Concealed Carry Classes (CCW)

Butler Tech Concealed Carry Classes prepare you with the required training to apply for a license to carry a concealed weapon (CCW) in the State of Ohio. Training is conducted at the Butler Tech Public Safety Education Complex in Liberty Township. This course includes classroom instructi’ range time, and live-fire training at our on-site firing range.

Butler Tech and its firearms instructors are certified by the Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission (OPOTC) to offer Concealed Carry training to the general public.

Beginning June 13, 2022, the concealed carry laws for Ohio changed, which authorizes any Ohioan 21 or older who is not prohibited by law from possessing a firearm can carry a concealed handgun without a permit. Even though permitless carry is now legal, the Attorney General’s office highly recommends Ohioans take an 8 hour CCW class in safe gun handling and to get an official concealed and carry license. The license card will ensure that you can continue to carry your handgun when traveling in states that honor Ohio’s concealed-carry license. The card also will allow you to skip the background check when you buy a gun, saving you time.
