Do you offer classes in order to get my Concealed Carry Permit?
Yes! We offer courses for firearms owners that provide the necessary training and strategies to receive their concealed carry permit. Students will learn basic firearms safety and general laws for concealed carry in the state of Florida. Topics discussed may include, but are not limited to, permissable and non-permissable locations you can carry concealed, states that have reciprocity with Florida, “Stand Your Ground” law, and “Castle Doctrine”.
How come some of your trainings aren’t at gun ranges?
For some of our courses, we utilize non-lethal ammunition (NLA) that is generally safe for indoor use with minimal backstop issues. In addition, it replicates the entire feel of firing live ammunition (accuracy, cycles the weapon, gives kickback where appropriate, etc.). Even though the ammunition is less lethal than the real thing, we still follow all the safe range rules complete with assigned “range” officers in the training areas to enforce safety and a multi step system to ensure no live ammunition is brought into the training areas.
I’m new to owning a gun, can I participate in these classes?
Yes. We offer beginner level training for people that have an interest in personal defense and don’t have a lot of experience shooting. We are teaching experts, not just self defense experts, so everything is taught in a really easy to earn step-by-step manner. For many, the first step is to obtain your concealed carry permit. If you haven’t yet taken the class required to apply for one, check out our class schedule to sign up for one.
Do you offer bookings for events or groups?
Yes. We offer any of our courses for private groups. If you’re interested in booking one of our courses for your group. Get in touch with us and we’ll see what we can hook up for you.
Testimonials
This class was so great for both the beginner and for the advanced. As a retired law enforcement officer and have completed courses from qualification to SWAT to active shooter and have found this course can be set to any of those scenarios. Indoors or outdoors, daylight and darkness. Another item impressed me was this course can come to you, eliminating the need to drive across town.

I found both the classroom portion and hands on portion of the class very informative. As a relatively new CCW carrier, the discussions on types of holsters and dealing with day-to-day issues were great. The hands on portion was both fun and good training for real life situations. The instructors are both top notch, offering real life experiences they have been through.

I would like to thank you for the Firearm Defense class that was conducted by Counter Assault Training Systems. My individual skills were evaluated and the only ``competition`` was that with myself, not with the other attendees of the class. I quickly realized that, I have not practiced enough. I also realized, through corrective instruction that my technique can be improved. I am recommending the class to all my friends. My family will be attending future classes. Awesome class
