A Wisconsin Concealed Carry Permit is valid in 33 states due to reciprocity agreements. If you are looking for someone that will just hand you a certificate, that is not me. The Concealed Carry and Family Defense Academy finds it EXTREMELY important that you walk away from my class with the knowledge needed to protect yourself, your family and those around you. All you have to do is read the newspaper or watch the news and you will see you are as at risk in your home as you are on the street. I spend at least an hour on home/family protection plans. Even if you do not choose my training, please, oh please choose someone that will cover home protection - it is important - equally important in rural areas! Why 6 hours? We stress situational awareness, legal ramifications, home defense, altercation avoidance, and defensive shooting. To cover all the curriculum and so that the students are well versed in not only concealed carry, but the responsibilities that accompany the certification, it takes time. This is not a live fire class, however, we will be handling SIRT laser training pistols in all classes, to assure proper gun handling, grip and stance for defensive shooting. The price of this class is $70. A 245 page textbook, "Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals" by Michael Martin is optional, and can be purchased for $30 at the class. It is an amazing book, that you will find yourself referencing many times in the future. I feel so strongly that my students need to ALWAYS feel comfortable and in touch with their training, that once you attend one of my classes, you are welcome to come back for a refresher any time you please, at no cost to you. My philosophy is no person should be left behind in regards to their training - if you learn better one on one, let's do that - just contact me for a quote!

This is a comprehensive training program designed for individuals seeking to understand situational awareness, conflict avoidance, home security, and responsible firearm ownership and carrying for self-defense. It covers essential topics including handgun basics, shooting fundamentals, the psychology of violent encounters, legal aspects of using deadly force, and strategies for home protection and gear selection. Key elements covered in the course: Situational Awareness and Conflict Avoidance: Understanding your surroundings and how to de-escalate or avoid dangerous situations. Firearm Basics and Shooting Fundamentals: Proper handling and shooting techniques for handguns. Defensive Shooting Fundamentals: Principles of shooting in a self-defense scenario. The Psychology of Violent Encounters: Understanding the physiological and psychological impact of a violent encounter. Legal Aspects of Using Deadly Force: Knowledge of legal responsibilities and consequences related to using deadly force. Home Defense and Security: Strategies for protecting your home and family. Improvised weaponry.

Layered defense plans: The program focuses on building a "layered defense plan" for a house of worship. This involves creating multiple levels of security and preparedness, from the parking lot to the sanctuary, to stop an attacker before they can harm a large number of people. Security teams: The USCCA advocates for forming trained, volunteer security teams within congregations. These teams are taught how to assess threats, respond to an active shooter, and provide aid to the wounded after an attack. Threat recognition: Trainees learn to identify pre-threat indicators and understand the mindset and behavior of mass shooters. The curriculum reviews data from past mass shootings to provide practical lessons. Emergency operations planning: The program guides participants in creating a detailed emergency operations plan that includes communication strategies, designated safe rooms, and evacuation protocols. Armed defense: The USCCA teaches the "Run, Hide, Fight" methodology, with the "Fight" component often including armed engagement. This is reinforced by a belief that concealed carry holders can be a first line of defense in places where people might feel vulnerable. A recent incident in Wayne, Michigan, is highlighted as an example of trained church members successfully stopping an attack. Realistic scenarios: Training can include live exercises and scenario-based drills using non-lethal ammunition to prepare members for real-life pressure situations. Post-incident care: The curriculum covers basic first-aid techniques to treat traumatic injuries that may occur during an attack. Congregational education: A key part of the strategy is educating the entire congregation on safety protocols. This helps members understand what to do during an emergency and reassures them that preparedness is being prioritized
