Plumas County

559 CCW serves Merced, Plumas, and neighboring Central Valley counties with DOJ-certified California concealed carry training priced at $165 for the 16-hour initial course and $125 for the 8-hour renewal. The operation is led by a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and former Primary Marksmanship Instructor who holds DOJ certification.

Online instruction automatically saves progress, allowing self-paced completion before scheduling live-fire qualification at local ranges. The program meets Penal Code §26165 and SB2 requirements, with training structured around firearm safety, California use-of-force laws, shooting fundamentals, and responsible concealed carry. A specialized non-resident course is offered to qualified out-of-state applicants affiliated with organizations such as Gun Owners of California, CRPA, GOA, or SAF who demonstrate valid reasons for California travel. 559 CCW maintains 5.0-star Google ratings across 183 reviews, with students consistently noting the instructor's professionalism, patience, and hands-on guidance during range qualification. Direct booking is available through the website for all course options, including a 12-course firearms education bundle offered at $49.99.
