Eagle River Concealed Carry Day 1 – OPEN
2026-02-07 10:00 - 18:00 | Birchwood Recreation & Shooting Park, 20269 Birchwood Spur Rd, Chugiak, AK, 99567, United States
Our Alaska concealed carry course prepares eligible adults to apply for a state concealed handgun permit. It is built for students who are 21 or older and already have basic handgun experience. Alaska concealed carry permits include a NICS exemption, are valid for about five years, and are accepted in 38 states.
This 12-hour class meets all state requirements for classroom instruction and range qualification.
Please note: Previous handgun experience is required for this course, see below. We at Accurate Advantage wish to separate your first shots from the time this course encourages you to focus on the clear mindset, critical decision making, and precision skillset required to be a responsible defender.
You will learn essential handgun skills, safe handling practices, and the legal concepts that guide responsible self-defense. We cover state defense and protection law, use-of-force principles, and the responsibilities that come with carrying a concealed handgun. Scenario-based exercises help you understand how to respond in realistic situations. These drills reinforce safe decision-making and practical skill.
At the end of the course, you will take a written test on firearm safety and defense law. You also complete a shooting proficiency test to show competence with your handgun. After you pass, you will receive the forms required to submit your permit application to the state. The state will mail your approved permit directly to you.
If you are new to handguns, we recommend completing Basic Handgun 101 before taking this Alaska concealed carry course. It gives you the foundation needed to train safely and confidently.
Students must bring a personal handgun with at least two magazines, or a revolver with at least three speed loaders. You must also bring 200 rounds of factory ammunition and a hip or approved concealed holster and a magazine pouch. Please contact us if you’d like to qualify from concealment. We provide targets, backers, and eye and ear protection. Additional gear including holsters, mag pouches and belts is available to borrow.

These key areas of focus are then reinforced with highly realistic hands-on training as well as highly realistic and interactive scenario training that immerses the student creating a far more retainable learning environment.
