The Perks...
We feel that many CCW License Classes in California are well-worth the money, but they don't have to break the bank. Just because the demand is high, especially in Orange County, doesn't mean instructors have to keep charging the outrageous rates to which they've been accustomed. We charge $175 per student for the California CCW Course. At the time of this writing, this is the lowest in all of Orange and Ventura Counties. And you WILL get the required material and instruction as required by the Orange and Ventura County Sheriffs. Instructors in the past have cut corners on training, violating a trust with the both the Sheriff and with you the student. As other counties begin to approve us to teach their CCW classes, we plan on offering the same exceptional and quality curriculum to all of Southern California.

We believe that the safest way to teach many of the practical skills learned in class, is through the use of inert training guns. These polymer guns are incapable of accepting ammunition, but they're the same size and feel of the real thing. Because we feel that learning firearm retention, drawing from the holster, moving and shooting, etc. is so crucial to the lesson plan, we use Blackhawk training guns and Blackhawk concealable holsters in class to practice these skills. This equipment is available for purchase at most classes.
A large part of defensive firearms training also involves recognizing, avoiding, and deterring deadly scenarios before they occur. We highly recommend carrying some form of less lethal defense along with your firearm. One such piece of effective equipment is a tactical pen. In our CCW classes, we spend some time covering open-handed defense techniques which may become crucial in close-combat scenarios. As part of this training, we include a free tactical pen for you to keep. Similar pens retail online at $40 or more.
Many training providers teach classes during daytime hours, but many students can't take time off of work without missing pay or using up vacation time. That's why most of our class times are scheduled on Saturday in one convenient all-day long session or in the evenings after regular office hours. Normally, each class will run for one all-day Saturday or on one weeknight from 6-10PM and then a partial day on Saturday. As our classes scale in size depending on how many people register, our classroom location may change. Currently, we use a location in Santa Ana and the range is nearby in Anaheim, but classes may also be held in other parts of Orange County as we juggle venue capacities and schedules. We want you to have a good experience and feel comfortable. Our classes are highly informative. Our practical applications are very interactive; you'll be up out of your seat much of the time. The classes are also quite entertaining, for the specific purpose of aiding memory retention.

Multi-State Permit Add-On
If that wasn't enough, we highly encourage you to carry and have access to your firearm wherever you are legally permitted within the United States. To help you achieve this, we're offering an "add-on" certification to apply for the Utah, Arizona, and Florida CCW permits for only $30. Multi-state permit classes are offered locally for between $100-125. Since the California CCW class already covers most of the essential curriculum, you'll have the option of coming in one hour early on Saturday morning's class and we'll finish up the requirements for the other states for a fraction of the cost you'd pay elsewhere. With the California CCW License combined with one or more of the other state permits, you'll have reciprocity to legally carry in up to 35 states. So why wait? Sign up now!
