IDAHO + OREGON ENHANCED CCW - NAMPA - OCT/NOV 2026 - INCLUDES TEXTBOOK

This is a fun, safe, and informative class that will give you a lot of great information about carrying, shooting, and staying out of trouble.

IMPROVE YOUR CCW KNOWLEDGE Idaho is an amazing state when it comes to 2nd Amendment rights. Constitutional Carry is the law of the land. This course will help you to carry SMARTER.

You'll be more situationally aware. You'll have a game plan should you encounter an escalating situation. And if you are forced to defend yourself, you will be ready to do it in the most effective, legally defensible way.

Every full-price student will receive a copy of USCCA's "Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals, 3rd Edition" (normally $35) to keep. This book covers the topics reviewed in class and more, and is a great reference to refer back to from time to time.

OBTAIN YOUR IDAHO ENHANCED CWL Idaho's Enhanced Concealed Weapons Licenses is among the most recognized in the United States. It is honored by 39 states and counting!*1

An Idaho ECWL streamlines your firearms purchases. Instead of waiting for NICS to clear your firearm purchase, you simply show your ECWL and the background check is waived.

Having an ECWL also exempts you from some of the restrictions on carrying at public colleges/universities in Idaho and from portions of the federal Gun Free School Zone Act while in Idaho.*1

This course also meets the requirements for several states' non-resident permit/license - including Oregon and Arizona.*2

THE NUTS AND BOLTS This course is a total of 8 hours. 6 hours in the classroom, 2 hours on the range.

Minimum age to attend is 18 years old. All students must be able to legally possess a firearm under state and federal law.

The classroom session is on Saturday 10/31 from 8:00 am - 3:00 pm at the Nampa Elks Lodge (1116 First St S, Nampa).

We will be using replica/plastic/fake firearms in class, so for the sake of safety, no functional firearms or live ammunition is permitted in the classroom session. Thank you for your understanding.

Students will then attend one 2-hour outdoor live fire session at the George W. Nourse Public Shooting Range (16802 Nash Rd, Nampa) on Sunday 11/1 from 8:00am - 10:00am.

Live fire sessions may be postponed if rain, snow, lightning, sub-27° temperatures, or 100°+ temperatures are forecast… or if the live fire area is not safely accessible due to mud/snow/ice.

For the live fire session you'll need:

• A handgun. Semi-automatic preferred, but revolvers are OK too.

• 150 or more rounds of ammunition. No steel core, armor piercing, incendiary, or tracer rounds. Full metal jacket factory-loaded ammo recommended.

• At least two magazines for your semi-auto handgun, or speed loaders/strips for your revolver. Bring more if you have them!

• Eye protection. Impact/shatter resistant safety glasses recommended. Prescription or non-prescription eyewear is OK.

• Ear protection. Electronic muff style recommended. Ear plugs or non-electronic OK.

• Holster work will NOT be part of the live fire training, so one is not required.

I sincerely hope that you'll consider joining us for this info-packed class. I am passionate about concealed carry and 2nd Amendment rights, and I look forward to sharing some skills and knowledge, facilitating some good class discussion, and having a safe and fun time while doing so.

*1 Firearm and CCW laws are often VERY specific and they can vary widely from state-to-state. This class will provide an overview of some the things to watch out for and common pitfalls, but make sure you fully research laws that apply to the jurisdiction and situation you'll be carrying in. Consult an attorney with any questions.

*2 Successful completion of this course satisfies the TRAINING requirement for permits/licenses in Idaho, Oregon, Arizona, and several others. Issuance of a license/permit is contingent on satisfying ALL of the requirements of the issuing state. We will discuss these requirements more in class.
