
