So you got your concealed carry license, now what?

One of the most important skills that a CCL holder can spend their time and effort on is learning how to efficiently draw a firearm from a holster. 

This series of classes will help students prepare for the real world of carrying a firearm. We will discuss how to set up your concealed carry equipment and make recommendations based on first hand experience. Drawing from the holster skills are broken down into easy to understand steps that build from class levels 1-3.
