This course is designed to meet the certification requirements to obtain concealed carry permits from Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Florida. This reciprocity combination will allow you to carry a concealed weapon in 37 States.
After the classroom portion, students will move to the range to complete a comprehensive live-fire demonstration. If you do not have prior firearms experience, please be assured this is no cause for concern. Our courses are specifically designed to create a positive learning environment for students new to the world of firearms. The practical exercise is not graded by accuracy and is only designed to emphasize the safe handling and operation of firearms.
You are encouraged to bring your own handgun and ammunition to this class. The handgun MUST be unloaded and cased, and remain in your vehicle until the instructor asks you to retrieve it.
Limited rental firearms including ammunition are available. If you are in need of a rental, please contact us via email ahead of the class date to ensure those arrangements can be made. Eye and ear protection will also be available for purchase if needed.

According the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics, 23 real estate-related professionals died from violence on the job in 2022. A 2022 safety survey conducted by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) revealed that 2 percent of residential real estate agents were victims of a crime while on the job, meaning 30,000 of the 1.5 million agents reported they were victims of a robbery, physical attack or sexual assault. The survey also found that 23 percent of respondents reported feeling concerned for their safety.
These facts are a sobering reminder of the potential dangers that real estate agents face during the course of their work duties. This course offers not only an in-depth look at risk factors, but also a detailed approach to risk mitigation, legal use of force, safety considerations and discussions on self-defense options.
Developing a personal & home protection plan is a key component of not only preparing for how we should (or might) react if confronted by a violent crime, but also how we might avoid violent crime in the first place. Within this lesson, we discuss that developing a protection plan is about much more than becoming proficient with a firearm or writing up a home invasion plan. It’s a plan that must encompass awareness, avoidance, and preparation, so that we’re less likely to find ourselves in a situation where we have no other option than to use our firearm, rather than more likely.
