Practical Shooting Training offers Oklahoma Concealed Handgun Licensing classes. We believe we pack more useful information into your class than the other guys. You'll be treated to a professionally prepared multimedia presentation, complete with video, photos and graphics. Discussion and questions are always encouraged.

All of our instructors are experienced and certified by the State of Oklahoma to teach and qualify SDA applicants.

In addition to our regular training, we also offer other firearms classes. For the Ladies Only the curriculum is geared specifically to address the issues that women might encounter when carrying a concealed weapon.

As strong supporters of the Second Amendment, we advocate responsible gun ownership. Promoting concealed carry is our way of helping you exercise your rights. To be a responsible gun owner, you must possess the knowledge and skills to operate your weapon safely and effectively. This is achieved through training and practice, practice, practice. We'll provide the training. The practice is up to you.

Reciprocity - States That Honor Oklahoma Conceal Carry Licenses

The states listed below have honored Oklahoma's Conceal Carry Permit, however; each state regulates firearms law differently and there is no obligation for one state to inform another of any changes to its law; therefore, we suggest that you verify this information prior to travel. In an effort to make this process more convenient, links for each of these states have been provided for you to check the status of reciprocity and proper conceal carry procedure with each state through which you may be traveling prior to your departure.
