What You'll Learn
This blended course pairs the proven USCCA Basic Handgun curriculum with focused training on red-dot and optic-equipped pistols. Students will learn foundational handgun safety, marksmanship, fundamentals of defensive shooting, legal/responsible carry practices, and hands-on skills for mounting, zeroing awareness, and using red-dot sights under realistic conditions. The course emphasizes safe, effective, and repeatable techniques designed to build confidence with both iron sights and modern optics.

What We'll Teach
Concealed Carry & Home Defense Fundamentals with Simulations
This real-world self-defense scenario training is designed to improve your mindset and skills, regardless of experience level or background, in a safe and controlled environment. You can practice making split-second decisions, which will help you to understand the legal use of force. This is one of the most practical and effective ways to recognize when — or if — the use of deadly force is justified. Test your knowledge and learn from realistic situations that you could encounter in your daily life. Simulation training scenarios activate students’ mental and physical responses to mimic real self-defense scenarios, giving you a deeper understanding of how you’ll react under pressure.
