Concealed Carry Training

What makes our firearms training classes different over other training classes? Our classes are geared toward the way that real people live their lives; we are not trying to turn ordinary everyday people into Special Ops Commandos who are out to become vigilantes to save the day. Our classes are teaching real life to real people and helping them to develop a personal protection plan that meets their everyday lives and how to protect themselves and their loved ones from those who want to take advantage of them. 

We want to provide excellent information with practical range exercises designed to help good people develop the skills needed to avoid bad people and if that isn’t the end result then to help them develop the skills needed to win the fight against bad people if needed.

Our Conceal Carry training class is a minimum of 8 hours and is geared to take those who are a near novice as well as those who are more experienced shooters to acquire the basic skills that are not only required in the State of Ohio (instructors are licensed in additional states as well) but also needed to carry a concealed handgun to be used in self-defense.

The class consists of an extensive PowerPoint presentation in a relaxed classroom setting to educate the students on developing a home and personal protection plan as well as situational awareness and how to not become a victim volunteer. We then go into Self-defense firearms basics and how to use these firearms as tools with defensive shooting fundamentals safely and effectively with proper grip, stance and sight alignment using dry-fire techniques prior to live fire. The class then goes into great detail on the Federal and State legal obligations of reasonable and deadly force if defending yourself from a violent attack while discussing real life scenarios so that the student can understand how all of this can be applied in their lives on a personal level. We close out the classroom sessions with discussions on the aftermath and how to deal with the emotional and financial aspects of defending yourself from a violent attack.

Another huge part of the whole training experience is done on the outdoor range where we work on defensive & marksmanship training drills. The drills that we run our students through emphasizes firearm safety, pistol manipulation which includes how to load, unload, reload, clear malfunctions and work on their concealed carry draw stroke.  The best part about our range sessions is that they are done on an outdoor range where we have the freedom to work with the students without other shooters taking them off focus and can work on developing what will work for each student and the way that they live their lives.

Our classes definitely exceed the training requirements for the so that we can do our best to provide each student with the skills needed to defend themselves and their loved ones.
