SELF-DEFENSE / GUN SAFETY CLASSES – Winter Haven, FL
You no longer need a license to carry a concealed firearm in Florida, but that does not relieve you of the responsibility of doing so safely and having the proper training. Allow In-Gauge of Polk County to provide you with that training.

Our training is more than a concealed carry class. Ours is real, self-defense, firearms training. Contact us to learn the safe and proper use of your firearm for sport shooting, home defense or concealed carry licensing.
For far less than what you will spend on ammunition and range time trying to teach yourself, we can train you correctly in one class, without the frustration.
To register for any class, go to EVENTBRITE at . . . https://www.eventbrite.com/cc/gun-safety-firearm-training-classes-ccw-permit-229249

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.

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.

Biden Admin Expands Crackdown on “Ghost Guns“
The Biden administration has dialed up its crackdown on so-called “ghost guns” by issuing guidance that basically expands the definition of what “readily converted” means in a new federal rule and making more do-it-yourself pistol parts subject to restrictions.

We don’t want to train everyone who wants a concealed carry license. We only want to train those who are serious about learning how to defend their lives and the lives of their loved ones.

This past weekend we graduated another class of advanced, concealed carry guardians. They did not complete just another “concealed carry’ class, like those conducted at gun shows, gun shops or in rented hotel rooms. They completed over 15 hours of advanced, tactical, handgun training. You read that correctly, over 15 hours.

These advanced, trained graduates will have your back while you are shopping, fueling your vehicle or attending church services.Rest assured, there are trained people out there carrying concealed firearms among you. They may be far and few between, but they are there.
We make every effort to train as many people as possible. But, we can only train those who register to be qualified to carry a deadly weapon in public.






We don’t want to train everyone who wants a concealed carry license. We only want to train those who are serious about learning how to defend their lives and the lives of their loved ones.
Others conduct classes to qualify people to apply for a concealed carry license. We conduct classes to not only to qualify people to apply for a concealed carrry license, we qualify people to carry a deadly weapon in public.
If your concealed carry class did not look like the photos above, you may want to contact us for real, concealed carry, firearms training.

Not all concealed carry classes are alike.
