Fresno County CCW training
Both courses cover the classroom instruction California requires. Choose based on whether this is your first permit or a renewal. If you are filing in Fresno County, the Fresno County requirements and application steps walk through the resident and non-resident pathways first, and the Fresno County CCW application guide explains the full county process from training to submission.
