  • Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals is a comprehensive course for anyone considering owning or carrying a firearm for self-defense. The course is a complete guide to understanding conflict-avoidance and situational awareness; home security and home defense; handgun, shotgun and AR-15 basics; shooting fundamentals; the physiology of violent encounters; the legal aspects of using deadly force (including knowing what to do in the aftermath); and a complete guide on gear, gadgets, and ongoing training.

Defensive Carry Fundamentals

Prepare. Protect. Prevail.

When it comes to personal safety, knowledge is power—and training is confidence. Whether you’re a first-time gun owner or someone considering carrying a firearm for personal defense, Defensive Carry Fundamentals is the essential starting point.

This course, part of our comprehensive firearms education program at
Security Training Classes,
equips responsible citizens with the mindset, skills, and knowledge necessary to safely and legally carry a concealed weapon and protect their homes and families.

What You’ll Learn

1. Conflict Avoidance & Situational Awareness

Before reaching for a firearm, smart defenders know the best fight is the one that never happens. Our course begins with a deep dive into
conflict avoidance, de-escalation techniques, and situational awareness—skills that can often stop a threat before it starts. Learn how to stay alert in daily life, read environments quickly, and avoid becoming a target.

2. Home Security & Defense Strategies

Your home should be your sanctuary. We’ll walk you through
home security best practices, including layering defenses, setting up safe rooms, and planning for emergencies. Learn how to design a defense plan that suits your home’s layout and your family’s needs.

3. Handgun, Shotgun & AR-15 Basics

From pistols to pump-action shotguns and AR-style rifles, this course provides a
solid introduction to defensive firearms. We’ll cover platform fundamentals, how they operate, their strengths and limitations, and how to choose the right one for your needs.

4. Shooting Fundamentals

Defensive shooting is very different from marksmanship at the range. You’ll learn the
core skills for self-defense shooting, including proper grip, stance, sight alignment, trigger control, and follow-through. We also teach
point shooting and shooting under stress—critical techniques for real-life encounters.

5. Understanding the Physiology of Violent Encounters

When danger strikes, your body reacts. In this module, we examine the
adrenaline response, tunnel vision, auditory exclusion, and other physiological effects of stress. Understanding what happens to your body and mind during a high-threat situation will better prepare you to remain
