What You'll Learn
559CCW provides California SB2-compliant CCW Renewal training for residents of Fresno, Madera, Merced, Tulare, and Kings County.
Class begins at 9:00 AM at 1620 Church Ave., Sanger, CA 93657. This is classroom instruction only. There will be no live-fire qualification on this day.
No firearms or ammunition are permitted in the classroom. Please leave them secured at home.
The Renewal course is 8 hours of in-person instruction and follows the same comprehensive curriculum standards as the Initial course, without the additional online component. Students will review updated California concealed carry laws, SB2 regulations, prohibited carry locations, use-of-force standards, civil and criminal liability, safe storage requirements, and the legal responsibilities of carrying a firearm in public. The course reinforces defensive mindset principles, situational awareness, and safe firearm handling practices required by state law.
Live-fire qualification will take place the next day at the range.
You may qualify with up to 6 legally registered firearms. On range day, bring your unloaded firearm(s), stored locked in your vehicle until instructed, along with 50 rounds per firearm (100 rounds if qualifying with 4–6 firearms) and eye and ear protection. Steel core, steel jacketed, or bi-metal ammunition is not allowed at the Fresno Rifle & Pistol Club.
Certificates are issued after successful completion of classroom instruction and the live-fire qualification.
Seats fill quickly. Reserve your renewal spot today.
