SELF-DEFENSE / GUN SAFETY CLASSES – Winter Haven, FL

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

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.

Armed Assailant / Active Shooter Defense Training Course

Another Class Graduated

In-Gauge of Polk County conducting armed assailant defense training course.

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.

Our advanced CHURCH GUARDIAN TRAINING teaches more than just how to shoot little round holes in a piece of paper hanging from a string. Our GUARDIAN TRAINING trains you how to defend your life and the lives of others, and go home at the end of the day.

There is no substitute for official . . . .
