"HOW Do I Get The FREE Gun and Other Gifts You Promised Me?"
After you sign up today, here’s exactly how it works:
First, your spot will be reserved in the 2-Day Patriot Pistol Class for this next date.
Second, because there is limited time before the course start date and because we must follow the Federal laws for handgun purchases to state residents and non-residents, here is how getting your free gun works:
Your FREE Glock 19 Gen 5 FS AmeriGlo Handgun and the Student Handbook along with your NexBelt Gun Belt, The Lexington Kydex Holster, and The Dual Magazine Pouches will be here waiting for you when you arrive to take your live course.
You can use all your gear and the gun during the entire course and then after your class, if you’re a non-resident of Alabama, we will help you make arrangements to have your new gun shipped to your local Federal Firearms License (FFL) dealer to transfer into your own name in your home state (this is your local gun shop). It’s very straight forward. (If you are a resident of Alabama, we can transfer your new handgun to you the same day and you can take it home with you.)
Finally, on the thank you page you get access to after ordering today, you’ll get access to all the rest of the gifts I’ve promised you:
* Gift #5: You’ll Be Qualified to Get your Virginia Concealed Carry Permit – a $99 Value!
* Gift #7: You Get My Amazon-Best Seller Concealed Carry 101 Book – a $19.95 Value!

For Gift #11: Where You Get The Protection of Your Instructor Being A Legal Witness If You Ever Have To Defend Yourself In Court – A $1,400 Value – You will receive this benefit immediately after you’ve completed your live training course.
That’s it!
It’s very simple and straightforward to get all your gifts and there are no catches or drawbacks.
"What is the 2-Day Patriot Pistol Class?
Simply put: This is a LIVE training class offered to civilians who want to be trained to the highest levels in defensive gun skills at my Patriot Training Center range in Talladega, AL.
This live training was designed specifically to teach you how to conceal carry and protect your family with a handgun. Even if you’ve never shot a gun before, by the end of this class you’ll be better trained than 99% of gun owners (including most law enforcement and military!)
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 60+ 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 just 10-15 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 handgun, plus 2 extra magazines and other accessories that you either conceal carry with or plan to conceal carry with. A complete list of class supplies will be provided when you sign up, but at a bare minimum you will need your concealed carry equipment and about 500 rounds of ammunition (you will probably shoot less than that, but if the class is progressing quicker because all students are doing well, you will shoot up to 500 rounds). With this offer, I’m literally giving you everything you need!
"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, in the past, we’ve taught this class with about 200 rounds of ammo per day, making this 2-days a 400 round minimum. Because you can buy ammo in bulk in 500 or 1,000 cases, we recommend buying and bringing 500. The easiest way to do this is to just order the ammunition online—you can buy 500 rounds at a discount—and have it shipped to Patriot Training Center with your name on it (my assistant Josh can help you with this after you sign up). Finally, if you can’t locate this much ammo, contact us and you can buy it through us and we’ll hold it here for your class with your name on it!
"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 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).
