Are you interested in off-body carry, but not sure where to start? Have you been carrying in a purse, but never been trained on how to respond in a self-defense situation? This is the class for you! In this two-part series, Shannon will teach you how to safely, and confidently carry using a variety of off body options. Learn to draw and fire safely, without risking your life, or letting the bad guy get your firearm.
