Attempted three times to contact someone over the phone. Left a message once, no success yet. Not such a great first impression so room for improvement perhaps.

About Concealed Coalition
Written by the company
Concealed Coalition is a U.S.-based firearm training organization that provides state-compliant concealed carry education and safety instruction for eligible adults. The company connects individuals with certified instructors and structured training programs designed to meet state-specific permitting requirements.
The organization operates through a nationwide network of instructors and an online platform that allows individuals to register for courses, review state guidelines, and access educational materials. Concealed Coalition does not issue permits directly; concealed carry permits are issued solely by the appropriate state or local authority following successful completion of required steps.
The training process typically includes classroom or online education covering firearm safety fundamentals, applicable laws, and responsible ownership principles. In many states, instruction may also include a live-fire qualification component conducted by a certified instructor in accordance with state regulations.
Permit approval decisions are made exclusively by the relevant issuing authority and are subject to background checks and statutory eligibility criteria. Completion of a training course does not guarantee permit issuance.
Concealed Coalition provides educational resources to help individuals understand evolving state laws, reciprocity considerations, and responsible firearm storage practices. The company emphasizes legal compliance, safety awareness, and informed decision-making throughout the training process.
Operating nationwide, Concealed Coalition supports individuals seeking structured firearm education through a standardized, compliance-oriented framework designed to align with current state requirements.

KC Brown was a fantastic instructor
KC Brown was a fantastic instructor. Very detailed in explaining the material. KC has the knowledge and expertise on obtaining your firearm license. I recommend anybody taking this course with concealed coalition that they do it with KC.

The convenience is unmeasurable. I am constantly on the go. The time can be alotted whether I am on a business trip or at home. I have enough time to get the husbandly as well as the fatherly duties completed and still have enough time to further educate myself on issues such as home protection. Thank you and keep up the great work.

If I could give a no star I would
If I could give a no star I would. Poor customer service and hidden fees. Beware of this company they will take your money and then act aggressively after you want to cancel services. I would not recommend this company to anyone. I disputed with my bank and I got my refund back from the bank. No service no money.

Waste of time
Waste of time. Your certificate is meaningless. You still have to go to the police department to actually get a concealed carry permit. I was not being wise, my bad

Thank you for taking the time to leave us this feedback, Curtis! We are certainly sorry to hear that you did not have an exceedingly positive experience with Concealed Coalition. It is always our goal to provide top-notch, professional training courses, and our website is detailed regarding what we offer. Our training courses meet all qualifications for permit application. Upon completion of your course requirements, we provide the training certification.
We do not issue permits directly because we are not a government agency. As noted, we provide training courses and guided steps for permit application through the local issuing authority in your state of residency. We also have supplemental, online, firearms education materials available to course attendees.
It is generally an individual's responsibility to understand the full carry permit application process in their state of residence, however, our team is available directly at 800-990-5594 during normal business hours for ANY questions or concerns prior to signing up, during the process, and after! We are always more than happy to assist. 🙌
