Being Prepared Means Being Informed

We are not an online certificate mill. We owe a duty to make sure our students are fully informed about the laws surrounding the lawful carry of firearms, use of force laws (including case law), and ensure you are prepared for the physical, emotional, and legal consequences of armed encounters.

Our course covers the basics of handgun use and operations as well as defensive tactics. Our classes use interactive and multi-media materials for dynamic learning. Excellent for beginners and experts alike. 

Lead instructor Rob Doar is renown all over country as an expert in self-defense laws and the legal challenges facing gun ownership. Rob has worked with law enforcement and legal professionals to develop the best permit to carry class in Minnesota

Unlike many other courses that simply focus on turning over as many students as possible, we take our responsibility to prepare our students for every aspect of gun ownership and self-defense including selecting the right firearm, safe storage, legal use of force, and most importantly, how to handle the aftermath of a self-defense encounter.

What Our Students Have to Say

This course really opened my eyes to how much more there is to self-defense than just carrying a weapon. Rob was super informed and made the information easy to understand.

This was my 3rd renewal of my Minnesota permit to carry permit, and was the best class I've had. Knowing how to shoot is easy, knowing how to keep your butt out of jail is hard, but this class makes it easy.

I thought this class would be just about how to shoot and carry and learned so much more. This class covers all of the legal issues around carrying, and I found the information about how to handle the aftermath of self-defense situations the most valuable.

The best Minnesota concealed carry class bar none. I've been through other online classes and just clicked the boxes and learned nothing. This class gives you so much information, but what's the best is the instructors are there after class for any questions or support you need!
