Firearms Training of Western NY

Firearms Training of Western NY has been teaching the official 16-hour NYS Concealed Carry License Class longer than anyone else in Western New York. They were the first approved instructors in Erie County and remain the go-to source for pistol permit certification across the region.

Every course is fully approved by New York State Police and DCJS and 100% compliant with the Concealed Carry Improvement Act (CCIA). This matters—their instruction gets you legally cleared to apply for your pistol permit in:

• •Erie County (Buffalo, Orchard Park area)
• •NYC and Long Island (Nassau, Suffolk, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan)
• •Niagara, Chautauqua, and surrounding counties

"Safety Doesn't Happen by Accident"

Their instructors come from law enforcement backgrounds, so the training covers real-world scenarios, not theoretical guesses. They stand out by offering ongoing support before, during, and after class—something they note other NY instructors don't provide.

• •NYS/NYC 16-Hour Concealed Carry Class – the standard permit course
• •Women-Only Pistol Permit Class – tailored for female students
• •Multi-State CCW Classes – Florida and Arizona permits for those who travel
• •A.S.S.E.T. Training – Active Shooter Survival, Escape, and Engage instruction

Flexible scheduling with multiple class dates across Western NY and NYC. They commit to 24-hour response times on inquiries.
