Why Take a Virginia Concealed Carry Class?

Virginia law allows residents to apply for a Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) once they have completed an approved firearms safety or training course. While open carry is legal in most parts of Virginia, concealed carry gives you greater flexibility, privacy, and peace of mind.

By completing your CHP training with RMFT, you:

• Meet Virginia’s training requirement under Code of Virginia §18.2-308.02.

• Gain a certificate recognized by your local Circuit Court Clerk’s Office when you apply.

• Learn not just the law, but also real-world defensive skills that help keep you and your family safe.

• Understand reciprocity agreements that allow you to legally carry in dozens of other states when you travel.
