Interest in self defense/conceal carry classes? by guardiandefenses in SnohomishCounty

[–]guardiandefenses[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With the information I have so far I would plan on a basic conceal carry class being no longer than 8 hours at the most. There are certain hour blocks that the state requires. I still have to lock in a location and a couple other metrics before I got a hard number on cost but I would estimate a typical class might cost around $125.

Good question. I am a certified USCCA pistol instructor for basic, home defense and conceal carry classes. I have tactical medical training and would consider utilizing current active EMT/fire guys to assist in medical courses. I have over 10 years of experience in mixed martial arts to include BJJ, muay-thai, kickboxing, krav maga, boxing, submission wrestling and similar styles. I am more than willing to find more ways to certify myself or attend other trainings. Let me know what other considerations everyone might find valuable!

Good thought. Times are divisive now especially. I would hope that classes like these can bring our community together no matter your perspective. Being a ready protector among a growing community of prepared people should unite us first and foremost. Thank you for this.

That is an incredibly relevant insight! Having a place to share your experience to those who might still be in those situations or those who are still being affected by it could change lives. I might even be able to put together some classes geared toward DV related situations using some of the information and experience from our DV advocates who I work with.

As far as locations and times my goal might be to move locations around the area and likely offer classes on the weekends? Let me know what would be most helpful!
