Description

Are you considering obtaining a concealed carry permit for personal defense?? Maybe you’re a permit holder looking for a refresher course or, like many other Americans, you want to learn more about firearms before buying one to protect yourself or your loved ones?? Perhaps you want to learn how to safely handle, store, and use a firearm “just in case”… Well, this is the class for you!! The Ultimate CCW Course is based on the USCCA’s Concealed Carry & Home Defense Fundamentals course, and it has a lot to offer new and experienced gun owners alike. This class will provide you with a deeper level of understanding when it comes to being your family’s first line of defense.

This course will help you in four ways:

Understand: If you choose to own or carry a firearm, you drastically increase your level of responsibility. This course will equip you with the knowledge and understanding that you need in order to carry confidently and safely.

Plan: How would you react in a self-defense situation? Are you aware of your body’s natural physical and psychological responses? Planning for these realistic situations will give you the upper hand when the potential for a violent attack becomes real.

Avoid: It is important to understand the legal consequences of using your firearm. You will learn how to properly de-escalate a situation, and what to do in the aftermath when the use of deadly force is the only option to keep you and your loved ones safe.

Build a Home Protection Plan: For many, the home is mistakenly considered an impenetrable fortress where guards can be let down and an awareness of your surroundings is no longer necessary, but that is simply not the case. This class teaches you the importance of situational awareness through the color codes of awareness, how conflict avoidance benefits you at home, and how vital it is to be proactive versus the risks of living reactively.
