Tri Tactical

Tri Tactical operates as El Cajon's go-to firearms training facility and gear shop. Their primary focus is getting San Diego County residents through the concealed carry permit process with comprehensive, state-compliant instruction.

The 16-hour Concealed Carry certification course runs Saturday-Sunday and satisfies the San Diego Sheriff's Department's legal requirement for CCW applicants. Over 1 million students have completed U.S. Concealed Carry Association courses nationwide—Tri Tactical delivers that same curriculum locally.
