Frequently Asked Questions

After a few years of teaching Conceal Carry in NM, I realized we are answering the same question MANY times!! That is OK, it is our job and we are happy to answer it again. For those of you looking for answers ONLINE, this may help you understand.

To get your conceal carry in NM, you will need to complete the 15 hours of training by a state certified instructor. Before or after attending the class, you can go and get your fingerprints. I wrote a separate blog about fingerprints here. Fill out the complete 2 page application. Have your Information Release form and Health Information Form signed, witnessed, and/or notarized as required.
The New Mexico Department of Public Safety Conceal Carry Unit has a website that can answer a lot of questions, but they also have forms you can download. You can fill out the application using an online form and print it out.
If you have not attended a class with us yet, this section will help you prepare —

We charge $155 for the 2 days of training. You will also need to pay $159 in additional fees for fingerprints and application fees to the state. If you decide to use our in-class fingerprint service (another local business comes in to do this) he charges a $20 fee to do fingerprints in the classroom. Check out the Fee Schedule in my blog here.

We are using a classroom located at Vigilant Firearms Training, 3915 Carlisle Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87107.   Class starts at 8 am and will end at 5 pm

We use the Del Norte Gun Club located at 208 Torcida Road, Rio Rancho, NM. For initial conceal carry courses, we will meet at King Meadows Park at 3601 King Blvd NE, Rio Rancho, NM 87144 before driving to the range, but the instructor will go over that on day 1 of the Conceal Carry course.
