Total Defense, Inc Instructor

Permit to Carry Certification from Total Defense: A Personalized Fit in an Off-The-Rack World – That’s what makes us Minnesota’s Premium Shooting & Training Center.

When you get your carry certification at Total Defense you’ll receive the personalized attention that you need and deserve. Total Defense certifies thousands of Minnesotans every year for the legal carry of firearms, and throughout that experience we’ve remained steadfast in our foremost commitment to being a training facility of higher learning.

This comprehensive course also touches on the fundamentals of owning and carrying a firearm for self-defense, as well as the legal aspects of using deadly force, the aftermath of an encounter, interacting with Law Enforcement, conflict avoidance through situational awareness, the physical and physiological reactions to violence, and home security and self-defense in the home. The course also touches on gear and gadgets and the importance of continued training.

Once in the range, our highly-experienced instructors will coach and mentor you through the live-fire qualification. Unlike many of our competitors, we have the convenience of being a one-stop-shop with our indoor range being on-site, which reduces driving hassle & inconvenience, and time you spend on the class.

In this introduction module, Beth Alcazar introduces students to the basics of handgun safety, including how to safely clear (unload) a semi-automatic pistol. Alcazar goes on to explain and demonstrate the seven basic fundamentals for safe and accurate shooting. The lesson is rounded out by taking those basics, and putting them into practice both in the classroom and on the shooting range. This lesson will act as a building block as the student progresses to Women’s Intermediate Pistol.

All our Basic 101 Courses start at the core basics. From firearms safety, proper grip, stance, and sight alignment. This is a great starting point for anyone that wants to learn and grow in the shooting sports. We also offer private lessons. These can be catered to whatever you are looking to work on.

This class will cover how to properly clean and maintain firearms. Bring your firearm along and learn on yours, or we will have them available to use for the class.

Each student will receive a Free Premium Cleaning kit for participating in this class!! A $45.00 VALUE!!!!

We are very excited (if you couldn’t tell!) to bring our very comprehensive series of “micro-seminars” to each Tuesday evening as part of the Ladies Night experience. These seminars will begin at 6pm and will last from 25-45 minutes each Tuesday and are totally FREE! We will start with the basics and expand into many different areas related to PTC and self defense. We are also focusing these topics to relate to our female clientele in all aspects of firearms, training, modes of carry, self-defense around kids / family members, firearm security in the home, apparel, self-defense in the public arena, establishing a self-defense plan in the home, defensive shooting basics, training scenarios and many, many other topics. We are hopeful that many of our awesome female customers will start this journey with us, as well as the friends and family they invite to join them. Each weeks seminar will be taught by USCCA Certified Instructor Angela Wilson, and she will be available for the entire evening for follow-up questions and deeper discussion. We are also hoping for participant input and suggestions for future class topics as this group of students grows together. So please JOIN US, INVITE YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY to join us for our event every Tuesday evening to discover what these will be all about. Stop in, join in the discussions, grab some refreshments, and join the ever-expanding community of defense minded women!
