Why is getting your Concealed Weapons Permit training from an NRA Instructor, better than a Gun Show?

We get that question a lot. The most important reason is we give you an NRA Certificate which is Nationally recognized, not one that is only good in a particular state. Say you move to another state and you want to get a CCW Permit in that state. If you didn't get your instruction from a NRA Instructor, you would have to take another training course in that state or take classes from another instructor, which will cost you more money. NRA Certification is accepted as proof of training in all 50 of the United State, so all you need to do is take one course and pay only one time. Make sure your CCW Permit Instructor is NRA Certified and teaching an NRA Course. If not, you're wasting your money.

Our classes are smaller which gives us more time to work one on one with you to make sure you understand your gun and how to handle it safely.  We teach a longer, more in-depth, course which gives you more knowledge and gives us the time to address your questions personally.

NRA “Refuse To Be A Victim”  Seminar

Improve your personal safety strategies with NRA's Refuse To Be A Victim® Program. Experts agree that the single most important step toward ensuring your personal safety is making the decision to refuse to be a victim. That means that you must have an overall personal safety strategy in place before you need it.  Hundreds of federal, state, and local law enforcement officials across the country have implemented Refuse To Be A Victim® into their crime prevention and community policing initiatives.

Through a three to four hour seminar (shorter presentations are available) called Refuse To Be A Victim®, you can learn the personal safety tips and techniques you need to avoid dangerous situations and avoid becoming a victim. Personal safety is not always convenient. You must consciously integrate the options you choose into your everyday life until good habits are formed. Remember, criminals prefer easy targets.  The more difficult a target you present, the less likely you are to become a victim. 

Topics presented in the seminar are Home Security, Personal Security, Automobile Security, Workplace Security, Technology Security, Safety for parents and children, Safety for Senior Citizens and those with disabilities.

Remember, you can choose to “Refuse To Be A Victim.” Group seminars available for businesses, associations, schools, etc.
