      I called this business because they advertised to help you get your concealed carry permit. The lady I talked to is named brooked. I asked her on the first phone call if this is how I get my concealed carry license she said yes and said it was all online. After agreeing to pay her then she send me a certificate saying j completed the course and my confirmation number was sent to my local Probate office. So this was not all I had to do she told me it was all online now I have to go and pay my probate office again when I've already paid for what they said was the way to get my concealed carry license. I would love to be able to call and explain in more detail because it seems like lots of people have had trouble with these people. This is basically theft by deception. All I want is my refund

      Thank you for reaching out to us. We want to clarify that while we provide the quality training necessary for your Concealed Weapons permit, we are not able to issue the permit itself. To obtain your concealed carry permit, you must complete the application process through your state's licensing authority and submit the required documentation.
      We strive to maintain transparency and provide clear information about our services. Our disclaimers, as well as our refund policy, are readily available on our website for your reference.

      I made a transaction on 08/02/20222. This website made it seem as if I was paying $124 for all of my training to submit for my ccw. I called them the next day and they informed me that my payment only went towards the online class that was extremely quick and self explanatory. Then they told me to schedule the live fire for another $50. They are fraudulent and taking advantage of people who want to arm and protect themselves.

      07/26/2022 was going to take an online course for concealed permit and after taking the course they request payment. After submitting information to pay it then pops up that you must pay extra for another course which requires you to drive for completion of. In their site it said nothing of this needing to attend a live class till AFTER they got your payment which means you cannot get the permit now. So, I called their office to say I could not drive or attend a live class and wanted a refund or cancel transaction at which time I am told there is a NO REFUND policy! No where did they state this prior to transaction in site. Then they offer a $100 restaurant gift certificate which is less than what was charged on my ******** Card by them! So, I think they are not telling the truth about their services and should be able to give refunds back to your credit card.

      I google search Concealed Weapons Classes for the State of Florida. US Concealed Carry pops up. Doesn't mention that the State of Florida does not accept online courses. The website makes it look like the exact opposite actually. Once I completed the course and submitted my paperwork into the State of Florida. They don't take online courses. I reached out to the business, they claim the "Certificate is non-refundable". Which is funny, because I bought the Class. This place is a fraud.
