About this event
We live in a wonderful country, a country that gives us opportunities like no other in the world. We have freedoms, rights, privileges and other things that other countries do not have. Sometimes we forget that we also have bad in our country and the world isn’t perfect. However it is not the majority of people but it is enough that we as citizens should take steps to protect ourselves and our loved ones at all times. Luckily we live in a country that allows us to do that.
The PDS Concealed Carry Class is an outstanding step to take in the right direction. Unfortunately our police officers can’t be everywhere at all times to protect us no matter how much they want to be so becoming a responsibly armed citizen is in our opinion a good course of action.
Our concealed carry course is designed to achieve multiple goals and teach multiple things:
1. Teach proper firearms safety methods for both home and concealed carry purposes
2. Teach how different handguns function (both semi auto & revolver) each student will have the opportunity to practice loading and unloading these firearms in class using dummy ammunition.
3. Teach proper shooting technique to increase our students accuracy and overall shooting ability
a) Sight Picture / Sight Alignment
b) Trigger Control
c) Breath Control
d) Grip
e) Stance (to enhance your recoil control and accuracy by creating stability)
4. Teach firearms maintenance and the importance of keeping your firearm clean.
5. Provide the minimum training required by Ohio law to obtain a concealed handgun license (CHL).
6. This course will exceed the minimum requirements and encourage students to later take more advanced continued education courses on concealed carry and self-defense topics.
7. Help students learn more about different aspects to safely carry a handgun on a daily basis
a) Holster Options
b) Storage In Your Car
c) Interaction with Law Enforcement When Carrying A Firearm
d) Concealment Techniques
8. What to do if you are involved in a shooting
a) Legal Issues / Considerations
b) About how Firearms Legal Protection Can Help Protect You Legally & Financially
c) What happens during and after a defensive encounter
d) How To Recognize When To Use Your Firearm & When Not To
We teach techniques on avoiding a potentially dangerous situation and de-escalation of a situation if it cannot be avoided. We will briefly discuss weapons retention as it is an important aspect of carrying a gun for self-defense.
We always encourage our students to have other tactics in place to deal with a situation and not go directly to the firearm for several reasons:
1. Can you clearly defend why you used your firearm in court if you would have to?
2. Are your surroundings such that innocent bystanders would not be hit by a stray bullet?
3. Does the situation warrant deadly force?
4. If you have to draw your weapon do you know if the attacker has a friend behind you or not?
The course will exceed the 8 hour minimum training time required by Ohio but is one of the most comprehensive concealed courses you can take. Many people take carrying a gun to lightly they believe since it is their right the training requirement should not exist or if they are ok with the training they believe if they have a gun that’s all there is to it and it is all they need. NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING!! Especially in self-defense knowledge and proficiency is the key to survival and training is the key to get to that point. There is a reason why police officers and military units train, because knowledge is power. Concealed Carry IS NOT ABOUT SHOOTING! It is about personal protection and that carries a great responsibility.
Each student will receive:
• An electronic copy of the Ohio Concealed Carry laws handbook from the Attorney General’s office. (This is on our website)
• A detailed student handbook
• You will receive a packet of information that will be beneficial during and after the class that includes places to buy firearms and equipment, how to apply for your CHL, reciprocity information and more.
• Upon successful completion of this course you will receive a certificate stating that you successfully completed the course that you will take to the sheriff’s office with your application.
Each person will need to bring the following to class:
• A 3 ring binder or notebook to take notes
• A semi-automatic pistol or revolver
• 100 rounds of ammo minimum (NO LIVE AMMO in the class room is permitted)
• Drinks & Snacks
Calibers we suggest for this class:
• .22LR (if it is all you have) • 9mm
• .38 Special
• .40S&W
• .45ACP
We prefer centerfire ammo for this course because most people do not use .22LR for self-defense so we encourage people to practice with something that has a little more recoil so they can learn to work with the recoil and not against it.
We are often asked about being able to take the class if you have not purchased a firearm yet. That is perfectly fine in fact if you are not sure what you might like DON"T purchase a firearm. Use some of ours in class and get a feel for different types, we personally recommend these brands HK, Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson, Glock & Walther. All we ask is that you cover the cost of the ammo.
We have the following available for your to try:
• Walther PPQ (.22LR) (Same size as their centerfire PPQ models)
• Smith & Wesson SW22 Victory w/ a Holosun 507c Red Dot Sight
• Sig Sauer P320 Compact (9mm) w/ a Holosun 507c Red Dot Sight
• Glock G45 (9mm)
• Glock G45 (9mm) w/ Holosun 507c Red Dot Sight
• HK VP9 • HK VP9 w/ a Holosun 507c Red Dot Sight
• HK P30 Lite LEM (Double Action Only) (9mm)
• Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 Compact (9mm)
• Walther PDP (9mm) w/ Holosun 507c Red Dot Sight
• Smith & Wesson Model 60 (.357 Magnum) (We would use .38 Special in class)
