CCW Course Information

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

We do this for the love of it! All of our instructors are law enforcement officers who believe in the empowerment of the citizens of our community. We are not out to rush you through this course so you can start carrying a gun. We are passionate about what we do and we feel that anyone who is thinking about taking a concealed carry course should take the decision seriously. Therefore, we are dedicated to the process of educating our students about all aspects of concealed carry and self-defense. We will be there before, during, and after you complete one of our courses and we are dedicated to our students leaving with a positive experience about our courses!

COURSE OVERVIEW:

The course consists of a 6-7 hour classroom portion and 1-2 hours of range time.

The first half of the day is Basic Pistol and Safety items required by the state. Over lunch, we will discuss Situational Awareness issues in a public and retail settings.

After lunch, the afternoon is an in depth and interesting session on self-defense decision making, applicable state statutes for self-defense and concealed carry, what a shooting scene looks like, interaction with the police investigation. We will also learn what to do if you have to brandish your hand gun, how to handle panhandlers, what a shooting scene looks like, and the effects of PTSD on you and other family members.

There is also a 1-2 hour range portion that will be scheduled at some point within the course time.
