In-Gauge of Polk County 2021 gift certificates available.
In-Gauge of Polk County has been conducting incomparable concealed carry classes, in Polk County, for over 6 years. During such time, we have trained over 6,000 law abiding citizens how to defend their lives and the lives of their loved ones. We receive numerous word-of-mouth referrals, with students traveling from as far north as Atlanta, Georgia and as far south as Fort Lauderdale and Naples to attend our classes.
In-Gauge of Polk County is represented at more retail sporting goods stores than any other forearms training group in central Florida.
However, we have not done a good job in getting the word out that we conduct more than basic ‘concealed carry’ classes.
Although our basic, 5-hour concealed carry training class (CCW 101), is head and shoulders above and beyond any other ‘concealed carry’ class conducted locally and far exceeds the minimum standard for applying for a Florida concealed carry license, we consider it a basic, orientation, self-defense, training class.
We encourage you to contact your local law enforcement agency and ask if they provided firearm training beyond a basic State qualification concealed carry class.
Ask that same agency or any gun shop concealed carry class provider if they train you in:
drawing from a holster or a pocketbook,
the various methods of carrying a concealed firearm,
the clearing of firearm malfunctions and jams,
the utilization of cover and concealment or
the tactical use of a shotgun for home defense.

Pastor Shot, Killed With His Own Gun Starrville, Texas – Jan. 03, 2021 Pastor McWilliams, the church’s 62-year-old pastor opened the door to a bathroom and found Woolen, the suspect, hiding inside. A scuffle ensued, and McWilliams drew a handgun, the sheriff said. Smith said McWilliams told Woolen to lie on the floor. “The pastor got distracted and Woolen (the suspect) lunged at him. The suspect was able to get the firearm out of the pastor’s hands and shot him.“ Woolen shot and killed the pastor, shot at his wife but missed and shot a third person who had non life-threatening injuries. Sheriff Smith said the other church member who was shot was also armed, but he never got a shot off at the suspect.
