The two reasons I took this class are:
1) A concealed carry permit is its own proof of character. To obtain a license in North Carolina, fingerprinting and background checks are required. These are routinely updated, so any unlawful conduct is flagged and the license can be rescinded. So every day, the license represents a fresh and up-to-date background check.
This is useful for a number of reasons, including interacting with law enforcement and purchasing new weapons. When engaging with law enforcement, such as during a traffic stop, providing a license to carry a firearm communicates to that officer that you are a responsible, law-abiding citizen.
2) Knowing you can defend yourself is incredibly empowering. Carrying a weapon and knowing how to use it safely gives you the confidence to face every day without fear of being a victim.
Best of all, you do not have to rely on others for your own protection. Police response time is not fast enough to prevent immediate danger, and a gun equalizes threats, whether you are five feet tall or a heavyweight wrestler, man or woman, old or young, disabled, outnumbered, or otherwise.
I highly recommend this class! At Home Front Freedom, they are extremely professional and knowledgeable staff and instructors. I brought my wife to this class and know this is the best training that she could have received (better than me instructing her). Proper knowledge of the use and safety of firearms should be number one priority if you plan on having a firearm at home for personal protection. I learned lots of things (I’ve been shooting in the Marine Corps for 20+ years). I’ll be sure to promote your class and services to all! The instructors at Home Front Freedom have a phenomenal ability to explain things in a variety of ways everyone understands. I’m greatly looking forward to taking more classes with you (very soon)!
I want to recommend this concealed weapons class to everyone. You will really enjoy the time spent and learn very valuable skills. The class was informative, well taught and ample time was given for hands on instruction. And WOW, they are even doing classes during the week to accommodate all people schedule.
