Basic Self Defense Class 

This is the class you need if you want to apply for a concealed weapons permit. This is also the best class for the beginner with handguns, even if you are not interested in getting a permit. If you are really new to this, we make sure you get the attention you need to make you comfortable and confident.

Ladies, there are always other ladies in the class. We go out of our way to make sure you are comfortable in our classes. We can also do a special ladies only class for you and your friends. Contact us for details.

This is an 8 hour class, with about 6 hours of classroom followed by another 2 hours of shooting exercises. 

Now offered in 2 segments, the A and B class. Register for and take the A class whenever you like. You will pay for the full class then. Then return for the B class for the rest of the information you need, again whenever you like. Then choose a day to qualify at the range and you will be finished. You can do it all in a week or over months as you choose.
