"EDUCATING THE RESPONSIBLY ARMED CITIZEN"

As American citizens we have been blessed with a great number of rights and freedoms. With these rights and freedoms comes great responsibility. We must hold ourselves accountable for our actions. Freedom is not as simple as being able to just do what you want, but it also includes the responsibility to use that freedom in a way that is good or beneficial to oneself and to others. The state of our lives is nothing more than the state of our minds. Self-improvement affects not only you but others around you. When you improve you begin to relate to others differently, and others relate to you differently. The proverbial domino effect.

Our instructional periods are not "cookie cutter " courses. They are personal growth experiences. Not only do they provide comprehensive information, but they also provide an atmosphere that brings a community together through learning, pleasure and fellowship. Although intended for new and novice level firearm owners, we hope that intermediate and advanced level owners will benefit from our "responsible mindset" approach to personal protection and firearm ownership.

CITIZEN ORIENTED PROTECTIVE POSTURE.

Our C.O.P.P. Series is our proprietary combination of classes and methodology, designed to increase the citizen's ability to make assessments during critical incidents. How and when they should or should not go "hands-on" or employ their firearms, in conditions of increased physical, and mental stress. This series focuses not only on mechanics but also prudent, ethical and legal, "real-world' responses to "real world" stimuli. Students will learn to work independently and collectively on how achieve and maintain a better shielded environment.  

This series includes armed/unarmed personal preservation responses at home and in public, risk and threat assessment, de-escalation, evasion and escape, the three C's and much, much more.
