What You'll Learn

BASIC PISTOL CLASS IS A PRERQUISITE

(I have been verified as an Instructor by Oahu PD and this class will meet the standards of the proposed Bill 1230)

Advanced Course stepping into the lifestyle of Concealed Carry. We'll go over Defensive Shooting, Use of Deadly Force, Violent Encounters and the Aftermath, Gears and Gadgets and other topics. We'll engage in discussion and scenarios. Topics will include (firearm safety, proper use of firearms, firearm restrictions related to domestic violence, firearm use in low-light situations, firearm retention, risks of carrying firearms in public, safe carrying and storage of concealed and unconcealed firearms, and chapters 134 and 703 of Hawaii Revised Statutes). Time permitting, we'll dryfire with your firearm and holster in class (NO LIVE AMMO).

At the Range, we will have a Safety Brief and go over dryfire skills. Once everyone is comfortable and safe, we will get into Live Fire instruction.

The Shooting Proficiency Test (required by HPD) will be an option, additional fees apply. $25 if taken same day as class. $50 within 90 days of class. $150 past 90 days or if for renewals. $30 each additional pistol.

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

**NOT a BASIC Course.** Must have had formal Basic Pistol class. Please call or text if you aren't sure. Hunter Ed is not a Basic Pistol Course. In Person/Hands On training within the last 5 years. Please text or email proof of training before registering. **Proficiency Test uses an IDPA/USPSA (soda box) size target. Hits in the outer ring of body won't be counted. Complete miss will be a failed attempt, 3 attempts per session. Min 80% to Pass. Distances from 3yds to 15yds. One Handed Shooting Left and Right. We will NOT be kneeling. Safety infractions will results in a Fail, another retest day must be booked and paid for. I will not sign the Proficiency Test if you get 2 (Two) warnings for finger on the trigger or in the trigger guard when it shouldn't be; ie barrel level to the ground, downrange with the intent to shoot. I keep seeing this habit in class, even when people swear they don't have bad habits. It's rule #2 for the NRA and #3 in the Universal rules for safe gun handling, PERIOD. If you fall in this category, I am not sorry, I will not sign my name saying you are safe and proficient, regardless of how well you shoot. **Minimum of 4 persons to run course. May be rescheduled to later date if not enough sign up 1 week out.** ***Participation in this course does NOT guarantee you will receive a Certificate of Completion OR a signed Proficiency Test . I reserve the right to refuse services to anyone.***

    "I highly recommend this USCCA instructor, Brian Cabreira. He was extremely knowledgeable, and the course content was both relevant and directly applicable to real-world situations. His understanding of Hawaii Revised Statutes, especially regarding CCW laws, was clear and thorough, which made complex topics easy to understand. What stood out most was his strong emphasis on firearm safety and attention to detail. He also took the time to provide individualized feedback on shooting techniques, which was incredibly helpful and led to noticeable improvement. Overall, an excellent instructor and a very worthwhile class. "
