While InSights runs training all over the US, most of our training classes for private citizens are done in the Seattle, Washington area. Getting a Concealed Pistol License in Washington is really quick and easy, but it is only valid in 19 other states (Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia.)

You can get 13 additional states by obtaining a non-resident Utah Concealed pistol license. (Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Wyoming.) However, the application process is a little more complicated – especially if you don’t live in Utah.

First you must meet the eligibility requirements:

  • You do need to be at least 21 years old.
  • You cannot have a felony conviction on your record.
  • You can not have been convicted of any crime of violence.
  • You must not have been convicted of any offense involving the use of alcohol or unlawful use of narcotics or controlled substances.
  • No convictions involving any domestic violence.
  • Also you can never been adjudicated in U.S. courts as mentally incompetent, unless that was reversed or withdrawn.
  • You can not have been convicted of any offense that involves moral turpitude.

Then you need to provide or obtain the following:

  • A copy of a valid driver’s license.
  • A passport quality photograph of you for the new permit.
  • A completed fingerprint card prepared by a trained fingerprint technician.
  • A weapons familiarity class taught by a Utah Certified Firearms Instructor

InSights Training Center offers a 4-hour all-inclusive class that fulfills the Utah training requirement mandated by the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification (B.C.I.) and gets your application ready to submit to Utah for your Concealed Firearm Permit. All you have to do afterwards is drop it application packet in the mail.

Update: Florida and Colorado have reciprocity with Utah at the time of this writing, but do not honor non-resident permits.
