Defensive Handgun - September 19, 2026 - with Adam Bryant

This is an open enrollment class for armed citizens, *law enforcement, and military personnel.

Defensive Handgun introduces students to shooting techniques necessary to winning a violent encounter with a deep emphasis on an efficient draw stroke from concealment. We will discuss and explore the advantages and disadvantages of various concealment positions, integrate a balanced approach and extensive progression of shooting capabilities, and incorporate a process driven methodology to increase effective anatomical hits on target. Pistol mounted red dot sights are encouraged and preferred for this class.

Prerequisites: MS Enhanced Firearm Permit (or state equivalent). Training beyond CCW requirements preferred, but not required.

*LEO: This course is approved for 8 Continuing Education Units by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety Office of Standards and Training.

For this class, you will need the following:
