2. All new Arkansas Concealed Carry Licensee require 5 hours of instruction. We offer small group instruction in your home, office or church. You host the class, at your convince and your control who you invite to the class. We do require a minimum of three students.
   
   
3. Arkansas requires all students to prove their proficiency with a firearm and we do this through live fire at a local gun range. Every class will have a scheduled range time and usually it is a half hour after the class ends.  This is the part that intimidates most people and we have taken some steps to reduce the stress surrounding this process.  When you qualify with your firearm you will be given a training certificate which you will need to submit with your packet. This certificate is valid for six months after the date it is issued.
   
   
4. You are required to submit a set of fingerprints with your application. We do not do these in class and we recommend you do them through one of the following local law enforcement agencies.  We will give you the fingerprint cards you need to use in class.
   ​
5. The last step is to complete the online application. At the end of that process you will be given a confirmation number that you will need to write on the training certificate we give you. Then you mail the certificate and the finger print cards to the state!
