If you’re like most, you will do anything to protect your family from the pitfalls of life.
Everybody knows that crime is on the rise in southern Colorado, and if you’re going to do something about it, you will have to do it for yourself.
We are all having to deal with the social issues of the day. All around our families and ourselves there are more and more dangers that lurk in the places we must go daily.
Many of us feel that our security has been diminished by laws and regulations. It seems that the law-abiding citizens don’t stand a chance. Let’s change that.
Learn how easy it is to understand what you can and cannot do to protect yourself and your family in and out of your home.
Situational awareness, identifying a threat, threat de-escalation and more. Learn to keep you and your loved ones safe.
Colorado is an open-carry state, meaning that most adults are allowed to openly carry a firearm without a permit.
However, there are many exceptions and restrictions to be aware of. Let us educate you so you don’t break the law.
Whether you’re new to firearms or looking to refresh your knowledge, we will help you build the skills and awareness needed to use your handgun safely and responsibly.
Discreetly carry your firearm for personal protection. Concealed carry helps avoid drawing attention, which can prevent panic or undue concern from others, particularly in public settings.
Enhance your skills and become a better, more confident gun handler. Gain the practical knowledge and confidence needed to handle your firearm safely and effectively.

Colorado Concealed Handgun Permit Class Level I
Our Level I Class meets all the requirements for a Concealed Handgun Permit in Colorado.
This is a fun class and everyone from the beginner to the advanced shooter will enjoy the format of this class.
We teach you the easy way to apply for your permit.
The Colorado Concealed Handgun Permit Class Level I is a four-hour comprehensive class on handgun safety, handgun actions, ammunition, and Colorado Concealed Handgun Permit Laws. The class is designed for all levels of shooters for their concealed carry permit training. Our class includes a discussion on the laws for concealed carry and the use of deadly force.
Colorado concealed carry permit class stresses the responsibilities of the concealed carry permit holder, safe pistol techniques, and different methods of carrying. Completion of this class will give the student a completion certificate necessary when applying for a Colorado Concealed Carry Permit.
You will know the safe handling, loading, and unloading of revolvers and semi-automatic pistols before class is finished. Unlike the Big Box Stores and Hotel classes, you will handle real guns in this class.
You do not need to buy a gun for class, you will be taught how to pick a gun. Colorado Law does not require live-fire shooting for a permit, but we think it is important. This class also includes one hour of live fire training with an Instructor that is a Double Distinguished Expert in Semi-Auto Pistol and Defensive Pistol 1 with the NRA at no additional charge, many times scheduled on a different day.
Many people like to practice the skills they have learned in class, or purchase a handgun before the live fire session. This is a fun way to learn an important skill, the format and content of this class make it like no other offered in this area.
Learn the real facts about carrying a gun in Colorado. Many of the pieces of information you get on carrying a gun are not accurate. Police Officers and Lawyers are some of the places bad information comes from. Your buddy who took a class 10 years ago does not know the answers. Your neighbor who was in the military does not have the proper information. I am teaching information in my classes that 75% of the people who are carrying a gun for self-protection in Colorado do not know.
Most firearms accidents happen in administrative handling the firearm. Loading, Unloading, Cleaning, Transporting, Drawing FROM A HOLSTER. You must learn the proper way to do these procedures or bad things can happen to you and those around you.
