Every law abiding citizen needs to know how to defend him or her self and be able to do it. We want to train you how to do it, which involves more than owning a gun.

We want to train you to defend your life and the lives of your loved ones. Contact us for real life self-defense training . . . www.ingaugeofpolkcounty.com
You may be aware that a license is no longer required to carry a concealed firearm in Florida. Not that a license ever was required to have a gun in your vehicle. But, if you carry one or plan to carry one, you need to be proficient in its use and know when you can legally use it. Our ARMED ASSAILANT/ACTIVE SHOOTER DEFENSE COURSE does just that.
Our ARMED ASSAILANT/ACTIVE SHOOTER DEFENSE COURSE not only trains you in the safe use of you firearm to defend your life and the lives of your loved ones, it develops in you a defensive mindset, trains you in situational awareness, how to recognize a potential threat and avoid that threat. And, if necessary, how to use your firearm to neutralize a threat.
Our ARMED ASSAILANT/ACTIVE SHOOTER DEFENSE COURSE is an advanced level training class that takes the beginning, novice shooter from the introduction of a handgun for self-defense to the advanced level of defending his or her life against an armed assailant.
At the completion of our ARMED ASSAILANT/ACTIVE SHOOTER DEFENSE COURSE the participant is awarded an official NRA certificate of training recognized in all 50 states and is good for applying for a Florida concealed carry weapon and firearm license.

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.

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:

“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.


We conduct Florida concealed carry license and handgun training classes. Contact us to enroll in a class at: 863-206-1996
