TRAININGS FOR
PRE-FORMED GROUPS
Although we do schedule some courses for open enrollment on future dates, our focus has shifted to custom scheduling with pre-formed groups. In light of the atrocious, random violence that has been occurring with increasing frequency in recent years, many churches, clubs, businesses, groups of teachers, and just groups of friends have been organizing to react to sudden violence visited upon them without warning.
Reaction by a group of untrained individuals is no more effective than reaction by an untrained individual; maybe worse. We evaluate the goals and objectives of these groups, confer with them about the kind and scope of training they need, and then arrange to conduct courses on their schedule. If we do not have people on staff who can provide the kind of training they want and need, it is very likely we know who can. Contact us to discuss group training.
If you are a lone individual, or part of a group of only 2 or 3, and would like to be added in to a course set up for a larger group, contact us by email. Tell us what kind of course you are looking for (basic pistol, carbine, advanced pistol, personal tactics, etc.), and we will contact you when such a course is scheduled.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
We teach ordinary people how to use available tools to take control of frightening situations.
