We’re offering a free community class focused on the Byrna launcher, a less-lethal personal defense option. In this class, we’ll cover:
• The role of distance and time in personal safety • How less-lethal tools fit into a layered safety plan • What the Byrna launcher is designed to do • Practical demonstrations • Optional hands-on experience
Our goal is not to convince you to buy anything — it’s to give you enough clarity to decide whether this tool has value in your own safety planning.
If you’ve been wondering:
• Does it really work? • What does it feel like to fire? • Is it right for me or my family?
Come see for yourself. This is part education, part live demonstration, and part hands-on experience — all in a safe, controlled setting.
Byrna launchers, projectiles, and accessories will be available for purchase for those who decide it’s a good fit.
Drawing from concealment is one of the most critical — and least practiced — defensive handgun skills.
In a real-world defensive encounter, hesitation costs time. Efficient presentation from concealment requires repetition, refinement, and the ability to make sound decisions under pressure. Yet very few environments allow you to safely practice this skill in realistic scenarios.
This class is designed to change that.
Participants will receive foundational instruction drawn from USCCA defensive shooting principles, followed by immersive scenario-based practice inside our 300-degree simulator. Using SIRT training pistols and concealment holsters provided by our facility, you will safely practice drawing from concealment while assessing threats, making decisions, and responding appropriately.
No live ammunition will be used. No personal firearm is required.
What You’ll Learn: • Safe and efficient draw stroke mechanics • Presentation from concealment • Decision-making under stress • Threat assessment and appropriate response • Defensive shooting fundamentals
We welcome both newer concealed carriers and experienced shooters. Instruction and simulator scenarios are adapted to your skill level to ensure meaningful practice and measurable improvement.
Class time typically includes approximately one hour of guided instruction followed by one hour of immersive simulator practice (timing may vary based on class size).
This is a rare opportunity to develop and refine a critical defensive skill in a safe, controlled, and realistic environment.
Train deliberately. Build confidence. Strengthen readiness.

Join us for a unique opportunity to hear directly from an experienced USCCA Critical Response Attorney as he breaks down Ohio self-defense law in a practical, real-world context.
This is not a standard course. You will gain firsthand insight from former prosecutor Joshua Engel. Engel has represented parties in criminal and civil rights case in courts throughout the nation, including before the Supreme Court of Ohio, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, and seven different Federal Courts of Appeals. Engel has represented police officers and the Fraternal Order of Police in numerous matters and provides rapid response to police officers throughout Ohio in critical incidents. Engel is a cum laude graduate of Harvard University Law School.
Engel is part of USCCA’s Critical Response network of attorneys and brings decades of real-world experience to this event. He has worked through real cases and understands what actually happens before, during, and after a self-defense incident.
During this event, you will: • Learn the legal considerations surrounding both lethal and non-lethal self-defense • Hear real-world examples and experiences from actual incidents • Gain a clearer understanding of what to expect if you ever have to defend yourself
Whether you’re new to self-defense or looking to deepen your understanding, this is a valuable chance to learn how the law applies in real situations.
Most people carry pepper spray—but very few have ever practiced using it.
This course is designed to change that.
Led by a certified USCCA non-lethal instructor, this hands-on class teaches you how to safely carry, deploy, and control pepper spray with confidence if you ever need it. Whether you’re heading off to college, working with the public, or simply want to feel more prepared in everyday life, this training is built for you.
In this class, you will:
• Learn when and how pepper spray can be used responsibly • Understand how to carry it so it’s accessible when you need it • Practice proper deployment techniques using the ASP Defender2 system (with water-based training) • Build muscle memory through guided drills so your response becomes natural and controlled • Learn what to do immediately after deployment
This is not just a lecture—you will actively train in a safe, controlled environment until the skills feel comfortable and repeatable.
At the end of the class, each participant will receive a retail-packaged ASP Defender2 pepper spray to take with them—so you leave not only trained, but equipped and confident in your ability to use it if needed.
If you already carry pepper spray (or are considering it), this course will help you move from uncertainty to confidence.
