Why So "Cheap"?
Why does Armed2Defend offer all of this for less then any other CCW training company? Lead Instructor Kevin Sadeski believes that Ohio becomes safer with every responsible citizen who receives their CCW license and who carries a pistol confidently. Unfortunately, the freedom of concealed carry has become a big business and therefore it has become less attainable to some due to high cost instruction. In order to open the freedom to more people, he and others have worked hard to keep the class fee to a minimum while still providing top quality instruction.

With more responsible confident concealed carries in Ohio, the criminal's workplace becomes more hostile and our life becomes more safe.

5 Steps to Getting an Ohio Concealed Handgun License:

1. Verify that you are eligible to apply for the license. See "Who can apply for a license?" in the how to register page.

2. Register and attend Armed2Defend's concealed carry license class. This will get you a Certificate of Competency, a passport size photo, a copy of the Ohio attorney general's CCW law pamphlet, and the application.

3. Review the Ohio Attorney General's pamphlet on Ohio Concealed Carry Laws.

4. Call the sheriff's office in your county or an adjoining county to schedule a concealed carry license appointment.

5. Bring your filled out application, course completion certificate, passport photo, a photo ID, and the license fee to your appointment. They might take a new picture for your concealed handgun license and you may need to be fingerprinted at the appointment.

It typically takes a few days after your appointment for the sheriff to process your paperwork and to print your concealed handgun license.

Do not bring a firearm when applying for or picking up your concealed handgun license. You don't have a CCW license to conceal carry until after you physically have the concealed handgun license in your hand. The license is designed similar to a driver's license.
