I am certain you'll benefit from the cost savings, the vast USE of FORCE experience of the professional police firearms instructor, the high-level Street Survival & Defensive Shooting instruction, the curriculum, the instructional materials, the textbooks, and the friendly atmosphere.

Most students wish to qualify on the following Thursday morning or afternoon. Students may also choose another date and time that fits our mutual schedules.  

NoteObviously, if a student can’t make it to class on one of the night’s sessions, they can pick up the class the next evening it's presented in rotation. We are flexible!   

Prerequisite: The concealed carry of a handgun for personal self-defense is not an entry-level self-defense endeavor. CCW training is for experienced shooters who are at or near the “INTERMEDIATE LEVEL” of handgun safety, knowledge, skills & confidence. 

At a minimum, students are encouraged to have taken a USCCA Basic Firearms Fundamentals Course or the NRA Basic Pistol Shooting Course or equivalent. We offer these courses several times per month.
