OVID-19 Update: I hope that you and your family have been able to stay well during these times. With the Government’s recommendation of social distancing, I’ve been working hard on a plan that will both meet the requirements and hopefully provide a more convenient training session for you. For the foreseeable future, I will be offering our concealed handgun permit certification course as a hybrid virtual learning course. We will conduct the classroom sessions through two-way video conferencing, then you can schedule the range time with a couple available options. The range qualifications will be conducted with fewer students to help maintain social distancing requirements and recommendations.

We do cover shooting fundamentals in this course, but it is mandatory that you have some prior knowledge and shooting experience before signing up for our ICC course. This course is not a learn how to shoot course, it's more of a learn how not to shoot course. Louisiana does have a shooting qualification requirement, and it's this that mostly makes up the time at the range.  Our Intro to Defensive Handguns course is a much better option for learning how to use firearms defensively as a new student. We also offer private training sessions that better prepare students for concealed carry. Please contact us if you’re interested in signing up for this course and a private training session at a discounted rate. 

Topics Include:

  • Safety
  • Defensive handgun types, nomenclature
  • Defensive firearms ammunition
  • Holsters and holster presentation
  • Awareness
  • Avoidance
  • De-Escalation
  • Should vs. Could
  • Louisiana’s laws on using force
  • Regulations surrounding the permit
  • Alternative force options
  • Storage and access prevention
  • Defensive shooting fundamentals
  • The importance of firearm cleaning
  • Concealed carry considerations
  • The aftermath of using a firearm in self-defense
