Get your friends or family a gift that they can use every day, an in-depth understanding of self-defense from a different perspective, where awareness and avoidance are the key principles.

While skill at combatives and weapons are undeniably valuable, true self-defense is keeping trouble from noticing you or wanting to bother you.

However, should the situation escalate beyond that, our course is one of the best courses available in the region. We teach 4 combat-proven styles of shooting, primarily in low light and darkness because bulls eyes don’t shoot back.

This certificate is good for one (1) attendance in our “Basic Personal Protection / Carry Permit Course” or $130 off any of our other courses.

Pistolcraft’s Multi-State Permit Course includes the following:

Basic Personal Protection includes; safety, personal security, awareness, assault recognition, the psychology and physiology of fright & their effects on performance, a solid understanding of the law on the use of self defense, conflict avoidance, travel, Law Enforcement encounters, and much more.

Basic Handgun Self-Defense includes several combat proven methods of handgun self defense, comprehensive instruction on the legal use of deadly force, carry issues, traveling with firearms, and much more. With the police miss rate over 80%, we have found traditional shooting methods unacceptable for self defense. Most shooting is in low-light and Darkness, as are the vast majority of self-defense shootings. We train you for the realities of self defense, not just a permit.

You will need a notebook, a handgun you are familiar with, and 100 rounds of ammunition. This Course is 8 hours in length. Course Fee is $130 + Range fees ( This course combines our BPP and HSD modules valued at $165 – a $35 savings!)
