Prereq: BGDC CCS 1 or equivalent recognized by BGDC. This class will be on the outdoor range all day but there is shade and seating for breaks and lunch. Attendees will work to build on the skills developed in CCS 1. Attendees will develop and practice intermediate skills and drills to safely and efficiently deploy the concealed carry handgun and get hits on anatomically critical locations to stop a threat. In this class we will first cover Stop the Bleed certification, then attendees will undergo a baseline assessment to identify areas of marksmanship and receive coaching to fine tune and refresh their skills. 

The course will then move into shooting and movement, shooting from cover, and shooting from close contact. Marksmanship and firearms handling skills will be reinforced throughout the entire class. Skills that will be reninforced and developed include tactical and emergency reloads, malfunction clearing, cadence and target transitions will all be covered and drilled through nationally/peer reviewed shooting drills. Attendees will leave with a set of drills to continue their CCW skills development. After completion, students will have the intermediate skills and confidence necessary to carry a concealed firearm and deploy it in a defensive encounter.
