Introduction
Welcome to the Arizona Concealed Weapons Permit — Complete Training Program, brought to you by Yellow Rose Tactical. My name is Matthew Johnson, and I am an NRA-certified firearms instructor credentialed to deliver this course under Arizona Revised Statutes § 13-3112, subsections (N)(1) and (N)(8).
This program is the official curriculum for Yellow Rose Tactical’s online CCW course. Over roughly four hours across twenty-two modules and a final exam, we will cover every topic a responsible Arizona CCW applicant needs: the legal framework, eligibility, firearm safety and handling, handgun operation, ammunition, use-of-force law under A.R.S. § 13-405 and § 13-411, defensive scenarios, restricted locations, reciprocity, the application process, and renewal. By the end you will have the training certificate required to apply for your permit through the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
Before we begin, an important legal note. This course is educational information. It is not individualized legal advice for your specific situation. Arizona firearms law changes, and case law in this area evolves. Consult the Arizona Department of Public Safety, an attorney licensed in Arizona, or current Arizona statutes at azleg.gov before making legally consequential decisions. Completion of this course does not guarantee that AZ DPS will issue you a permit — they make all final eligibility decisions.
Let’s get started.
