Disclaimer: This tuition is for
my teaching time only and does not guarantee that you will qualify for a
concealed weapons permit. If I sincerely believe you are not capable of
handling a handgun safely, I reserve the right to refuse to certify anyone
(However, if I believe you have the capability to shoot safely, but simply lack
the experience, I am willing to let you attend the range with me for further
instruction AT NO EXTRA COST TO YOU until you GET IT RIGHT!!!!! [where else are you going to find that kind of guarantee!!!])
If you have a criminal record, you may not qualify. You may phone the Bureau of Criminal
Identification at 801.965.4445 to arrange for a printout of your criminal
record and for questions about whether your record will disqualify you for a
Utah Permit.
