EL DORADO COUNTY CCW PERMITS

Upon approval of your El Dorado County CCW application, you will be required to complete at least an 16 hour "Initial" CCW training, if you have not done so yet. At Best Handgun Training, we do require that you qualify with and demonstrate the ability to handle and qualify all handguns (up to 3 guns) for your El Dorado County CCW training. For CCW "Renewals", you must take an 8 hour CCW refresher training and qualify with each handgun to be on your permit. CCW initial applicants must attend 16 hours of training (over 2 days).

Obtaining a CCW (carry concealed weapons) permit in Northern CA is much easier than many bay area and Southern CA counties. You do not have to jump through hoops to get your CCW permit in El Dorado County!

El Dorado County CCW permits and issuance criteria, training requirements and other information can be found on this page with Best Handgun Training, as well as the link below, to the El Dorado County Sheriff's Department.

You must schedule an appointment directly with the El Dorado County Sheriff Department, CCW division. You shall demonstrate good moral character, prove that you are an outstanding resident of El Dorado County, and be prepared to undergo a thorough and complete background check.

Do yourself a huge favor, and take the BEST training course available, and do not allow any shortcuts when taking this training. In CA, unfortunately, it is a "privilege" and not a right to be issued a CCW. Training is very important, and selecting the best instructor should be a very important factor, when you will be carrying a concealed weapon everyday. Regardless of the number of days, or how long the training is, or how far away the training center is, it is very crucial to know the laws of the state of CA, and particularly knowing the laws when it comes down to self defense, and where you are not allowed to carry weapons, etc., rather than just demonstrating that you can shoot a gun at a range.

At BEST Handgun Training, you will walk away with a tremendous amount of knowledge, and you will be well prepared to carry concealed weapons.
