Missouri doesn't require a permit to carry. So why take this class?

Because constitutional carry gives you the right. This class gives you the judgment to use it.

There are 17 places in Missouri where carrying without a permit is still a felony. Hospitals. Churches. Courthouses. Polling places. Sports arenas. Private property with posted signage. Most carriers don't know all of them. And most don't find out until it's too late.

Your permit changes that. In a restricted location, the difference between having a permit and not having one is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony. That's your record, your livelihood, your family's stability on the line.

This one-day course covers Missouri carry law, firearm safety and handling, defensive mindset, holsters and home defense, and what happens legally and personally after a defensive encounter. You'll finish with live fire qualification and walk away with your Missouri CCW certification.

We've trained over 85,000 students. New shooters, experienced carriers, and everyone in between. No experience is required. Just bring your handgun, 50 rounds of factory ammunition, and the willingness to learn.

You already have the right to carry. Come learn how to carry right.

$99. One day. Spots are limited.

Bring a lunch. You will not have time to run back to town.

A bleeding injury can happen anywhere. We've all seen it happen too often—on the news or in everyday life. Life-threatening bleeding can happen in people injured in serious accidents or disasters. Instead of being a witness, you can become an immediate responder because you know how to STOP THE BLEED®.

The person next to a bleeding victim may very well be the one who’s most likely to save him or her from bleeding to death. By learning how to STOP THE BLEED®, you’ll gain the ability to recognize life-threatening bleeding and act quickly and effectively to control bleeding once you learn three quick techniques. Take the STOP THE BLEED® training course and become empowered to make a life or death difference when a bleeding emergency happens.

Our instructors will teach you live—in person, using training materials specially developed to teach bleeding control techniques. They will not only instruct you, they will be available to check your movements as you practice three different bleeding control actions. They will keep working with you until you demonstrate the correct skills to STOP THE BLEED® and save a life.

The final step for the USCCA Level 1 Protector Academy! We'll cover the two hours needed for in-person classroom training plus provide you the opportunity to get your range qualification knocked out at the same time.

We'll help walk you through how to properly disassemble, clean, lube, and reassemble your firearm. This clinic is perfect for those new to firearms or those who would like to ensure they're handling their firearms correctly during the cleaning process.

All types of firearms welcome.

You already love firearms. You already know more than most people in the room. So why aren't you getting paid for it?

This two-day course is your path from passionate shooter to credentialed instructor — one who can legally teach, sign student certificates, and build a training business that actually makes money.

This is not an NRA "pay-and-pass" course. You can — and will be expected to — actually earn this.

---

What You'll Walk Away With: USCCA Certified Instructor credentials recognized across the country — our graduates are already teaching in Missouri, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and beyond

The legal authority to teach USCCA concealed carry courses and sign student certificates

A 50-round live-fire shooting qualification across four distances — pass with 70% or better

A written exam covering USCCA methodologies, techniques, and expectations

Classroom skills, teaching frameworks, and range management techniques to run a professional class from day one

Access to the USCCA Training Platform — where their SEO puts students in your seats

Who This Is For: ✅ Experienced shooters ready to turn their passion into purpose

✅ Current or retired military and law enforcement looking to serve their community in a new way

✅ Business-minded individuals who want to build or expand a training operation

✅ Anyone who believes that more trained, responsibly armed Americans is a good thing

This course is not for people looking for an easy certificate. The USCCA holds its instructors to a higher standard — and so do we.

---

What the Two Days Look Like: Day 1 — Classroom & Curriculum Mastery You'll work through the USCCA Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals (CCHDF) curriculum, instructor code of conduct, top instructor mistakes (yes, they're real), adult learning theory, and how to actually teach — not just recite.

Day 2 — Live Fire & Teach-Backs You'll complete your 50-round shooting qualification and demonstrate your ability to teach range skills safely and effectively. Your training counselor will give you real, actionable feedback.

Before You Arrive: E-learning must be completed 48 hours prior to the course start. No exceptions — we can see your progress, and if it's not done, you'll be rescheduled.

---

This Credential Has Accountability Built In: Once you're certified, you're expected to maintain it. USCCA requires instructors to teach a minimum of 20 students per year to stay active. That's not a burden — that's the business you're building.

---

A Note From Your Instructor: "We teach this course because we believe the firearms training space needs more professionals — people who show up prepared, treat students with respect, and understand that what we do in the classroom and on the range has real-world consequences. If that's you, we want to certify you." — Graham & Jennifer Hunt, USCCA Training Counselors, Downtown Tactical

This class was built for women by women. It starts at zero. It ends with confidence.

For the first time ever, private citizens have access to training from Armament Systems and Procedures (ASP) — a legendary provider of defensive tools and training to law enforcement officers and agencies around the world. Be Your Own Defender (BYOD) is the first and only training program of its kind. It was created, refined and tested over several years, by ASP’s international law enforcement training team. BYOD teaches key principles of personal safety, focusing on the use of the ASP Defender® OC (pepper spray) device. ASP developed this class to teach street-proven skills that can help you avoid becoming a victim.

The standard BYOD program is a moderately physical class that is suitable for people of just about any age and ability.

Five Weeks. One Purpose. Real Readiness.

You got your CCW—but deep down, you know that a license isn’t the same as preparation.

The Defensive Pistol Program exists for people who want more than permission to carry. It’s for those who want the confidence that only comes from earned skill, guided repetition, and professional coaching.

This is not a casual skills class. It’s a structured, performance-driven training program designed to develop safe, capable defenders—one tier at a time.

Over five progressive sessions, students build:

✔️Defensive marksmanship fundamentals

✔️Efficient and safe draws from the holster

✔️The balance between speed and precision

✔️Problem-solving under stress

✔️Malfunction management and single-handed shooting

✔️Orientation, awareness, and purposeful movement

Training is live-fire and intentional. Every drill has a purpose. Every standard exists to build trust in your own abilities.

How the Program Is Structured

The Defensive Pistol Program combines:

▪️Classroom instruction for context, decision-making, and mindset

▪️Dry-fire training to build neural efficiency and safe repetition

▪️Live-fire range modules that reinforce skills under realistic conditions

▪️Each tier must be completed before advancing—not to hold students back, but to ensure that confidence is built on a solid foundation.

▪️Students never lose their place due to health, recovery, or life interruptions. The program waits for you—not the other way around.

Who This Program Is For

➡️CCW holders who know they want more than “basic”

➡️Students seeking accountability, structure, and coaching

➡️Individuals committed to becoming safer, more capable defenders

➡️Those who value progression over ego

By the end of the Program, you won’t just shoot better. You’ll think like a defender—processing information faster, moving with intention, and trusting yourself to act decisively when it matters.

Most people take a CCW class to get permission. But permission doesn’t make you prepared — capability does.

This class isn’t about checking a box. It’s about starting the shift from “gun owner” to “protector.”

You’re not here to memorize rules. You’re here because you want confidence, clarity, and a path forward — not guesswork or false security.

This class builds your foundation. Our ongoing training builds your capability.

If you’re ready to become the calm, competent protector your family can rely on, your first step starts here.

Seats are limited. Reserve your spot.
