Two instructors say they plan to begin offering the eight-hour training
session next week. The class will let concealed-carry licensees to apply for enhanced permits the same day of training.
The permits will allow guns in many public places that had previously banned firearms, including bars, college campuses and the state Capitol.
Private establishments where concealed guns will soon be allowed may still
prohibit weapons but must warn carriers of such rules.
