Utah Non-Resident Multi-State Concealed Handgun Permit Class - 9/12/2026
Event Details
Utah Concealed Firearm Permit / Multi-State Carry Course
Expand your concealed carry options beyond Virginia.
The DJr Empowerment Group Utah Concealed Firearm Permit Course provides the required training to apply for a Utah Concealed Firearm Permit and is taught in accordance with the curriculum established by the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI).
This is a classroom-only course. There is no live-fire requirement, and no firearm or ammunition is needed for class.
Why do I need a Utah permit if I already have a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit?
The primary benefit is expanded reciprocity when you travel.
Your Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit is not recognized everywhere. Adding a Utah Concealed Firearm Permit can expand the number of states where your concealed carry permit is recognized.
Because reciprocity and firearm laws can change, always verify the laws of each state before traveling with a firearm.

Topics include:
- Firearm safety and responsible handling

- Federal firearm laws and restrictions
- Legal use of force and self-defense

Important for Virginia Residents

Participants who show any signs of alcohol or prohibited substance use prior to class will be dismissed immediately, with no eligibility for rescheduling or a refund.
