Florida Firm’s Defensive Carry Course a Joke

Red Flags Before the Defensive Carry Course:
Before registering and paying for the class, I emailed Focused Fire Training to obtain the instructor’s name and qualifications. As of this writing, I still have not received an email response.

Beth Baumann – Armed American News: Nov 22, 2022

One of my goals for 2022 was to take as many training courses as possible. After receiving numerous Facebook ads for a women’s only “defensive carry course” conducted by Florida-based Focused Fire Training, curiosity got the best of me, and I decided to sign up for the course.

Another Class Graduated

This is not your ordinary concealed carry class.

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

There is more to owning and using a gun than just knowing how to pull a trigger.

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.

Although a license or permit is no longer required to carry a concealed weapon in Florida, there are several very distinct advantages to having one.

Church Security Team Experiences Negligent Discharge Injuring Team Member

A member of the armed church security team shot himself in the leg.

A Michigan church safety team experienced an accidental shooting at the Howell Gun Club in Marion Township, Livingston County, MI, on Sunday December 17.

During firearm qualification training, a member of the armed church security team shot himself in the leg.

The negligent discharge occurred while the team was practicing drawing and re-holstering their weapons. The team member suffered a gunshot injury while he was re-holstering into a groin type holster.

Others team members provided first aid and the firearm instructor drove him to St Joseph Hospital for treatment.

The Livingston County Sheriff Office investigated the shooting (report #23-06152) interviewing the victim and the firearm training instructor. Both were career law enforcement of the State of Michigan.

It is unknown if the instructor had any MCOLES or NRA certifications or qualifications to conduct a civilian security firearms training course other than law enforcement work experience.

The above described incident will not happen with In-Gauge of Polk County. All of our advanced firearm training is conducted to the strict standards of the National Rifle Association and conducted by NRA certified, advanced, tactical firearm instructors.

Our Church Guardian training consists of over 15 hours of ‘active shooter’ training that includes: situational awareness, mental preparedness, threat recognition, mitigation and de-escalation, the drawing from a holster, advanced live-fire handgun training, that included the use of cover and concealment, moving, shooting, reloading, moving between cover and concealment, managing firearm malfunctions, while engaging single and multiple assailants and Stop The Bleed emergency wound care training.

Below is an example of what their training looked like. If you or other members of your congregation would like to receive similar training, do not hesitate to contact us . . .

Regardless if you have already taken a concealed carry class or you have a Florida concealed carry license, contact us for official NRA firearms training that will prepare you to defend your life and the lives of your loved ones.

Words of Wisdom from Sheriff Grady Judd on Owning and Carrying A Gun

“I do encourage anyone who wants to own, possess or carry a concealed firearm to please become familiar with that weapon. Learn how to safely handle and fire it.” “Good firearms training is a must.” – Sheriff Grady Judd.

Florida’s new ‘PERMITLESS CARRY’ law is not as simple as many people believe. Not knowing the new law can result in a felony arrest and a criminal record.

You can either learn what’s in Florida’s new concealed carry law and carry your gun legally or you can get arrested, charged with a felony and find out the hard way from a judge.

There are benefits to having a Florida concealed carry weapon and firearm license. Learn and know what they are.

Not knowing them can result in arrest, criminal charges, an appearance before a judge, extensive legal fees, a criminal record and the loss of your 2nd Amendment rights.

ANOTHER CLASS GRADUATED

They will have your back, while you are shopping, dining out, fueling your vehicle or attending church services.

Last weekend we graduated another class of trained public guardian, concealed firearm carriers. They took and completed over 15 hours of firearms training, even though with the change in Florida law taking effect July 1st, they did not have to.

These people completed over 15 hours of advanced firearms training and will have your back, while you are shopping, dining out, fueling your vehicle or attending church services. Unlike many of those about you after July 1st, these people have been trained.

They committed to being trained in the safe and proficient use of their firearm.

Beginning July 1st, in Florida, no training, background check or licensing will be required to carry a firearm in public.

When you decide to receive training beyond that you received in a ‘concealed carry’ class and want to become confident and proficient in the use of your firearm, contact us. It would be our pleasure to prepare you to carry a firearm in public or for home defense.

Firearms training is all we do. We are your neighbors. We are the only NRA chartered, non-profit firearms training organization in central Florida. We are here to serve you.
