Multi state 4 hours course

**r horn** · December 26th, 2012, 11:17 AM

Was thinking about Utah and Florida permits and doing a little research when I found http://www.helpmeshoot.com They had a class reasonably close but was full. I emailed then and promptly received a phone call from them and they worked me into the January class in Baltimore.

I have not been to the class yet obviously but the phone service was great and I look forward to the class. I will inform you additionally after attending.

Here is a little copy/paste from the site

In general, these multi-state classes are crappy. The legal heat class had so many factual errors about UT, PA, and AZ it made the class funny. The reciprocity map they used was about 4 years old. With all that said, I satisfied the class requirements and had my UT CCW 6 weeks later.

WV doesn't offer non-resident permits

They did get a few laws wrong and NR facts wrong. I was happy to see they have a class in Gettysburg in the near future. I'll keep that in mind.

Maybe that is what they would tell you in the course.

I'm looking to take one of these and get my mult-state. Anyone know of a good place to get it done in central bucks county or anywhere close to that?

Check out Personal Defense Solutions, Others on here have had some problems with him. I attended his class twice and enjoyed myself both times. I went once for my Virginia NR CHP, Another for my FL CWP, and he even allowed his South Hampton PD instructor to fingerprint me for my AZ during the Florida course for free. He also offers the Utah but he charges $150 which is very steep and you can't sign up for that online. You have to sign up the day of the class.

Any way he does the class at Ready Aim Fire once a month. His other prices are okay. Depending if you already have taken a BHS class or meet another training requirement It's $50 for the paper work which includes finger printing, notarization, and a picture. If you want both the Virginia & Florida permits but have training it's $100, If you want both permits and need training it's $150.
