Kurt Gepke runs a great CCW class. You will feel like you are hanging out with a friend chatting about guns, while you learn what you need to know.

I don't know if it's standard, but for the shooting qualifier, maybe Kurt will also let you shoot his special toys!

pm me for contact info if you'd like.

sarana,
Since your last visit to Las Vegas, Nevada has ceased to recognize the Utah permit. FYI

Don is right, unfortunately. That happened last summer; I believe Nevada took this action claiming that Utah's requirements for a CCW were not sufficiently stringent to meet the law here.

Nevada does allow out-of-state people to apply for and obtain a Nevada CCW, however, so if you're here frequently, it might be worth your while to consider it. (I carry both Nevada and Utah CCWs.)

I'm headed to Vegas on Friday and meeting Kurt for my class on Sunday. I'm bringing my 2 Glocks with me and he's lending me his S & W revolver so I can qual on that at N/C.

As Phoebe said, his rep amongst the locals is outstanding. Here is a link to his website. I signed up because of her and a few other recommendations about Kurt

Ditto on the previous post. NV DOES NOT recognize either FL or UT any longer.
