STOP THE BLEED – Save A Life – Help us help our community

Help us save lives through our STOP THE BLEED community fundraising campaign.

A person can bleed to death in less than 3 minutes.

There is no greater feeling of helplessness than to watch someone’s life pass before your eyes, as you standby helpless without a simple $30 piece of equipment that could save their life and knowing how to use it.

Even in communities well served by EMS services, a person can bleed to death in less than 3 minutes.  It is our goal and that of STOPTHEBLEED.org to prevent needless deaths.

STOP THE BLEED training and the bleeding control tourniquet kits can be used to control severe blood loss in everyday emergencies.  Emergencies such as:

  • Automobile accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Boating accidents
  • Power equipment accidents
  • Animal attacks
  • Shooting incidents

In-Gauge of Polk County, a non-profit organization in Winter Haven, Florida is raising funds to purchase STOP THE BLEED training kits and emergency bleeding control tourniquet kits to be distributed in public venues throughout Polk County, Florida.

Our immediate goal is to purchase 2 STOP THE BLEEDtraining kits, at a cost of $1,200 each and 15 emergency bleeding control tourniquet kits, at a cost of $200 each.

The training kits will be used for training the general public in free STOP THE BLEED training classes. 

The tourniquet kits will be distributed at public venues, selected schools and other non-profit organizations.

In-Gauge of Polk County, a licensed affiliate of STOPTHEBLEED.org is raising money to purchase emergency use, blood loss control, tourniquet kits. The kits will be distributed at selected public locations throughout Polk County, for use by the public, in the event of a blood loss emergency.

CONCEALED CARRY CLASSES – Winter Haven, Lakeland, Lake Wales, Bartow

Fast, Convenient, The Minimum You Need

You can waste your time, money and the loss of your sense of welbeing by attending a concealed carry class conducted in a rented hotel room or . . .

You can attend a class the both qualifies you for applying for a Florida concealed carry license and trains you in the use of a firearm to defend your life and the lives of your loved ones

FLORIDA RESIDENTS – A concealed carry license is NOT required

What those who conduct ‘concealed carry’ classes do not want you to know:
In Florida . . .

  • NO license is required to purchase or own a firearm.
  • NO license is required to transport a loaded firearm in your vehicle. (However, one must know how to do so legally.)
  • NO license is required to use a firearm to defend your life and home.
  • NO license is required to take a firearms training course to learn how to use a firearm.

Why do we inform you of this?

We are not in the ‘concealed carry class’ business.  Rather, we are a non-profit organization that conducts self-defense, firearms training.   We want you to be trained in the safe handling, use and storage of your firearm.

Unless specifically stated that firearm/handgun training is included, NO firearm/handgun training is conducted in a ‘concealed carry‘ class. Basically, NO ‘concealed carry‘ class includes any significant handgun training.

Possessing a concealed carry license does not mean you are trained to carry a deadly weapon in public.  Rather, it only demonstrates that you paid the State of Florida $97 and passed a background check.

We want you to be trained in the handling, use and firing of a firearm for the defense of your life and the lives of your loved ones.

All our firearms training classes exceed the training requirements for applying for a Florida concealed carry license.  Upon successful completion of any of our firearms training classes, an official certificate of training is issued good for applying for a Florida concealed carry weapons license.  No other class or training is required for applying for a Florida license recognized in 37 states.

Even if you do not possess a concealed carry license or you never intend to apply for one, allow us to train you in the purchasing, handling, use, firing and storage of your firearm.

Considering taking a concealed carry class? You may want to consider this . . .

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

Not all concealed carry classes are alike.

Unless specifically stated otherwise, “concealed carry classes” do NOT teach how to handle and use a handgun.

They do NOT teach:

  • the handling of a handgun
  • the firing of a handgun
  • the loading, unloading and reloading of a handgun
  • how manage handgun malfunfunctions

To learn the techniques listed above, you have to take a handgun/pistol training class.

Maybe you or someone you know already took a concealed carry class. Did it look like this . . .

or like this?

If the “concealed carry” class you took did not include a trip the the range and the firing of a real handgun, using live ammunition, firing a minimum of 50 rounds, you attended a certificate mill class, that in all likelyhood, was more of an insurance sales seminar, not a handgun training class.

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

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 train people to carry a firearm 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 life and the lives of their loved ones.

If your concealed carry class did not look like the photos above, you may want to contact us for real, concealed carry, handgun training. Training that prepares you to defend your life and the lives of your loved ones.

Not all concealed carry classes are alike.

How many errors can you find in this photo?

We have recently seen the above photo appearing on Facebook, by a firearm training provider. The sad thing is, they are using it to promote their hundgun training classes.

  1. If you cannot detect the errors appearing in the above photo, maybe you should consider taking an NRA firearms training class.
  2. If you feel you can afford the price of ammunition and continue making the same mistakes attempting to improve your shooting performance, than disregard the errors pointed out in the photo above.
  3. If you want to learn how to dramatically improve your shooting performance in one session, contact us for NRA firearms training. Its more than just training taught by an NRA instructor.
  4. The cost of one box of ammunition will pay for the cost of one class that will improve your skills beyond your expectations.
