Class Description
This Legal Heat concealed carry permit class is conveniently located near you, and meets the qualifying requirements and documentation to obtain the Ohio (LTCCH) and Florida (CWFL) permits. These concealed carry permits will allow combined carry in approximately 39+ states.
This class is held in conjunction with our partner store Bass Pro Shops, conveniently located near you in Rossford, OH.
Legal Heat’s concealed carry permit class covers firearms safety, firearms handling, firearms transportation, firearms storage, ammunition, self-defense and firearms laws, concealed carry techniques and much more. Legal Heat’s firearm training instructors are insured and among the most highly experienced in the industry and can answer your CCW questions.
This course consists of approximately 6 hours of classroom training plus 2 hour range session. Range and classroom sessions are held on the same day. You do NOT have to reside in the states of Florida to qualify to apply for these multi-state permits.
WHY DO I NEED ALL THESE DIFFERENT PERMITS? The Legal Heat multi-state permit strategy is designed to maximize your concealed carry privileges across the US. Here are a few reasons to hold multiple CCW permits:
• Holding more permits may broaden your carry map by adding unique states with the different permits.
• Multiple permits reduce the possibility you will lose carry privileges in a particular state where you have double coverage.
• Multiple permits increases the number of contiguous states available to you for concealed carry
• You maximize the benefit of your investment of time and money into your CCW training
• You may increase your credibility during encounters with law enforcement regarding your concealed carry privileges.
• You minimize your permit expiration risk.
OHIO PERMIT: For Ohio residents, obtaining your home state permit is the only way to conceal carry in your home state and several other states. The Ohio permit has some of the highest reciprocity in the country, meaning it is accepted by the most states availble for concealed carry that allow non-resdients to comceal carry in thier state.
FLORIDA PERMIT: For Ohio residents who would like a "back up" permit the non resident conceal carry from state of Florida, the one option is to obtain a CCW permit issued by Florida to non-residents. For Non-Ohio residents wishing to obtain a very comprehensive permit, the mail in Florida permit is a great option as a primary permit. The Florida non-resident permti is an especially good primary permit option for residents of restrictive states such as NY, NJ, MD
This combined CCW permit training consists of 6 hours of classroom training, as well as roughly 2 hours of live-fire range training. Total class time includes the transport time to the range from the classroom.
The shooting exercise is simple and will be taught to the skill level of the student and requires shooting at least 30 rounds of ammunition. This is a non-intimidating shooting exercise, and no one has ever failed it. This course more than meets the requirements to obtain all of the advertised permits.
There will be a brief lunch break between the classroom and range sessions.
If you do not participate in the range portion, unfortunately you will not have met the requirements to qualify for the permits..
Range Location: The range can only be accessed when accompanied by our instructor on the date of the class.
1. Where can I carry after I receive my permit(s)?
NOTE: Where a state’s permit is honored (often called “reciprocity”) will change from time to time. Having multiple state carry permits can help cover the gaps in any potential changes. As such, we always suggest checking the Legal Heat App or purchasing our 50 State Guide To Firearm Laws and Regulations book before you travel, to ensure your permit is valid in the locations you will be visiting.

6. What are people saying about this class?
“Just wanted to thank you for the great women’s class last night at the Midvale Sportsman’s store. It was very informative. I feel like I really learned a lot.Thanks again,” Dawna F.
“Today we completed a concealed carry course with instructor Paul M, in Albuquerque, NM. We wanted to take just a few minutes to let you know how pleased we were with our experience! It was well worth the money! Paul is a gifted instructor. We left the class with much more knowledge about gun safety AND the law, which is exactly what we were hoping for in such a course. We enjoyed that Paul appropriately used humor and gave real-world examples to help us retain the information. He is clearly skilled with firearms and we felt very confident in his abilities on the range. What you offer through your course, and through talented instructors like Paul, is a true benefit to our society. Thank you for helping us be better prepared to protect our family. Sincerely,” Daniel and Shirley C.
“I recently attended a Concealed Carry Permit class in Altoona, Pa. …I felt the need to commend both the instructor Jacquline and Legal Heat on an excellent class. I have and will continue to recommend the class to other people in my area. Good job to all of you.” David M.
“Thank you for creating and keeping the App up to date. Having spent the last three years full-time on the road circumnavigating the US twice, I have depended on LegalHeat to keep me appraised of each State’s unique and changing firearm restrictions. Please keep up the excellent work!” Archie R.
