California CCW
San Jose PD CCW Training
Gun Kraft provides CCW training for students applying through San Jose PD.
When Can You Train
Do not take your CCW training until you've been approved. They will reject any training completed before approval. Our classes meet the training requirements of San Jose PD.
Allowed Pistols and Modifications
You may list up to two firearms on your permit. Any legal firearm modifications are allowed. Optics, magazine disconnect removal, and lights are okay—as long as they're legal.
No Holster Required
You do not need to bring your own holster. We’ll teach you proper holster draw technique using our equipment. If you've never drawn from a holster before, please do not try to self-teach before class. Bad habits form quickly, and it takes far more reps to unlearn them than to do it right from the start. Drawing from a holster isn’t complicated—but form matters.
Range Qualification
- You must qualify with each firearm you list on your CCW
- Passing score is 70% inside the 7-ring of a B-27 target at each distance
