  • NYS 18 Hour Concealed Carry – 2 Day Class

    Community course

    This class is conducted over 2 days, on February 11 and 12, from 8:00am to 5pm.

    This is the new 18 hour class, (Also called the 16+2 class or 18 hour class), that NY State now requires all NY State residents take to apply for a NY State Concealed Carry license. (once referred to as a pistol permit class or handgun safety class). Starting September 1st 2022, NY State has implemented the new CCIA law. (Concealed Carry Improvement Act) New applicants must take this class to apply for a NY State concealed carry license.
    Only residents of NYC, Suffolk, Westchester, and Nassau Counties – even if they already have a pistol license, must take this class to keep their NY State pistol license or to apply for the first time. All classes are taught by a Certified NRA Instructor. Students will receive the NRA Basic Pistol Course as part of this course. Discounted NRA memberships are also available upon request.
    The range portion of the class can be taught at an indoor range, on site, we will be setting up an indoor Ultimate Training Munitions (UTM) range. The UTM guns are real Glock 17 handguns that fire a 9mm marking round. These guns can be used for the live fire portion of the class and the huge benefit is that we do not need to utilize a gun range for class. These are a safe training option which NY State law allows to use during the class for the required live fire portion of the class.
    Our class will not only give students the required training certificate needed to apply to NY State for a concealed carry license, but will also include the required training certificates to apply to Florida, Arizona and Utah.
    No firearm required by attendees. Ammo and holster will be provided. Students should have a sturdy 2 inch leather belt. It is recommended that eye and ear protection is brought by each student, but can they be borrowed if needed with advanced notice from the training center for no extra cost.

  • Active Shooter Response Training

    Continuing Ed course

    There are a variety of descriptions for the upcoming Active Shooter Response Training including active aggressor response training, active shooter prevention training, or active shooter reaction training. Regardless of the description, the heightened need for training in advance of an active shooter incident remains the same.

    “The average duration of active shooter incidents begin and end in a matter of minutes,” according to a retired Navy Seal. “Having a proactive community that takes an active role in their own safety is key.”

    During the active shooter response presentation, participants will learn how to develop a survival mindset. The concept of “run, hide, fight” is examined and expanded upon with the caveat that there is no one-size-fits-all solution for every incident. Participants will gain a stronger understanding of the role of law enforcement during an active shooter event. Life-saving tips will be shared including barricading doors with heavy furniture, utilizing a belt to lock a door, and finding sharp objects to fight back if necessary. Training is a mixture of classroom-based teachings and audio-visual aids created by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

  • REFUSE TO BE A VICTIM

    Community course

    One of the most important steps toward ensuring your own safety is having a personal safety strategy in place before you need it. The NRA’s Refuse To Be A Victim® program teaches the tips and techniques you need to be alerted to dangerous situations and to avoid criminal confrontation.

    Seminars are held across the nation and are open to individuals of all ages. Today, thousands of federal, state and local law enforcement officials and civilians from across the nation utilize this popular program in their crime prevention and community policing initiatives to help protect their communities.

    Corporations, educational institutions, and community centers have also adopted the program. All told, more than 120,000 people have benefited from these seminars.

    Violent Crimes are UP!
    According to the FBI, in 2020, there were an estimated 538,203 violent crimes reported to law enforcement.

    Property Crimes are UP!
    The FBI reported an estimated 3,404,745 property crimes in 2020.

    Vehicle Theft is UP!
    Motor vehicle theft remains a major reported crime with 406,953 occurring in 2020.

    From Awareness to Avoidance
    The Refuse To Be A Victim® program is not a firearms or self-defense class. It is a seminar that will help you improve your personal safety strategies and will provide you with valuable information that you can apply in every area of your life.
