Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a CCW course and a self-defense course?

A CCW course focuses on legal requirements to carry. A self-defense course goes deeper — threat recognition, decision-making under stress, and scenario-based defensive shooting.

Do I need prior experience for a self-defense class?

Most self-defense courses accept all skill levels, but some advanced courses require demonstrated basic firearm handling. Check the class description or ask your instructor.

What will I learn in a defensive shooting class?

Typically: draw from holster, shooting from cover, low-light scenarios, malfunction clearing, and legal use of force principles specific to your state.
