We know that so many of you are hungry to learn how to protect yourself the right way, but lack time, bullets and money to do so. This is a 2 1/2-hour down-and-dirty, just the bare minimum basics you will need to safely handle and use your handgun. We’ll cover Use of Force Laws and how to Safely Handle and Store your handgun. You’ll learn how to break your gun apart and put it back together for cleaning purposes.
Our course will enable you to still get some quality training with your own handgun without having to sell an organ to do so. Our team of professionals will guide and assist you as you learn how to get a good grip, sight picture, sight alignment, trigger squeeze and follow through; without the bang! If you don’t own a pistol yet, our team can properly “fit” you with one that you can try before you buy.
Don’t let the lack of money, bullets or time be the reason you don’t get the quality training you need. If you want to learn, we want to teach you. Get yourself signed up for our crash course in handguns. There are no bullets needed for this course, and there are no loaded guns permitted in the classroom.
Register now and we’ll send you a code to receive a 15% discount on our LEVEL 1 LEGAL & HANDGUN FUNDAMENTALS EDUCATIONAL VIDEO! That way you can do the hands-on training at our Handgun 101 and then complete the full Level 1 in your home at your leisure! Why is that so important you ask? Well, because the Level 1 is a prerequisite to take our Level 2 CCW Defensive Handgun (Live-Fire) Course. You can do the Level 1 in your own home at your leisure OR at our facility; your choice. We just want to encourage you to continue on your quest to being a safe and responsible gun owner. If we can save you some time and money doing so, then it’s a bonus for everyone!

“It’s better to get the quality training you need Now, while the time is Right, before you find yourself in a situation wishing you had our training Right Now!”

Although you don't need to have one, the Boy Scout motto is that, "It's better to have and not need, than need and not have." If you don't have a CCL yet and are transporting a firearm in your vehicle, you will need to make sure that all the bullets are in a separate container and your pistol is in a separate container without any bullets in it or with it. Both of these need to be in a location in your vehicle that is not easily accessible to the passengers.
Please be sure to park on the righ-hand side of the parking lot as you pull in. You will see the Porta-Johns on the same side as where you are to park your vehicle.
