Attempted three times to contact someone over the phone. Left a message once, no success yet. Not such a great first impression so room for improvement perhaps.

Mostly well put together. Small gaps in some slide flow but overall pretty good. Videos were good. Some (like cleaning and different pistol types) got a little dry. Other ones were good.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I have not finished all of the training videos but everything else is gone very well. I'm wondering when I'm going to receive my card.

About Concealed Coalition

Written by the company

Concealed Coalition is a U.S.-based firearm training organization that provides state-compliant concealed carry education and safety instruction for eligible adults. The company connects individuals with certified instructors and structured training programs designed to meet state-specific permitting requirements.

The organization operates through a nationwide network of instructors and an online platform that allows individuals to register for courses, review state guidelines, and access educational materials. Concealed Coalition does not issue permits directly; concealed carry permits are issued solely by the appropriate state or local authority following successful completion of required steps.

The training process typically includes classroom or online education covering firearm safety fundamentals, applicable laws, and responsible ownership principles. In many states, instruction may also include a live-fire qualification component conducted by a certified instructor in accordance with state regulations.

Permit approval decisions are made exclusively by the relevant issuing authority and are subject to background checks and statutory eligibility criteria. Completion of a training course does not guarantee permit issuance.

Concealed Coalition provides educational resources to help individuals understand evolving state laws, reciprocity considerations, and responsible firearm storage practices. The company emphasizes legal compliance, safety awareness, and informed decision-making throughout the training process.

Operating nationwide, Concealed Coalition supports individuals seeking structured firearm education through a standardized, compliance-oriented framework designed to align with current state requirements.

I thought I was applying for a concealed carry permit by time I got done with it. I realized I was just going through a training class. I wish it’d be a little more clear in there protocol on what they’re doing. It’s totally my fault. I guess I should’ve read all the fine print and everything but I really don’t understand what I did. I took a test. I missed one and I still passed so I don’t know how many you’re allowed to miss before they flunk you seemed like he was just after the money.
