You may carry guns owned, registered, un-registered or loaned to you from someone else. A Utah CFP does not restrict you to any particular firearms.

 

·Why do CFP classes seem to vary in price? ($40-$300)

You get what you pay for " The bitter taste of poor quality far outlasts the momentary sweetness of a cheap price." Many instructors are new, or are hobbyists and don't always provide accurate information that is important to holding your CFP. They also leave out some of the steps that are required to send in your application so that you can obtain your CFP. Our Instructors are Law Enforcement professionals that also go to the range with you to shoot. Live fire training is rarely offered in other classes; also all needed paper is included ( fingerprints, notary stamp, photos, and application papers) so that you can mail in you application as soon as you finish the class. This saves time and money not having to run around after the class is over.

 

·Is it true that I have to go through a background check even though I had one recently done for something else?

Yes- Everyone who applies for a Utah CFP must have a background check done. Regardless if you have completed one in the past.

 

·I recently just had my fingerprints done? Do I need to have them taken again for my Utah CFP?

Yes- The State of Utah requires that all applicants submit their fingerprints cards. Even though you might have already submitted them for something else. Fingerprints are provided with our class at no extra charge.

 

·How clean does my record have to be in order to receive my Utah permit?

The length of time for a clean record varies greatly depending on the offense. Most DUI infractions that have a conviction date with in the past five years will likely prevent the issuance of a Utah permit. The conviction should be over the 5 years before you send in your application. Single misdemeanor offenses may last as little as one year or up to three years. Court ordered restraining orders my prevent the issuing of a Utah permit until cleared by the court. If you have specific concerns please feel free to contact us or Utah's BCI at 801-965-4445.
