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.

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 concealed handgun 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.
