This course starts where our permit to carry course leaves off.  This course is designed to build a solid base of fundamental skills, novice and experienced shooters will walk away a better shooter. The handgun is primarily a defensive weapon. Small and easy to conceal, it is often the first choice when selecting a firearm for self defense. The handgun is the most difficult to master in comparison to a shoulder weapon like the shotgun or carbine/rifle. If you are going to be relying on a handgun for self-defense, then you better be able to use it properly. Our emphasis is to introduce solid fundamentals, and hone the skills necessary to properly use the revolver and semi-automatic handgun in a self-defense situation.

There is no prerequisite to attend this course.  This course is not a permit to carry course, if you need a permit to carry then either consider taking a course for that from us or someone else.  You do not need to be a good shooter to attend as we will be working on making you a better shooter.  People need to competent weapons handlers when it comes to safety, as we will be working from a holster and from concealment, so safety is paramount for all.

As for the holster, a friction lock from Bladetech or Raven Concealment is fine.  We just don't want people using a cheap nylon rig that isn't secure or user friendly for concealment.

Appendix carry is fine, as long as it's a quality holster that is secure, and stays open after the pistol is unholstered.  What is not acceptable is an inexpensive nylon, synthetic, or leather holster that isn't secure, and/or collapses after the pistol is unholstered.
