Sheriff’s Office and Parks & Recreation Concealed Carry Training Class
Saturday, June 22, 2024
Concealed weapons are weapons which are kept hidden on one’s person, or under one’s control not accessible to view. Lawful practice of concealed carry in Virginia requires a Concealed Carry Permit, which requires the completion of an approved firearms safety course to prove handgun competency. We understand that it may be difficult for the average citizen to find training or classes that are inexpensive. For this reason, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office and Orange County Parks & Recreation have partnered to offer concealed carry classes at a minimum cost to Orange County Citizens and to those who work in Orange County.
The training consists of education in the classroom to include safety, laws, shooting fundamentals, storage, maintenance, and legal considerations. Students will also have to demonstrate safe weapon handling on the range and must bring their own firearm and ammunition. Instructors are Sheriff’s Office staff and DCJS Certified Firearms Instructors.
Registration is handled through Orange County Parks & Recreation. CLICK HERE FOR REGISTRATION.
Participants must be 21 years of age or older and either be an Orange County, VA resident or work in Orange County, VA. They must be eligible to possess a firearm and pass a background check to the satisfaction of the Sheriff’s Office. They must also complete a Concealed Carry Registration Packet which requires a notarized waiver that must be done in person (don’t sign until in front of the notary).
