Pistolcraft: Active Shooter (3 days)

Starting in 2023, This three-day course will prepare the concealed carrier, law enforcement professional, and military member for active shooter situations.  The only pre-requisite for this course is an ego-free attitude.

We recommend that you take this class with everyday carry in mind.  This means a concealable holster (appendix or hip) if concealed carry is your primary role or open carry on duty belt/holster if LE or military.
