NYS 18 Hour Pistol Permit Course

Saratoga Shooting Sports is pleased to be able to offer an approved 18 hour pistol permit course for Saratoga County residents for only $180 per student.

The next course is tentatively scheduled for the weekend of January 4th-5th.

How It Works

  1. Please express your interest in a particular course using the form below. You are not committed to attend by doing so.
  2. Once we reach a certain number of interested students, we'll begin contacting them and asking for a non-refundable 50% deposit. You'll have three days to respond before your name will be placed on the bottom of the list.
  3. Please tell us if you need to cancel after you've paid your deposit. We will refund your deposit if:
    1. You are able to find someone else to take your place.
    2. We are able to completely fill the course.

Some Important Points:

  1. Saratoga County requires that you take this course BEFORE you submit your pistol permit application. The course is valid for 6 months.
  2. All course materials will be provided to you. There is no additional expense beyond the $180 tuition.
  3. If you live in a county other than Saratoga, we will reach out to your county's licensing division on your behalf to inquire whether they will accept our course.
  4. All other details (times, locations, course requirements, etc.) will be provided to you after you're signed up for the course.
