Do your courses count for the California Conceal Carry Weapon Permit (CCW) training requirement?
We have two ways to primarily provide approved CCW training. We provide a monthly 4 & 8 hr class at Markley’s Indoor Range & Gun Shop in Watsonville. The dates & sign up information can always be found on our CALENDAR. The other class that counts for CCW renewal is the Defensive Pistol 101 class. This class is held every couple months and can be found as well on our calendar.
