Question: How do I get an out of state non-resident permit that is valid in many different states?

 

Answer: Taking our class fulfills the training requirement though to get a Florida non-resident concealed carry permit that is valid in many different states. (Go to the "Permit Application" page on this website for a list of the states). We also offer the Utah training class to get a Utah non-resident permit valid in almost 30 states. A Utah/NE permit combination gives you coverage in approximately 34 states.

 

*********************************************************************************************************************

 

Question: Now that Nebraska honors permits from 34 other states, can I just get a Utah permit and use that to carry here in Nebraska? 

 

Answer: No, If you are a Nebraska resident, you must have a Nebraska permit to carry concealed here.

Question: Do I have to go to Florida or Utah to get the out of state non-resident Concealed Carry permits?

Question: I took your NE CCW class over a couple years ago; can I use that certificate for the Florida permit?

 

Answer: Yes, however make sure that your certificate has the Instructors NRA ID # in the bottom left hand corner. Some early certificates this was not included, and Florida requires it. If you need a new certificate, contact the Instructor who signed your original to get a new one. Florida does not have a time limit on how long ago training was completed.

 

*********************************************************************************************************************

 

Question: How long is my Utah training certificate good for? 

 

Answer: The Utah training certificate is only valid for one year after you have taken the class. If you don't apply for the Utah permit within 1 year, you must take the training class again.

Contact Chris Zeeb if you are interested in doing this.        402-525-4505 -or- chris@neccwtraining.com

 Answer: NOTE: KEEP THE FIREARM AND AMMO LOCKED IN YOUR VEHICLE. DO NOT BRING THEM INTO THE CLASSROOM.

 

1) A pen and a notepad for taking notes.

3) 50 rounds factory ammunition (no handloads/reloads)

 

4) Your VALID Nebraska Drivers License or Nebraska ID.

 

5) A Holster (All holsters must completely cover the trigger) (No cross draw or 

shoulder holster rigs allowed. The muzzle must point towards the ground). You will also need a belt!

 

6) 4 or 5 magazines or Speedloaders if you have them. You will make the range 

time flow by much quicker!!!

Question: Why shouldn't I bring a .22 Target pistol?

 

Answer: NE CCW Training would prefer that people shoot practical guns that can be carried. If you choose to carry a pocket size .22 caliber pistol, such as a small revolver or Tomcat type pistol, that is acceptable to qualify with.

*********************************************************************************************************************

 

Question: I have Military firearms training, why do I need to take a Nebraska Training class before getting a permit?

 

Answer: Some people have a high level of Military firearms training, and while they may be better versed in the handling of firearms that most others, this class has alot more to do with the Nebraska specific laws regarding firearms, and use of force, as well as all the rules and regulations of the Nebraska Concealed Handgun Permit Act.
