Concealed Carry Class in North Dakota




North Dakota is Permitless Carry, but you can get a permit which will allow you to carry in states that recognize the North Dakota permit. Read on to learn the training requirements.

Name: North Dakota Concealed Weapons License

Issuer: Attorney General

Type of State: Shall-Issue

Training Required? Yes, but Class 1 requirements differ from Class 2

Type of Training Accepted: Class 1 – A training class that goes over weapon safety rules and the deadly force law of North Dakota, where you will complete an open book test based upon a manual.
You will also need to complete a live-fire exercise to demonstrate proficiency.
You must demonstrate familiarity with a firearm or dangerous weapon and can do this by: being certified by the attorney general for familiarity with your firearm, including law enforcement officers, military or civilian firearms instructors, hunter safety instructor, or dangerous weapons instructor; showing evidence of equivalent experience with a firearm or dangerous weapon through participation in organized shooting competition, law enforcement, military service, or dangerous weapon course of training; possessing a license from another state to carry a firearm (concealed or otherwise), which is granted by a state upon completion of a course like the one described in this section; qualifying to operate a firearm or dangerous weapon during military service.

Class 2 – You must complete the open book test offered for the Class 1 license.

Length of Training: N/A

Cost of Training: $50 maximum

Notes: North Dakota changed to a 2-tier licensing system in 2011. The licenses are equally recognized in ND. For reciprocity purposes, however, Class 1 licenses are recognized by more states than Class 2 licenses, because of the tougher training requirements.

To renew a Class 1 license, you must complete the Class 1 requirements from your original application.

No training is required to renew a Class 2 license.
