Defensive Carry 1.0

Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be eligible for the Florida Out of State Carry Permit. This firearms course provides the student with basic skills and the mindset required to confidently operate a handgun in a violent situation. Defensive Carry I is geared toward the student with some experience operating a handgun; both open and concealed carry from outside the waistband. The class starts with a lively classroom session followed by active drills on the range. We will shoot using proper shot placement on the threat, introduce fighting magazine reloads and tactical reloads. We will shoot multiple targets practicing muzzle discipline and trigger reset. We will also introduce movement while shooting. Topics: Use of Force, Grip, Stance, Draw, Reset and Shot Placement. 300 rounds required (Ammo is available at a discount to students. Please mention when registering)Tuition $210 - includes range fee. Call or email Jim to with questions 610-399-1188 YmVub2l0IHwgY2FqdW5hcm1zICEgY29t

Home-built Gun Policy

We do not allow the use of 80% home-built firearms in our classes such as “Polymer 80” pistols and “80” lower” rifles or pistols. A general rule of thumb: if it does not have a serial number, do not bring it.

These guns have proven to be unreliable in class.

If you bring one to class and do not have a backup, or there is not a rental gun available, you will need to leave the class. No refund is given. Thank you for your cooperation.
