Course Overview

This 8-hour course is designed to pick up right where your basic, state-mandated concealed carry course left off. Transitioning from carrying a firearm in theory to carrying one every day in practice requires a higher level of understanding, preparation, and skill.

This curriculum bridges the gap between basic certification and real-world readiness. Our goal is for every student to leave this course with the unwavering confidence to carry their firearm every day, and the precise, practical skill to effectively employ that firearm if a life-threatening situation ever arises. This course is for the responsible armed citizen, military service member or law enforcement officer with the desire and/or requirement to discreetly carry a concealed handgun every single day.
