Concealed Handgun Classes
Frequently Asked Questions
A CPL is the Concealed Pistol License. This is the license that allows those who meet the requirements set by the State of Michigan to carry a pistol concealed on their person, or loaded in a vehicle.
Technically, a CCW is the crime of carrying a concealed weapon without a license. However, it doubles as a slang term for a CPL.
2. We are PROFESSIONAL! We hire only the highest qualified instructors who must maintain our high-standards of training and ethics. All of our instructors have Military, Law Enforcement, Public Safety, or other qualified backgrounds and have a passion to educate and inform the students. We use a professional classroom. We use a professionally maintained and SAFE outdoor range. It’s safe, clean, & fun. We also have a professional staff working in our store. No matter if you are there for guns, ammo, accessories, or survival gear, we will have it in stock (or order it for you!) Just tell us what you are looking for and we can get it if it’s not already in stock!
3. We include a quality lunch. Most other places leave lunch up to you which delays the class and costs you extra time and money. We have partnered with local establishments to provide lunch during the class and it’s always included with your registration fee for the Concealed Handgun course.

“I signed up for the CPL class in the summer of 2013 with my wife. We were both novices, neither of us had even shot a handgun, ever. We came out not only very familiar with the laws but also with the basic shooting skills to get the ball rolling. My wife had problems with the heat and couldn’t complete the shooting portion but Brent made special arrangement for a private tutoring so she could finish up.Since then we both have our CPL and I’ve taken their advanced pistol training to help me become very competent and ‘combat ready’. It’s a class I highly recommend. To carry and be skilled enough to be ready, the advanced class is a must. These teachers really know how to help you get there. Thank you AZO, you knocked it out of the park every time.”
“I have lived in many states throughout the U.S. and have held a CPL in each one. When I moved to Michigan, I was dreading having to take yet another ‘safety course’ to get my Michigan CPL. I signed up with AZO Civil Services after seeing them on Portage Rd. while driving by one day. I was shocked when I got to their class and actually learned quite a bit. The instructors were great and very knowledgeable and made the 10-hour day fly by!I highly recommend AZO Civil Services for ANYONE looking to obtain their CPL or just general gun safety. The instructor staff is very professional, knowledgeable, and fun to be around. AZO is top notch!
