| Course Summary: Are you considering a concealed carry permit for personal defense? Maybe you’re a permit holder seeking a refresher or want to learn about firearms before buying one for protection. Perhaps you want to safely handle, store, and use a firearm “just in case.” If so, this is the class for you!
The Ultimate CCW Course offers valuable insights for new and experienced gun owners. It provides in-depth training to become your family’s first line of defense, combining classroom instruction, range practice, and a state-of-the-art Virtual Reality shoot/no-shoot decision-making system to help you build knowledge and skills.
This course will help you in four ways:
Understand: If you choose to own and/or carry a firearm, you dramatically increase your level of responsibility. This course will equip you with the knowledge and understanding that you need to conceal carry confidently and safely.
Plan: How would you react in a self-defense situation? Are you aware of your body’s natural physical and psychological responses? Planning for these realistic situations will give you the upper hand when the potential for a violent attack becomes real.
Avoid: It is important to understand the legal consequences of using your firearm. You will learn how to properly de-escalate a situation, and what to do in the aftermath when the use of deadly force is the only option to keep you and your loved ones safe.
Build a Home Protection Plan: For many, the home is mistakenly considered an impenetrable fortress where guards can be let down and an awareness of your surroundings is no longer necessary, but that is simply not the case. This class teaches you the importance of situational awareness through the color codes of awareness, how conflict avoidance benefits you at home, and how vital it is to be proactive versus the risks of living reactively.
Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites for this class; However, students will be required to demonstrate safe gun handling skills, such as muzzle awareness and trigger finger discipline during dry-practice and live-fire drills.
