The Armories of Oviedo

The Armories operates 3 locations across Central Florida dedicated to concealed carry certification and firearms safety. Their core offering is the Basic Pistol Safety Class—the training required to obtain a Florida Concealed Weapons Permit.

The standout detail: they use UTM Simunition for live-fire training. These are the same training rounds deployed by the U.S. Military and numerous law enforcement agencies. The Armories' staff are trained and certified in these specialized munitions, which deliver realistic shooting conditions while maintaining safety standards that exceed typical range scenarios.

The $95 class price covers everything:

• •Firearm (no need to bring your own)
• •Ammunition
• •Range fees
• •Safety equipment
• •Certified instruction
• •UTM Simunition live-fire training

All you need to bring: a valid ID and closed-toe shoes.

Once you complete the training, The Armories recommends calling the Florida Department of Agriculture (FDOA) at 407-888-8700 to schedule an in-person appointment. This is the most efficient path to obtaining your Florida Concealed Weapons Permit.

Wait times for permits vary depending on application volume—the FDOA can provide current quotes when you call.

You can also renew your existing permit at your local county tax collector's office. Participating renewal locations exist in Osceola, Lake, Seminole, and the Orlando Regional Office areas.

The Armories operates as more than just a training facility. Their full-service operation includes:

• •Retail firearms sales (handguns, rifles, ammo, magazines, accessories)
• •Gunsmithing services
• •GLOCK Blue Label Program
• •Silencers and NFA items
• •Used firearm buyback ("Sell My Gun" program)

They stock major brands and maintain an online shop alongside their brick-and-mortar locations.

"At The Armories, our mission is to provide our valued customers the absolute best shopping experience in the firearms industry before, during and after their purchase."

Their stated core values—Integrity, Customer Service, and Respect—are baked into training instruction and retail operations. The decision to use professional-grade UTM Simunition rather than dry-fire or laser training reflects their commitment to realistic, law enforcement-standard preparation.
