"What is the 2-Day Active Shooter Reponse Class?
Simply put: This is a 2-day, LIVE, hands-on training event where you will discover exactly what you need to know to best prepare yourself to respond to the threat of an active shooter, with an in-depth classroom knowledge transfer and live-fire training on the range with reality based training scenarios. It takes place at my Patriot Training Center range in Talladega, AL.
This is exactly what you need if you conceal carry and go anywhere in public where active shootings happen.
This is not a book, DVD, video, or other online course. This is not a sit and listen lecture.
This is a 2-day LIVE training class where you get to learn from one of the best instructors I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.
"WHEN and WHERE is the Class? What are the dates?"
The next class is being held during the dates above in Eastaboga, AL at my private training facility, The Patriot Training Center.
All the exact details as to where the range is located, hotel recommendations, and other details will be sent to you after you sign up.
"What if I’m not in good shape or I’m old or have XYZ health problem"
Our instructor has taught hundreds of students from ages as young as 21 to as old as 80+ years of age. There is probably a way you can take this class if YOU truly want to.
That said, please watch the videos on this page to see the type of shooting and moving that you will be doing. You do NOT have to move as fast or as “dynamically” as the people in these videos, but you do need to be able to move.
On a personal note, if the type of movements in the video look like something you can not do… then you need to seriously considering improving your health and losing weight because if you ever have to defend yourself in REAL LIFE, criminals will NOT take it easy on you just because you’re old and out of shape.
In other words, you should strive not to be in as good as shape as you were when you were younger. Nor should you try to be the “the fittest man or woman in the world” but the “fittest YOU that you can be”. Nothing else will improve your survivability as being in the best shape you can physically be. Period.
"How do I fly with my handgun?"
It’s actually pretty simple. And as a bonus, you are less likely to lose your baggage because if the airline loses your bag with a firearm in it—they have to report to the Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) about how they made such a huge mistake! The TSA guidelines can be found here. However, you should not only follow those guidelines, but also check with your individual airline as well because they all may have different rules/regulations.
"What if I don’t have a concealed carry permit?"
Perfect! This class will qualify you for the Virginia resident or non-resident concealed handgun permit which will allow you to carry in up to 28 states. If you don’t live in Virginia, you should check with your state regulations, but it may also help you get a permit in your home state.
At the very least, if a VA CCW permit will not allow you to carry in your home state, then this is good training that will help you pass whatever concealed carry course you have to take in your own state as well.
"How many people can attend?"
This class is strictly limited in size to less than 20 people because we want to keep the instructor-to-student ratio small, so that there can be personal attention for anyone that needs it. That said, we only have a few seats left at the time of this writing.
"When is the next class?"
For 2024, we have classes pretty much every month. But this is one of the few times we’ve offered such an extreme amount of gifts and bonuses to fill the last seats of this upcoming class. If you’re at all interested you should sign up now, because there are no guarantees we will offer this class at such an extreme discount again.
"What equipment will I need?"
You will need your concealed-carry handgun, plus at least one extra magazines and other accessories that you either conceal carry with or plan to conceal carry with. A complete list of additional recommended class supplies will be provided when you sign up, but at a bare minimum you will need your concealed carry equipment and 400 rounds of ammunition will be plenty. Remember, with this offer, I’m literally giving you my personal ammo to use for the class!!
"Hi Caleb. I am very interested in this program. Can you tell me what additional expenses might be, such as ammunition, etc?"
After you sign up, you will get an email explaining exactly what you need to bring to the training course.
To answer your question about ammo specifically, The estimated round count for this particular class is 300-400 rounds. That’s way more shooting than most people do in a normal range practice session, but it’s a lot less than other training courses where they simply have you blasting away at a target a few yards away on the line all weekend. This class is different because while you’ll get plenty of trigger time, because of the real-life scenario based training – you’ll be practicing making decisions about when NOT to shoot just as much as you’ll be shooting. The bottom line is that when you sign up today, because I want to give you the best deal possible, I’ll let you shoot MY 9mm ammo for the entire course, PLUS, I’ll provide ammo for your friend too! If you shoot a pistol that is not 9mm, simply let us know before the course, so that we can have the caliber you need ready for you when you get here!
"What if I’m not a good shot? Or I’m new to firearms? I don’t want to embarrass myself ... should I be better or practice before I come?"
Don’t worry! Our master instructor has taught all types of people with all kinds of experience to include special operations level to people who have never even fired a gun before.
All that matters is that you follow the safety rules you’ll learn and he’ll take care of the rest. Do NOT worry about “looking good” or “shooting poorly” during the class.
This is not a contest to see how good you shoot—this is about helping you learn more skills so that you can better protect yourself and your loved ones.
"Can My Child Attend? What are the AGE Requirements?"
We 100% encourage and absolutely would love to train your whole family, including your children! You can certainly bring your child as your BOGO guest.
You would buy a seat like any other student and the minimum age is 11 if taking the course with a parent or guardian. The parent or guardian MUST be the one working with the child during the entire course, and be responsible for only ONE child. In other words, you are responsible for your child and you understand that if something is unsafe we may have to address that and/or remove them from the line. Children age 10 and under are not allowed. Unattended minors are NOT allowed on the property. They must be escorted by a parent or guardian at all times or be enrolled in an appropriate course.
Please do bring your family and get your children training as soon as you, as their parent, believe they are responsible enough to take the training. (If you have any questions about any of this, simply contact us by phone or email with any questions).
