Shadow Dawg Firearms Academy does not just meet the Idaho ECCW training requirement, our course exceeds it!

The Idaho ECCW class is the enhanced carry a concealed weapon course. It is and 8 hour course that covers handgun and ammunition knowledge, handgun and ammunition safety, basic shooting techniques, defensive shooting principles, principles of self defense, and handguns and the law.

There are about 35 states that have reciprocity agreements with Idaho for the enhanced CCW. The most accurate and up to date source for which state reciprocate is the Idaho State Police web site. It is always best to check with the state you are visiting.

Once you have completed Idaho ECCW training, you will receive a form signed by the firearms instructor and the legal instructor. You take this to the Sheriff’s department in the county where you live. In some counties, the DMV handles the processing. You will pay the fee. At that time you will be finger printed. They will then run a background check, which can take up to 90 days. You will be notified when the background check is completed, at which time you can return. You are photographed and issued a temporary permit. A permanent permit will be issued within a couple of weeks.

The state requires that the following must be met: 8 hours of instruction including: basic gun and ammunition safety, basic shooting skills including 98 rounds of live fire, principles of self defense, defensive shooting principles, and handguns and the law.
