5. Can I get a refund?

At Concealed Coalition we understand that life happens all around us, all the time and many times is out of our control. For our in-person trainings we will do our best to accommodate you by rescheduling your training. Unfortunately, due to high demand, preparation costs and limited seating, if you call to reschedule between 24 - 72 hours before the day of your class, you will be charged a $35 rescheduling fee. However, if you do not notify us prior to 24 hours, do not show up or miss your elected class, it is not refundable, and you will have to pay full price to attend the class.

For online trainings the course you purchased is an online course and is delivered upon purchase. Since you will have already received our education via our online portal, we will be unable to refund you for any online order. All other refunds are on a case-by-case basis.

6. How can I be sure that this course is valid?

9. Why do I need a permit if Mississippi is a Constitutional Carry State?

While Mississippi is a constitutional carry state, obtaining a Mississippi CCW permit gives you the ability to concealed carry in the 35 states that accept a Mississippi resident permit. This allows greater freedom to exercise your Second Amendment right while traveling across state borders.

10. Do I need training to apply for my permit?

No. The State of Mississippi does not require formal training in order to obtain a concealed carry permit. That being said, it is highly encouraged for every applicant to be familiar with a firearm and firearm safety.
