YOU are the primary agent of your own defense. But you're here because you know that already.
 
Welcome to a world of information that is designed to assist you in being your own defender. 
 
The ladies concealed carry course is designed by women, for women and it's taught by credentialed, experienced instructors who are women. We teach top notch curriculum that meets and exceeds the requirements to apply for the concealed carry permit PLUS, we cover female-specific aspects of carrying concealed; things you might not have thought of. 
 
License to carry?  So What?  You may get your license but that doesn't allow you to draw the gun.
It doesn't allow you to shoot the gun, and it doesn't allow you to kill someone. 
If trouble comes, that laminated card isn't going to become a magic wand and make you a sharpshooter or a lawyer.  
 
This class will give you an in-depth education and start you on your training path in order to keep you alive and out of legal trouble should a threat present itself.
 
Most people think a gun is the first line of defense. The law will tell you otherwise. 
 
A gun is the last resort, but you will leave here understanding when it is lawful to use it. And, how to use it safely to protect yourself and your family. 
 
This class will not only meet and exceed the requirements to apply for your concealed carry license, it will help you learn how to recognize behavioral signs early - and to gain the skills and techniques for self-preservation to help you move more confidently through your daily activities... and it will possibly save your life.
