What You'll Learn

Reptilian Response and the USCCA have developed a robust curriculum to provide a good foundation for the responsibly armed citizen. Florida is a Constitutional Carry state, with more Floridians exercising their right everyday! Gain critical knowledge in defensive shooting and home defense, understand the state laws as it relates to carrying a firearm... where you can carry? what to consider when carrying? and navigating the events should you have to use your firearm to defend life.

Cancellation Policy: Students are required to cancel at least 48 hours in advance of a class date in order to receive a full refund. Classes cancelled less than 48 hours before the class will not be refunded.

What We'll Teach

Concealed Carry & Home Defense Fundamentals

Lessons:

  • Developing a Personal and Home Protection Plan
  • Self-Defense Firearms Basics
  • Shooting Fundamentals
  • Gear and Gadgets
  • The Legal Use of Force
  • Violent Encounters and the Aftermath
  • Basic and Advanced Skills

Other topics covered: Personal Safety, Handgun Safety, Handgun Fundamentals, Handgun Operation, Handgun Selection, Physiological Reactions to Violent Encounters

Over 1 million students have taken the U.S. Concealed Carry Association’s course offerings across the nation. Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals is a comprehensive classroom course for anyone considering owning or carrying a firearm for self-defense. If you are new to handguns, this is a great introduction to everything you need to know to start your self-protection journey.

This course is a complete guide to understanding the basics of firearms ownership, safety, and nomenclature, and how it applies to home- or self-defense. After this class, students will feel confident to act as their family’s first line of defense in the event of a home invasion or other critical incident.

Additional Notes from Your Instructor

This course will have a qualification of (5) shots on target. A firearm IS NOT required for this course and we will have a firearm available for your qualification, however, if any customer chooses to bring their own firearm (especially the one they are considering carrying) is preferred. The firearm and ammunition provided is 9mm caliber. If a student-owned firearm requires a different caliber, the student must provide their own ammunition.

    "Some sort of class materials would help with retention."

    Submitted on Sun, Dec. 7, 2025 by James M.

    "Thanks James, we do have the USCCA book to go with the class curricula, however it is an additional charge. We do offer it at a discount rate for our students below what the USCCA sells it for. Hopefully the classroom experience will improve over time. Hope to retain your business, thanks for choosing Reptilian Response."
