You Got the Permit. Now Train to Survive.

The gun is just the beginning — learn what it really takes to carry confidently, act decisively, and win the fight before and after the trigger pull.

Note: This is NOT the class you take to get a carry permit. It is a class that goes beyond what is taught in the carry permit class.

A Permit Doesn't Prepare You for the Real Fight

Most people who carry a handgun haven’t trained under pressure, drawn from concealment, or had to make a split-second life-or-death decision.

Most gun owners are dangerously undertrained.

The permit course taught you the laws. Maybe you even shot a target at 3-7 yards. But none of that prepares you for the chaos of a real-life violent encounter.

What if your gun jams?
What if they’re on top of you?
What if you're not alone?

In the real world, you don’t get a second chance.

This course bridges the gap between your permit and the reality of self-defense — helping you avoid hesitation, legal disaster, or worse.
