Concealed Handgun Permit Course
Getting a Firearm Permit does not give a person permission to wear that firearm, in public, or take that firearm across state lines. In order to cross state lines, a person must obtain a concealed handgun certificate. There are many opportunities, especially online, to take a Concealed Handgun Permit Course. Before choosing a course be sure to research how many states are covered with that certification. There are courses available that will allow, once successfully completed, a person to carry a concealed weapon in at least 29 states.
Who is this course designed for?
The Concealed Handgun Permit Course is specifically designed for anyone wishing to protect their family and or themselves while traveling. It is also designed for anyone wishing to carry a concealed firearm in 25 or more states. Finally, this type, of course, is for a person wanting a non-resident CCW permit that does not require a person to live in the state of Virginia.

Unfortunately, there is no concealed carry firearm permit that covers all 50 states. Firearm laws are decided at the state level which means each state creates its own set of laws related to concealed firearms. One of the best options available is a Virginia State Concealed Carry Permit which can be obtained by a resident or a non-resident and is accepted by 29 states.
Getting a concealed handgun permit is not very complicated. The course is designed to teach a person about firearm safety and being responsible with their firearm. In order to obtain the certificate, a person must successfully complete the course and pass the quiz at the end.
Being the owner of a firearm is a big responsibility and an even bigger responsibility carrying a firearm from place to place, including across state lines. The only way to legally do that is by taking a Concealed Handgun Permit Course along with the other permit requirements mentioned above.
