Filmed in a professional production studio with a seasoned police instructor, our "Introduction to Handgun Safety" course provides an engaging, informative, and interactive way to learn about essential gun safety principles from the comfort of your own home. While this course equips you with foundational knowledge, it does not qualify you for a concealed handgun permit in Alaska.

This is the course accepted by many Alaska Courts and other organizations to satisfy legal requirements.  Press the green button to sign up and get started for free!
