(Our office is inside the building “I WALK Free”.  If you park in the south portion of the parking lot near the Ballast Point Brewing Company, you’ll see a blue building to the right of the brewery with the sign “Moore Institute Plastic Pollution Research & Learning Center”.  Walk between these two buildings toward the water and you’ll find our building, #130, on the right.)

Range: (This is where we’ll drive to at about 6:30PM.  Our range time is 7:00PM and we should be done and have you signed off by 9 or 9:30PM)

FT3 Tactical
8230 Electric Ave
Stanton, CA 90680

(Parking can be challenging, but if nothing is open in the range’s lot, there’s also a back area behind the gate that has available spots as long as it’s not marked as “tow away zone”.  The paint store next door also has spots open.  Even though it says “no parking”, if their store is closed by the time we’ll get there, they will not tow.)

This is an “In-Person” CCW renewal class for those needing to fulfill the training requirement for a California Concealed Firearm Permit.  This class meets the 8-hour curriculum requirements in accordance with new laws passed in Senate Bill 2.  This course is currently approved by the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and several other city police departments within Los Angeles County (please check with us as to which ones before registering).  The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and LAPD currently require their CCW classes to be taught “in-person”, so this class fulfills that requirement.

The mandatory 8-hour minimum curriculum for this CCW course is completed “in-person” at our classroom in Huntington Beach.  Sometimes we teach it on 1 full day and other times it’s combined with the Initial CCW class, which is taught over 2 days.  You will notice that for the 2-day classes, you’ll be in class more than the mandatory 8 hours, but there’s no easy way for us to make sure you get the full required curriculum when we combine it with the other class.  We conclude the class by relocating to the live fire range qualification in the evening, which is only about 20 minutes from the classroom.  The basic details are found by clicking on the “Class Details” tab to the side of this box.  Please read ALL of the tabs regarding what to expect from class, what to bring, and the terms for cancellation or rescheduling.

Also, please carefully read the options for adding the optional “multi-state CCW” qualification and for the optional fingerprinting as it can be somewhat confusing if you select the options without reading them first.  The multi-state portion starts an hour and a half before everyone else arrives in the morning.  After registration, be on the lookout for an email a few days before class with the final details and anything that might change before your scheduled date.

If you’re interested in a private or semi-private group class, please contact us.  Generally, the cost for one person (within Orange County) is $650, but the rates go down with each additional person added.  The classroom portion can be taught at your home or office or at our classrooms in Long Beach or Garden Grove.  If you’re applying through Orange County or San Diego, you also have the option of doing your classroom portion at your own pace through our online webinar.  Some cities in Los Angeles county may also accept this version of the class, but currently the Los Angeles County Sheriff and LAPD do not as their classes must be taught all in-person or by live video.  Once you’re finished with the online modules, you can schedule a private session to finish up the practical portions and range qualification.  The cost for one person using this option is $450.  There’s an extra surcharge for travel time and fuel if you’d like us to travel to you outside of Orange County.  Scheduling is generally flexible on weekdays.

Eye and Ear Protection:

It’s highly advisable that you bring your own eye and ear protection on our range day.  Some of the ranges we use no longer lend out this equipment and you may have no option but to buy it there at the range if you don’t have your own.  For your convenience, you’ll see options at checkout to purchase these items with your class and we’ll have it here waiting for you.  We carry the AXIL line of hearing protection.  AXIL started out as a hearing aid company so the quality of their electronic protection is the top in the industry.  There’s options for their standard “passive” ear muffs providing 32 dB of protection to electronic noise suppression ear muffs and ear buds that amplify ambient noises (such as range instructions and conversations), while at the same time suppressing any noises above 85 dB.  The most advanced of their ear muffs and ear buds also have Bluetooth integrated within them so you can answer phone calls and listen to music from your phone without taking them off.  You can learn more about each of these products through the company’s website below, but purchase them through us and you’ll get a much better discount.  We also carry good quality Bollé safety eye glasses that you can add to your cart.

Please go to this LINK to purchase these items, but these discounts are only available for registered students and not the general public.  Please let us know if you have any questions!

Class Details

This course material has been approved by the sheriff’s departments listed as acceptable in meeting the training requirements for Initial and Renewal CCW applicants.  Otherwise, there is no affiliation with their respective agencies.  We’re not employed by them, nor do they endorse any specific training provider.

Because of the highly discounted price, materials preparation, and demand, we cannot accept walk-ins for this course at the door.  The course price includes everything you’ll need in class (targets, range fee, handouts, etc.) for qualifying up to 3 guns.  You must provide your own ammunition.

Classroom and Range

In California, you must have at least one handgun listed on your CCW license and you may only carry the guns listed on your license.  That means it must be registered to you (or your spouse or domestic partner in some counties) and that firearm must be brought to class to be qualified at the range so it can be listed on your CCW permit.  If you do not yet have a handgun, you cannot complete the CCW course or be granted a permit so please make sure you have that arranged before attending class.

For Orange, Ventura, and San Diego County applicants who want to qualify more than 3 guns, you can add up to 2 additional guns for $25.  In other words, $25 will cover a 4th and 5th gun, $50 will cover up to 6 or 7 guns, etc.  Adding more guns to your license can currently be done at any time in Orange and San Diego Counties.  Los Angeles and Ventura will only allow it to be done at the time of your license renewal.

Please bring the firearm(s) you will list on your permit to class.  We have to verify for your sheriff that you know how to take the gun apart for cleaning so please arrive with it disassembled (just have the slide off for a semi-automatic), unloaded, and in a locked container.  We DO NOT allow LIVE AMMUNITION in class.  For obvious reasons, safety is of extreme importance as we’re handling our guns and some students may have little experience, so please do not bring any ammunition with your guns or in your bags.  We will verify this several times throughout the day.  Leave the ammo in your vehicles.

For the Orange County issued license, you’ll need at least 24 rounds for each handgun for qualification.  Los Angeles County applicants and most of the city departments in L.A. County require 72 rounds for your first gun and 20 rounds per each additional gun you’re qualifying.  Ventura County applicants have a different qualification course and will need at least 16 rounds per gun.  San Diego County applicants will need at least 100 rounds for your first gun and if you have subsequent guns, you’ll need at least 30 rounds per gun.

The range doesn’t allow Russian, Polish, or Czech ammo or aluminum casings.  It sounds strange, but they’ve had problems with brands such as PPU, Silver Bear, Brown Bear, Tula, etc. rupturing and causing safety hazards.  You will however need to bring eye and ear protection or plan on buying it at the range or classroom.  The range no longer has them available to borrow nor rent unfortunately.  You will not need any holsters.  It’s simply too dangerous to draw at full speed from the holster in live fire with so many people new to using the technique.  Instead, we’ll be using plastic training guns and holsters in class to practice.  The training guns are also available for sale if you would like to purchase them.  Please bring a pen or pencil to take notes.
Optional Multi-State CCW Qualification

Currently, only 35 other states recognize the California CCW permit as valid or don’t require a CCW permit allow you to carry around the U.S.  By obtaining the Utah, Arizona, and/or Florida CCW non-resident permits, you can extend your legal coverage up to 39 states besides California.  Come in an hour earlier before your California CCW class and we’ll finish the instruction to sign you off on the Utah permit training and provide you documentation to present to Florida and/or Arizona as well.We teach the multi-state CCW permit classes by themselves too.  You don’t have to take the California CCW class if you only want the UT, AZ, or FL permits.  The normal going rate for training in California is between $100-$125.  Although we normally instruct the course for $60, we’ll add the instruction to your California CCW class for $30!  The checkout selections in your cart will have the option to add the extra hour of class.

Going around town to get your fingerprints and photos done for the multi-state permits can also be an inconvenience.  Let us handle it for you.  On average, we offer rates less-expensive than anywhere else you could go.  If you’re still not sure which of the optional states you want to apply for and if you want fingerprints done for them, don’t worry because we’ll walk you through the benefits of each during class.  You can decide and pay at that point for the fingerprinting if you need time to decide.  We also have a 3rd party company who offers Live Scan for your California permit.  In most cases they scan and submit your prints during class, but please advise us beforehand if you’re needing the Live Scan fingerprinting so we can make sure it’s available that day.

Terms & Conditions

When do I take the class?

Different counties have different requirements as to when this course can be taken in the application process and how long it is deemed valid.  Currently, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department no longer requires you to be pre-approved to take your training class.  In fact, you may take the class up to 6 months before final issuance of your permit.  Ventura County also allows you to take the class before your conditional approval, but they request that you at least have your application submitted and interview scheduled.  San Diego will accept the class as valid for 90 days, but they would like you to at least wait until you’ve paid your initial fee and had your fingerprints taken.  Although wait times in most counties are moving much faster and you should have time to complete the process in the window when the class is still valid, we still can’t guarantee the county sheriffs or DOJ background processing will be done by then.  

We DO NOT offer a refund if you take the class and are later rejected for any reason in the application process.  We cannot guarantee that any applicant will be granted a license.  If you have a clean criminal background, Ventura and Orange Counties have a very high success rate of 98% or more for approvals, but nevertheless, they cannot compel you to take the class before a conditional approval.  San Diego and Los Angeles Counties currently request that the applicant wait until after they receive their approval notification before taking the training course.

Cancellation policy

We understand that sometimes things come up and your schedule changes.  We’re fairly flexible to allow you to make up portions of the day you missed or to reschedule all together, but please advise us within 24 hours of the class to be fair to those trying to get in on a waiting list. 

If you’re taking an Online “Blended-Learning” class, it is your responsibility to have all of the online modules and quizzes showing as completed before attending your range date.  If this has not been done yet, it will be counted the same as a “reschedule”.  A $50 rescheduling fee will be assessed if any class or range date changes are made within a week of the class date and we’re unable to fill your spot.  This is because we have to commit our dates to the range and we need the classes filled in order to make it economically feasible.  We do allow full cancellation and refund (minus any processing fees that the credit card company will not return to us) within 24 hours of purchasing.  Beyond this time however, your purchase will be counted as credit toward a future class except in rare emergency situations.  Please understand that we depend on dependable attendance in order to offer the low rates we do.  We cannot issue refunds for classes purchased beyond 5 months due to credit card processing fees and changing operating costs.
