Pay the fee

Listen to the instructor

And support your state for gosh sakes!

Or, take ONE class and get BOTH licenses. Then you don't have to make a decision.

And who DOESN'T want to shoot? It's the best part of the class!

"Utah (C.C.W.) Training Course $150 (Lic.# 100336)
Pre-requisites: No criminal record* (call for details)
Course length: 8 hours
State mandated training course required to apply for a Utah (CCW) permit. Course includes all classroom and range instruction plus fingerprinting, notarization and passport photos. Does not include state fee.
Required Equipment: Handgun (revolver or semi-auto., .38 cal. or higher) and 2 boxes of ammunition."

That may be what THAT particular instructor requires, but that is not what Utah BCI requires. Utah requires that instructors teach a minimum 4 hour course (this is new for those of you who may have taken a shorter class) and cover certain specified topics (mainly firearms safety and Utah firearms laws). There is NO shooting proficiency requirement.
