What Is a Concealed Carry Permit?

A concealed carry permit allows a qualified individual to legally carry a concealed firearm in public. In Arkansas, this permit requires completing a state-approved training course that covers firearm safety, legal responsibilities, and the proper mindset for responsible carry. The permit represents more than permission it reflects a commitment to public safety, lawful decision-making, and responsible firearm ownership.

What Is the Basic Concealed Carry Permit Class?

The Basic Concealed Carry Permit Class is the required foundation course for obtaining an Arkansas concealed carry permit. This beginner-friendly class focuses on firearm safety, legal use of force, and responsible carry practices through classroom instruction and a brief shooting portion.

Very knowledgeable During class, Logan made sure that we all understood the importance of gun safety as well as having a first aid kit, ready at the helm. For those who have never shot an AR – 15 such as myself It is a different experience than shooting an ordinary Rifle. He taught us the proper stance and different techniques to use with this gun.
Out on the shooting range, he took us through drills and made sure that the techniques we went through in class for safety was practiced. Logan went the extra mile To make sure we knew how to shoot properly and if we had a problem, he was right there to help. I really appreciated The time he took with me As I am left-handed and was using a right handed gun, and believe me that is no easy task. But I loved shooting the targets and look forward to doing lots of target practice.
They are very professional and I recommend them Highly

We searched for a class to do with my two youngest boys that involved the AR 15. While we have several, we didn’t really understand this ar platform. We hit the jackpot with this team. First off: we received a warm welcome and accommodating response from Angela and a follow up email detailing the class. While there were no scheduled class, both Angela and Logan jumped to action to make this happen for my family. This was a gift for christmas. While there were a few sites that fell through for the range, Logan was and is a problem solver and a very good communicator. Class was interactive and informative. Logan was patient and accommodating to every level of the student that attended. Range time was a blast!!! Lots of hands on learning especially when we had function issues with our gear (mostly user error on my part)…Logan even allowed us to use his personal items when our ARs failed in some area. That is unheard of in this industry and Logan did not have to allow a student to operate his equipment. We took away an experience that not only generated 3 hrs of excited conversation home but a foundation in which to build a solid discipline of the AR 15 for a lifetime. My kids are trying to “work me” for another class with Logan and his family. I am certain that we will be back again. Thank you to all the guys on the range that accommodated our family but also to the Lee family that made a memory for us. The Atkinsons

I learned about how to change your mindset to be data oriented in the decisions you make with concealed carry. Know why you are choosing your gun, holster, how much ammo to carry. Logan taught us to make informed decisions with these details based on data. I would highly recommend Logan Lee and 141 Shooting Range

Logan was a no holds barred instructor that presented the material in way that was easy to remember. I had a high school history teacher that made his students memorize all of the presidents. Knowing them got me out of guard duty in Basic Training. If you don't know at the 1st five amendments in our Bill of Rights, might want to brush up. Just a hint, he's going to ask if you know them...I would recommend this class to any and everyone who wants to earn their enhanced concealed and carry, even if you have already completed the training somewhere else, it's worth the time. Thanks Logan!

couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. From start to finish, the course was informative, well-structured, and professionally delivered.

The instructor was outstanding—extremely knowledgeable, patient, and approachable. They provided clear explanations of state laws, firearm safety, and the responsibilities that come with carrying a concealed weapon. What really stood out was how they emphasized real-world scenarios and decision-making, not just the legal and technical aspects. It made the material feel practical and relevant.

The hands-on portion of the class was equally well-run. Safety was always the top priority, and the instructor made sure everyone was comfortable and confident before moving forward. Whether you’re a beginner or someone with firearms experience, the class was tailored in a way that met everyone’s needs.

By the end of the course, I felt both educated and empowered. I walked away with a solid understanding of not just how to carry legally, but how to do so responsibly.

Just had the opportunity to complete my enhanced concealed carry class at 141 Shooting Range. Logan provided a very thorough explanation of many different situations and scenarios during our class. He was very professional, and made you think about things more than just shooting your weapon. I was very impressed with his approach to teaching our class.

A great line up of classes. The 10x class was awesome. I highly recommend this line up of classes for everyone. As a veteran I still learned from taking this class. It doesn't matter how much you practice you can not practice enough. If you are not practicing right you are setting yourself up for failure. I learned shooting positions in the defensive handgun class that I haven't seen before and will be using while practicing in the future. I will definitely be looking into future classes for more extensive training. Thank you Logan for putting this together and definitely enjoyed be there and would recommend anyone that has a child to take the 10x class line up.

Logan is the best instructor ever!!! He treated me like his own daughter, and made sure I felt comfortable during the basic/enhanced course and my exam. He also offers other courses that I will be pursuing as well. He gives you way more information than a typical state course. One thing that stood out to me was that he made sure that we understood everything and i will emphasize this again comfortable and confident. You can tell he is passionate about firearm safety, and you wont find too many instructors like this. Thank you again Logan i look forward to my next class!!!

I signed up for my concealed carry license with 141 over 10 years ago and have gone back for my renewals every 5 years since then. Mr. Lee is very thorough, explains things concisely, and answers any and all questions attendees ask. I attended an enhanced training for my renewal during this last session and he assisted me with online course materials I needed before doing the in person class and training and told me when to arrive to do my renewal.

If you sign up for a class, be sure to read everything you need and prepare yourself for the class before you actually attend. I had a few people in my class show up unprepared and because they were unprepared it slowed everybody else down, that's not the fault of the range or the owner but the people that signed up. Be prepared and pay attention, you will learn and gain some valuable information. Great experience getting my license and going through the renewals. Would recommend.

While taking this course I learned the correct way to save the life of someone else. I’ve been in the situation of using CPR on a loved one. I didn’t know then what I know now! This class has made me realize that my safety is also important during the process. I also learned the importance of using my senses during the process! Would definitely recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn the proper technique of CPR!

Logan was an amazing instructor, his experiences and professions have been very helpful for him to teach his students to the best they can be. He made sure that we all had participated in questioning and actually practicing the CPR care, along with learning the AED. He informed us that we would all be better if we were focused on smells and sounds rather than just relying on sight and that can keep others and our selves protected. Overall he made sure that we were open and got things wrong, to practice what was correct and better ourselves to help someone in need in the future. I made a new friend in this class as well and have thought and recommended others to learn from Logan. Hope that he keeps up the amazing work and support to help others better themselves.

I’ve taken CPR classes since 2013 when I first received my CNA certification. In all those years I feel I have received inadequate training for CPR. Today I feel that I was given all the tools to properly give the best care and keep myself safe. That adequate care only comes when we are able to use are sense and have the knowledge, skills and training to be fully prepared for giving the best help to the person in need. Mr. Lee is passionate and knowledgeable about his knowledge and skills and teaches to not only be in a medical setting but a world setting to be able to provide the care needed whatever the situation may be.

Really recommend Logan for CPR training. His teaching is professional and easy to understand. His way of making you think about every day life and what your surroundings are to make yourself safe before taking care of others. The practice on the dummies was an eye opener for me not realizing how hard and fast the compressions have to be.
