So you've got your Tennessee Enhanced Carry Permit or Concealed Carry Permit. Excellent! Now what? Handgun permit training is a great start, but it's very basic, focusing mostly on relevant statutes and safe handgun operation. It wasn't created to teach you how to carry a handgun in public or use one to defend yourself from violent attack. Defending yourself with a handgun demands a level of skill. Developing the required skill takes more than one class, it is a process that involves time, instruction, and structured practice.

For those who want to gain confidence and competence with their handgun we have the “After the Permit” series of clinics, Safe Gun Handling & Marksmanship and Carrying & Drawing From a Holster clinics.Our Carrying & Drawing from a Holster Clinic is a three-hour course that continues where Safe Gun Handling & Marksmanship ends.

Topics include:

• A review of the rules of safe gun handling and how to apply them
• Proper defensive holster selection
• How to get a holster on your body comfortably
• The defensive drawstroke
• Review proper ready positions
• Safe holstering

Completion of our Carrying & Drawing from a Holster Clinic will prepare you for success in our Protective Pistol course, where we introduce students to the defensive handgun mindset, tactics, techniques, and procedures.
