Concealed Carry 101 was born out of the need to quickly and efficiently get students "up and running" with self-defense and concealed carry handgun skills. We frequently pair this class on a weekend with our Level 1: Intro to Handguns class, which is the mandatory pre-requisite for this class, to give students an opportunity to train for an entire weekend. 

Defensive Handgun is the required pre-req for our Handgun Special Interest Seminars. This class is frequently paired up with the Carbine Moving/Shooting seminar. (See Full List)

Combining the curriculum of Level 2: Defensive Handgun and Level 3: Tactical Handgun classes, along with the Special Interest Seminar Wounded/Downed Defender and a run at the FAS Handgun Master Test into a very worthwhile, week-long training course for the student who can take a full week away from their jobs and families. This class is 5 days, Monday through Friday.

This 2-day course picks up where Level 2: Defensive Handgun leaves off and goes more in depth into aspects of concealed carry and home defense.

(Starting Point Class) - Intro to Handguns is the start to our handgun curriculum and is the required pre-req for Handgun Fundamentals and Concealed Carry 101. These other Level 1 classes require students to have their own handgun and are paired with an Intro on the same weekend to allow students the opportunity to create their own 2 day class. Our other entry point into our handgun curriculum is Defensive Handgun which is required for all of our higher level handgun classes. (See Full List)

Continuing where our Level 1: Intro to Handguns class left off, this class focuses on marksmanship fundamentals and manipulations of defensive handguns. We will be working from the bench so a holster is not required. This class is for those students who want a refresher or to get more familiar with basic manipulations and fundamentals before continuing their training. We will be on the range for the majority of class focusing on safety, handgun manipulations, accuracy, and other skills that will prepare students for future classes.

Topics of instruction include: Firearms safety, types of handguns, loading and unloading, reloads, eye dominance, stance, grip, sight alignment, trigger control, follow through, presentation from ready positions. Lunch lecture will be on holster and gear selection for carry or training.
