This is not your ordinary concealed carry class.

This course trains you to defend your life and the lives of your loved ones.

Words of wisdom from Sheriff Grady Judd . . .

We train you to defend your life against an armed assailant or assailants. Yes, we train you how to engage multiple assailants and survive. Survive to live your life with family.

All classes meet and exceed the State of Florida’s training requirement for applying for a Florida concealed carry license recognized in 38 states.

When The Wolf Is At The Door . . .

It is too late to think about what you are going to do next.

When evil enters your world, it is too late to get prepared. You must be prepared.

Do the math. You can try to teach yourself or have your brother in-law teach you. For what you will spend on 2 boxes of ammunition and the cost of range time, we can train you the correct way to use your gun and put your shots on target in one 5-hour training session.

Take it from us, it is cheaper and less painful to take a class with us. That way you will still be on speaking terms with your brother in-law at Thanksgiving dinner.

We conduct training for all skill levels. We offer training for:

  • Personal defense
  • Home defense
  • Concealed carry licensing
  • Church and synagogue safety team training
