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?

Our state certified trainers hold multiple certifications along with years of practical handgun experience. The supplemental safety training course we offer online is comprised of nationally recognized course training materials used in all 50 states. We assure you with the satisfaction guarantee that our in person training and live fire qualification are not only valid but exceed the minimum requirements for handgun safety training as outlined in the concealed carry permit requirements.

7. Where can I find more information about Missouri concealed carry permits?

Contact your county sheriff as information differs by county.

8. If approved, how many years is my permit issued for?

5 years

9. Is there additional training required for my Missouri Permit?

Missouri requires applicants to complete in-person training by a state approved instructor or organization. This training must also include live-fire.

10. Why do I need a permit if Missouri is a Constitutional Carry State?

While Missouri is a constitutional carry state, obtaining a Missouri CCW permit gives you the ability to conceal carry in the 36 states that accept a Missouri resident permit. This allows greater freedom to exercise your Second Amendment right while traveling across state borders.
