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.

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.
