This is a USCCA class based on a section of their book "Concealed Carry and Home Defense". In this class we discuss reasonable and deadly force, defense of your home and property, how a prosecutor may evaluate your case, and much more. This is a great class for those responsibly armed Americans (and those stiving to be) that don't mind taking an hour or so out of their day to understand in further detail legal use of force.

This is a USCCA class based on a section of their book "Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals". In this class we will go over the importance of having a personal and home protection plan, situational awareness, observing your environment, and so much more. Developing a personal and home protection plan is only a part of what makes us responsibly armed Americans.

Using the USCCA Countering the Mass Shooter Threat curriculum, we will discuss the facts we know from past mass shootings which allows us to develop our own Emergency Operation Plan for before, during, and after such a threat. We will also discuss what can and should be done to avoid this type of disaster all together. This is a crucial course for anyone who is a student, teacher, employee, in management, and/or attends services at a place of worship.

This class is for responsibly armed mothers (and grandmothers) only. During this class we will discuss the Legal Use of Force. After the presentation we will have a round table discussion to help those like minded moms answer their questions about this topic and how to go about it while their children are present.

In this class we discuss the signs available for hopefully identifying a mass shooter before it’s too late. We will also walk through the process of developing an emergency operations plan. Most people have heard of the Run Hide and Fight Methods but not many discuss triage and treatment of the wounded. All of the above are topics in this class and all of these topics can be implemented beyond a place of worship and considered for your school or even place of business. Of course we do have a focused discussion on the special considerations that need to be taken in a place of worship.
