Training categories: ask what your course covers

WSP’s July update distinguishes course purposes. That is an important question to ask before choosing a class.

The source

In a July 10, 2026 update, WSP outlined its planned training-certification process and distinguished categories for concealed pistol licenses, purchase permits, and purchase-permit renewals. Read the original update.

The practical takeaway

Ask about the purpose and certification of the specific program you are considering. Avoid treating “firearms training” as a guarantee that a course meets every present or future application requirement.

Our directory separates business information from program-certification status. Until we have independently checked certification, a profile says so explicitly.
