It Is Your Right To Own A Gun

Not all concealed carry classes are alike. We train you to defend your life and the lives of your loved ones.

It is your responsibility to learn to use it correctly.

You purchased a firearm to defend your home and hearth. Now what?

It may be your first gun or a new gun with which you are not familiar.

At the time you purchased it, it may have felt good in your hand, or it may be one the sales person said you needed.

But, do you know how to use it?
Do you know how to load and unload it?
Do you have the correct ammunition for it?
Do you know what to do if it jams or malfunctions?
Do you feel comfortable using it if the need arises?

If you ever need to use it to defend your life or the lives of your loved ones, you will only have one chance. You will not be afforded a seconded one.

The Surge Continues – January 2021 Gun Sales Up Nearly 80 Percent

January 2021 now holds the record for most NICS checks conducted by the FBI in any single month.

Shooting Illustrated – Guy J. Sagi : Thursday, February 4, 2021

More than 2.2 million firearms were sold in the United States in January, according to an estimate from Small Arms Analytics & Forecasting (SAAF). The number, which represents a 79-percent increase when compared to the same period last year, is based on the volume of records processed through the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Purchases made by people with a valid carry permit in regions that do not require the duplicative check, and some private transactions, are not reflected in the federal figures.

The news comes on the heels of 2020 shattering all previous high-water marks for gun purchases in the nation. SAAF estimates that of the 39,695,315 NICS checks conducted last year, roughly 23 million were firearm-sale related. Administrative use of the system, which includes concealed-carry permit application and renewal, account for the rest of the volume.

January 2021 now holds the record for most NICS checks conducted by the FBI in any single month. A total of 4,317,804 were processed. The system began operation in 1998, but until last month failed to reach the 4 million mark, despite December and June of 2020 coming in at 3,937,066 and 3,931,607, respectively.

Most experts agree last year’s upswing was fueled largely by home- and self-defense concerns due to the ongoing pandemic and periods of civil unrest, although politics contributed significantly to January’s spike, according to SAAF Chief Economist Jurgen Brauer.

“January 2021 certainly started off with a sales ‘bang’ due to the turmoil surrounding the confirmation and inauguration of Mr. Biden as the new U.S. President,” he said. “The 79-percent year-over-year increase, however, was not unprecedented—an even higher increase, of just over 100 percent, was experienced in January 2013, the month Mr. Obama’s second presidential term began.”

By comparison, the total number of NICS checks performed in January 2013 came in at only 2,495,440, roughly 1.8 million fewer than last month.

Concealed Carry Class – Sunday, February 21st

We train you to defend your life and the lives of your loved ones.

Cost: $35

Class Time: 1:00 PM

Location: Gander Outdoors – Bartow (Hwy. 60 at Rifle Range Road)

Prepaid registration is required.

Sign-up and Register for this class by CLICKING HERE.

All proceeds go to support local shooting sports programs. In-Gauge of Polk County is a registered, local, NRA chartered, non-profit organization

People have called wanting to know what makes this class a “minimum standards” class and how does it differ from a class conducted at a gun show, gun shop or an online class.

The answer is:

Our 3 hour ‘minimum standards‘ class is more comprehensive, covering more relevant material and up-to-date current events.
Our classes are both informative and entertaining
Our are classes are small and interactive
You will neither be bored or fall asleep in one of our classes.
We use modern, up-to-date audio-visual equipment
This class fulfills the training requirement for applying for a Sate of Florida concealed carry license.
Although this class includes the firing of a real, defensive caliber handgun, it does not include handgun training. That is what makes it ‘minimum standards‘.

You will leave this class with an awareness of the use of a firearm for self-defense and the defense of the lives of your loved ones that you never had. You will be presented with material you never knew existed. The material presented in this class is unmatched anywhere locally. Guaranteed.

Topics covered:
• Florida law pertaining to carrying a concealed carry weapon
• Gun safety and the fundamentals of handgun handling
• Self-Defense strategies
• What guns to purchase for concealed carry and self-defense
• Applying for and maintaining your Florida concealed carry license
• Live-fire proficiency demonstration and evaluation

Following the classroom session, the student will live-fire a handgun for safety and proficiency evaluation, as required by State law, for certification.

This is our most basic concealed carry class. The class includes all the subject material and training required for applying for a State of Florida concealed carry license and includes live-fire, firearm proficiency evaluation. This is not a firearms training class.

All equipment and materials provided

Firearm
Ammunition
Hearing protection
Eye protection
Printed course materials

All class participation information will be provided at the time of paid registration.

Online registration and prepayment is required.

For pistol/handgun training, we recommend our:

Concealed Carry Qualification Firearms Training Class – CCW 101 (5 hours) Prerequisite for NRA Defensive Pistol Course
NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting (12 hours) Prerequisite for NRA Defensive Pistol Course
NRA Defensive Pistol Course (10 hours) an advanced concealed carry class

The above listed courses exceed the State of Florida’s training requirement for applying for a Florida concealed carry license.
