Approved by the Maine State Police for your Maine Concealed Weapons Permit Violence doesn’t announce itself. It doesn’t wait for police. It doesn’t care that you’re a “good person” who was just running errands, leaving church, or walking to your car. This course is designed for people who understand that carrying a concealed handgun is a serious responsibility—and that surviving a real-world encounter requires far more than punching holes in paper. This is not a basic marksmanship or permit-only class. This is a realistic defensive training program built around how violent encounters actually unfold: close, fast, chaotic, and unforgiving. You will learn how to deploy your concealed handgun under stress, from realistic concealment, against real-world threats—while managing risk to innocent people around you. If you carry a firearm to protect your life or your family, this is the level of training you need. What This Class Delivers How to think, move, and fight with a concealed handgun under stress How to draw and engage from concealment when time and distance are working against you How to make accurate hits in close, confined, and crowded environments How to manage malfunctions, reloads, and retention when the fight goes hands-on This course builds the mindset, mechanics, and decision-making required to survive violent encounters—not just qualify for a permit.
