In this course students will expand on the skills developed in the AR-15 Fundamentals course. Students will experience a series of cognitive drills where they will engage multiple targets while transitioning between the AR-15 and handgun.

You have your concealed carry permit... But are you physically and mentally prepared to use it if your life depended on it? Have you practiced drawing your firearm from concealment in a variety of conditions? The truth is that all of us would benefit from more practice but the hard reality is that many people don't practice this at all. Simply carrying a concealed firearm everyday does not make you more prepared than an unarmed person. You MUST train frequently and maintain proficiency with your EDC equipment... This course will bridge the gap between simply having a card in your wallet that says you can carry a concealed firearm and actually being effective with it if your life ever depends on it.

In this course, students will be learn the proper techniques on how to safely & effectively draw a firearm from concealment and stop a threat with defensive accuracy. Students are encouraged to bring their personal firearm, holsters, and EDC gear to class. This is the time and place to find out what firearm/EDC gear does or doesn't work for you... Not during a real life self defense incident. If you are undecided on what firearm is a good choice for you or if you are considering changing to a different firearm, students will have the opportunity to try some of the most popular concealed carry pistols on the market as well as a variety of holsters and off body carry options so you can make an educated decision on what will work best for you.
