Arizona Concealed Carry Certification
Getting your Arizona concealed carry certification is a legal milestone. What you actually walk away with should be more than that.
Summit's CCW course is built around one principle: judgment first - small groups, real conversation, and an instructor who treats this as education, not paperwork. You'll leave certified to pursue your permit, backed by the real confidence and decision-making a rushed, crowded class doesn't have room to teach.

Why Train With Summit?
Most CCW classes move people through as fast as possible - a room full of strangers, a stack of paperwork, a certificate at the end. This one's different: small groups, real conversations, and one consistent instructor - Chandler - who's been teaching CCW courses for over a decade because he genuinely loves it, not just to make a living.
This is training he's proud to put his name behind.
What You'll Learn
Arizona concealed-carry law - the A.R.S. § 13-3112 training requirement, plus carry considerations: how, when, and where you're legally permitted to carry.
The legal use of force - and what to do after a defensive incident, including interacting with law enforcement.
Safety and awareness - safe handling and storage principles, discussed in the classroom since no firearm is present during this course, plus situational awareness and avoidance-first thinking.
This course gives responsible gun owners a strong foundation in Arizona concealed carry law and responsible decision-making - the goal is for you to leave informed, confident, and prepared to keep building your skills, not just holding a certificate.

No - this class doesn't assume prior experience.
What if I'm not sure whether I'm eligible?
