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.

Mostly well put together. Small gaps in some slide flow but overall pretty good. Videos were good. Some (like cleaning and different pistol types) got a little dry. Other ones were good.

I have not finished all of the training videos but everything else is gone very well. I'm wondering when I'm going to receive my card.

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.

One Hell Of A Day For The Price = Priceless

Well the First thing I admire was the great warm GREETING earlier in the morning from "Susan" who became accommodating through the Training and the Second thing that I loved about the Whole Training is how well all of the questions got answered no matter how little, how difficult or how repetitive it was "Joe" & "Matt" were spot on with trying to answer all at the best of their knowledge & ability... Seeing that neither one of them were Attorneys which was mentioned throughout class (LOL). The classroom portion was INFORMATIVE, DETAILED, DUMPED/slowed down that it made you worried how Ignorant you been to Laws & Rules that surrounded: Ownership, Carrying, Storge of a Firearm(s)....plus Protecting your self & love ones.
The Thrid thing is the Gun Range portion of the Class was fun cause one you are told the PROPER way to: Hold, Shoot, Aim the Firearm while getting shots on traget ober & over again makes you feel a sense of proud and self worth....So in closing i Recommend EVERYONE who's anyone take this Class/Training you will not be disappointed promise.
I tell you what if I could I would keep taking any class this Coalition recommend with these two/three in it "Thanks Again Susan, Matt &Joe" enjoyed the Whole day

Concealed Weapon Training

The team John and Larry were outstanding. Their knowledge regarding Texas laws/codes for concealed carry is phenomenal. The emphasis on safety and being responsible was in point, as well as interaction with the class during Q & A as well as safety and guidance at the firing range. Truly dedicated instructors and definitely there to provide the best training experience ever! Thank you!

I Didn't Expect How Great This Class Would Be

I didn't expect the sheer quantity of information and education I was about to receive. Kenneth "K.C." Brown also made sure that this education was delivered in a very high quality way.

We recieved a plethora of very valuable information from knowing your rights and knowing the law in general, and education on how to de-escalate and escape what could end up being a very bad situation.

We were also taught a bunch of reasons why situations may not play out how we imagine and also how to analyze a situation and think outside the box to prevent something that could be otherwise avoidable. K.C.'s training reminded me of early martial arts training where you were mostly taught to avoid conflict at all costs.

That said, we were also educated in certain processes and procedures when action becomes unavoidable. This is in addition to tons of instruction on how to properly and safely handle, carry and store a firearm.

This was a truly valuable experience that should be mandatory for every individual as it properly educates you about a host of things that you'd never even think about in certain situations. K.C. is also extremely adept at making you think about situational awareness in a whole new way and really takes his time to make sure you understand everything you're being taught.

Concealed Coalition delivers a truly intense, informative training package in over the course of the 18 hours. There are also regular breaks, so you don't feel fatigued during the entire process.

I thought the training was going to be mostly about how to handle, how to carry and some right and wrong, but I feel like I left with a whole new bit of life education. K.C. Brown and Concealed Coalition truly did an amazing job at making this class an enjoyable, invaluable experience.
