When I took my Utah non-resident course, they gave out certificates. For my NY one, no papers.
In NY, the permit itself is proof of the course, as you cannot get one without the other.I got one from my instructor in Oklahoma, many years ago. If you did not recieve one from your instructor, you need to contact him about it. At some point in the future you may need it as proof of the course.
How many of you all got a concealed weapons permit training certificate from your intructor? I didn't.
Not in my case, my instructor(retired LEO) signed my application documentation, I filled it out and sent it away!AFAIK, in SC you need to send a copy of your training certificate to SLED in order to get your CCW.
