Who is this course for?

This course is for anyone interested in having the ability to exercise their right to keep and bear arms. The primary reason is for students to apply for a Florida concealed weapons license which allows individuals to carry a firearm on their person concealed.

A secondary reason is for a partner or significant other to have the legal right to own and retain the firearms in the case the primary firearms owner is no longer able. This could be the result of an accident, sickness, aging, a temporary legal situation, or another condition that makes the firearm owner unable to possess a firearm legally.

Course materials and prerequisites

There is only one prerequisite for this course. Each student must bring a copy of their criminal history, validating they are not a convicted criminal. This report can be obtained (click here) at zero cost. If a student shows up for a class without this for any reason, they will forfeit their course tuition and be ineligible to attend the present course.

There are other material requirements for the course. While some shooting experience is always welcomed, zero shooting experience is where this course starts.

FAQs

Does this count as a required course for Florida concealed weapons permit application?

Yes, this course exceeds the training requirements for the State of Florida to apply for  Florida concealed weapons license.

How important is safety in this class?

It’s everything.

At any time, if a student is unsafe, the course will end immediately for that student. There are no refunds for unsafe acts. It’s a one-strike policy.

Why isn’t this course $59.99 like a course I found online?

Our goal isn’t to pump out as many permit students as possible. Our goal is to promote the shooting sports, educate properly, and empower law-abiding citizens to exercise their right to keep and bear arms.

This requires more than the Florida legal minimum to do that. Additionally, we found that our students, whether new to defensive tactics or former military, are interested in the latest techniques for self-defense.

Also, this course gives students the ability to shoot various handguns and get some great experience shooting and a feel for what’s most comfortable to carry.

Are there general classroom rules?

NO firearms in class. NO live ammo in class.

What is the typical class size?

The average class size is 3-4 students.

What do I get from this course, bottom line?

The ability and confidence to defend yourself, your loved ones, and assets under your protection.
