The Concealed Carry Skills class will develop the fundamental skills necessary for you to safely and responsibly carry a concealed handgun and prevail in a violent encounter.

Our job is to prepare you for the gunfight you hope never happens. If you do get into a gunfight tomorrow you will have the skills necessary to increase the odds in your favor because we have studied how gunfights happen and the ways criminals target you and react to your actions. We then train beyond the typical or average encounter so you are better prepared.

The skills and techniques we teach are realistic and street proven. No smoke and mirrors, no egos, just pure training that will give you that edge in the fight.

NOTE: Please review the Required Equipment list below. If you do not have something on the list, contact us before the class. Arriving without the complete list of specified gear will mean that you will not be able to fully participate in the course.

More importantly, this is not a course for the new shooter. If you have never fired a handgun or have only fired your gun a few times, this is not the course to start with. You must be fully familiar with your handgun’s operation and overall firearm safety rules and practices

If you are found not to have the skills to participate in this course, your tuition will be applied to another course more suited to your skill level. Afterwards, you may re-register for this course to continue training.
