Course DetailsA CCW (Concealed Carry Weapon) class is a state-mandated firearm safety training course for anyone in New York seeking to obtain or renew a concealed carry license for a pistol or revolver. Under New York’s Concealed Carry Improvement Act (CCIA), first-time applicants statewide must complete 16 hours of classroom instruction plus 2 hours of live-fire training. The course covers firearm safety, pistol fundamentals, safe storage, drawing from concealment, malfunction clearing, situational awareness, and legal responsibilities. Upon completion, students receive the required proof of training for their county licensing application.

GTS FORCE is a professional training organization built on real experience — not theory.
GTS FORCE was founded by Gaston Aguirre to deliver practical, disciplined instruction across firearms, executive protection, self defense, and related programs. With over 17 years in the New York Army National Guard and eight years on Joint Task Force Empire Shield as a Force Protection Specialist and Instructor, Gaston built the company around skills that hold up under pressure.
His training philosophy is simple: safety first, fundamentals before advanced work, and every concept applied the same day it is taught. He holds black belts in VDK and Jujutsu, has been an instructor for Tomer Israeli since 2014, and remains a student for life.
