The instruction is focused on helping you make the transition from being just a gun owner to someone who has the skills and confidence to defend what is most important in your life. \nGear Requirements  \n\nA pistol (.380 ACP or larger caliber)\nAt least two magazines for your pistol\n200 rounds of FMJ practice ammo\nAn Outside the Waistband (OWB) holster. If you do not have one\, this holster fits most compact semi-automatic pistols and will do the job for this class. Please do not bring a Blackhawk Serpa or a soft nylon holster to class. If you have any questions about gear\, email me at kevin@quietlyarmed.com.\nA magazine pouch to store an extra magazine. If you do not have a magazine pouch\, this model will expand to fit just about anything out there.\nA good gun belt is highly recommended.\nEye protection\, ear protection\nWater\, bug spray\, sunscreen\n\nThis class is designed to show people how to make the transition from just have a piece of paper that says you MAY carry a defensive firearm with you to someone who has the skills and confidence to carry on a regular basis. \nTopics covered will include: \n\nHow to get your gun into the fight as fast as possible\nSafe use of a holster\nThe use of a pistol as a defensive firearm\nMaking the shot on-demand\nAdvanced accuracy techniques\n\nAt the completion of this course\, each student will understand how to keep their firearm concealed until it is needed.\nThey will also know how to quickly and effiecently deploy it in a safe manner should the need arise. \nSpread The Word:ShareFacebookEmailTwitter

SUMMARY:Self Defense Inside The Home: Saturday\, Nov. 8th
DESCRIPTION:Pistolcraft 102: Self Defense Inside The Home\n9am\, Saturday\, November 8th at Deep50 Range\nYour home is your castle. Use it to your advantage. \nThis three-hour class covers a topic that is easily overlooked by American gun owners. Having a gun for self-defense means keeping it near you when you’re out and about AND when you’re in your home. \n\nOver 60% of assaults happen during a home invasion\n65.1% of people personally know their thief\n95% of burglaries involve a forceful entry into the home\nThe average burglary lasts only 8 to 10 minutes\n\nCrime statistics tell us what the bad guys are looking for when they enter a home\, and this forms the heart of what will be taught in this class. Rather than go into endless “what if” scenarios\, we give you straight-ahead solutions to the terrible problem of an armed home invasion. This in turn means you can rest easier at night\, knowing those under your care are safe and sound. \nStudents will be drawing from a holster and moving with a firearm in their hands in this class. Therefore\, for safety reasons\, completion of the Pistolcraft 101 or an equivalent post-concealed carry firearms training class is a requirement for taking this class. Please contact us with any questions about your prior training experience. \n\nA pistol (9mm or larger caliber preferred)\n100 rounds of practice (FMJ) ammunition\nTwo or more spare magazines\nA holster\, Outside the Waistband (OWB) preferred\nA magazine pouch to store a spare magazine on your person\nEye protection\, ear protection\, sunscreen\, water\n\nTopics covered in this class include \n\nThe Basics Of Close Quarters Engagements\nMaking Your Home Work In Your Favor\nLow Light Tactics\nHardening Yourself and Your Home\nMaking Good Decisions When They Matter The Most\n\nThe three hour session helps you maximize the benefits and minimize the risks of having a self-defense firearm in your home. Our goal is stay safe no matter what happens\, which includes keeping firearms out of the hands of anyone not authorized to use them. \nSpread The Word:ShareFacebookEmailTwitter

SUMMARY:Defensive Shotgun 1: Saturday\, December 6th
DESCRIPTION:Intro To Defensive Shotgun\n9am\, Saturday\, December 6th\, Deep50 Range\nThe defensive shotgun might be the most effective home defense firearm around\, but it is not a “fire and forget” sort of thing. Unlocking the true potential of a defensive shotgun takes some knowledge and familiarity with your gun and the ammunition it uses. This four hour class will show you just how effective a tactical shotgun can be in a home defense situation and give you the skills you need for optimal use of your scattergun when literally everything is on the line. \nTopics that this class will cover include: \n\nHistory of the defensive shotgun\nDifferences between a hunting shotgun and a tactical shotgun\nShotguns vs rifles for home defense\nGear and accessory choices\nSafe storage and deployment of the shotgun\nControlling recoil for fast follow-up shots\nReloading and ammo management\n\nGear Requirements:\nEither a pump action or semi-automatic shotgun is suitable for this class. The tactical or defensive use of the shotgun is radically different from its use in bird hunting or clay pigeon sports. As such\, it demands a different setup compared to a hunting gun. \nYour shotgun should have a shortened or adjustable stock for maximum effectiveness. If your shotgun has a tube magazine\, you should also have some method of storing additional ammo on the gun such as a butt sleeve or a receiver-mounted shotshell carrier. If you have a box magazine-fed shotgun\, bring at least two magazines as well as some way to store a magazine on your beltline. Shotgun slings with ammo loops are not recommended for this class. \n“FIREARMS” SUCH AS THE MOSSBERG SHOCKWAVE OR REMINGTON TAC-14 OR SHOTGUNS WITH A PISTOL GRIP AND NO STOCK ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THIS CLASS \nThe effective range of those guns is far shorter than a shotgun with a stock\, and as such\, they are not compatible with what the techniques taught in this class. There will be no refunds issued if you show up to class with inappropriate firearms or ammunition. \nThe barrel length of your shotgun should be between 18 and 22 inches. Barrels longer than 22 inches will be cumbersome and awkward in our context. A shotgun with a barrel and a stock less than 18 inches long is a Class III firearm. If you legally possess a short barrel shotgun\, feel free to use it in class. \nAmmunition Requirements\nYou will need 100 rounds or more of birdshot. We prefer #4\, #5 or #6 shot for training use. Really small shot\, like #7 ½ or #8 spreads out really quickly. Larger shot\, like #4\, more closely mimics buckshot at the distances we will be using. \nPLEASE DO NOT BRING ANY STEEL SHOT TO THIS CLASS \nIf you show up with shotshells full of steel shot\, you won’t shoot. It’s as simple as that. We do this for safety reasons\, and it’s just another one of the ways that a tactical shotgun differs from a hunting shotgun. \nYou will need approximately 20 rounds of buckshot. We prefer standard load eight or nine pellet 00 Buck. Magnum loads only increase the recoil and will beat you up to no advantage. Standard velocity 00 Buck will do just fine. If you want absolute maximum performance\, I suggest Federal Premium 8 pellet 00 Buck with the FliteControl wad. \nIf you have any questions about gear or ammunition prior to the class\, please email kevin@quietlyarmed.com. \n\n\nTOPICS COVERED\n\nHistory of the defensive shotgun\nDifferences between a hunting shotgun and a tactical shotgun\nShotguns vs rifles for home defense\nGear and accessory choices\nSafe storage and deployment of the shotgun\nControlling recoil for fast follow-up shots\nReloading and ammo management\n\nStudents will learn the following: \n\nThe history of the tactical shotgun and how it is different from a shotgun for hunting\nThe advantages and disadvantages of shotgun sighting methods\nHow to manage the recoil of their shotguns for fast follow-ups shots and effective target transitions\nHow to manage ammunition and keep the shotgun in the fight\nHave an opportunity to shoot a Federal law enforcement shotgun qualification (for instructional purposes only)\n\n\n\n\n\nSpread The Word:ShareFacebookEmailTwitter

SUMMARY:Low Light Defensive Encounters: Saturday\, December 13
DESCRIPTION:Low Light Defensive Encounters\n6pm Saturday\, December 13 at Deep50 Range\n“There’s no such thing as ‘street crime’ for the armed citizen\, rather\, there’s only ‘parking lot crime’.” – Tom Givens \nNighttime and other low light situations limit our ability to spot trouble before it becomes a problem for us. This is just one of the many reasons why crooks use it to their advantage\, and prey on innocent people under the cloak of darkness.  \nUnfortunately\, there are a lot of myths around how a low light environment works for and against those who would do us harm. The vast majority of low light instruction comes from a military or law enforcement background\, using techniques which may or may not be applicable to the armed citizen.  \nThis class\, however\, is designed to give the armed citizen the knowledge and skills they need to come out on top of an encounter in an urban low light environment.  \nTopics covered will include:  \n\nDifferent types of lighting environments and how they affect our vision\nLow light vs no light: Which is more common for the armed citizen?\nGear choices for when it gets dark \nNight sights\, weapon lights\, lasers and red dots \nDefensive flashlight techniques \nDefensive pistol use in a low light environment \n\n \nMandatory training requirements for this class.  \n\nCompletion of at least six hours of post-concealed carry class training\nAbility to draw a pistol from a holster and safely re-holster using one hand\nConstant and consistent application of the four rules of gun safety\n\nGear requirements for this class \n\nA modern\, semi-automatic pistol in 9mm or greater caliber with or without a weapon-mounted light attached \nAt least three magazines for your pistol\nA belt magazine pouch \nA secure and stable gun belt \nA safe and comfortable OWB (outside the waistband) holster for your pistol (IWB and concealed carry ONLY with instructor permission)\nA headlamp flashlight with a red lens and white light\nA bright (300 lumens or greater) tactical flashlight with a tail-mounted activation switch\n200 rounds of FMJ ammunition \nOptional: A rifle\, pistol caliber carbine or shotgun with a weapon-mounted light and 50 rounds of ammunition (rifle/PCC) or 20 rounds of birdshot (shotgun)\nBug spray\, water\, range gear. \n\nClass will be approximately 4-5 hours long and will be held at the Deep50 Gun Range.  \nSpread The Word:ShareFacebookEmailTwitter

SUMMARY:Florida Concealed Carry: Saturday\, January 17th.
DESCRIPTION:Intro To Defensive Pistol\n\n\n9am\, Saturday\, January 17th at Deep50 Range\nThe government of Florida has rolled back some of its more invasive laws and now allows for both permit-free carry (aka Constitutional Carry) and open carry of a defensive firearm. \nCool. \nHowever\, just because these behaviors are now allowed doesn’t grant Florida residents any special insight as to how to carry a defensive firearm. That’s where I come in. \n\n\n\n\nMy name is Kevin Creighton\, and I run Quietly Armed. I am a full-time professional firearms writer for the National Rifle Association\, and I teach firearms training in the Naples area. I am not your typical “fly by night” firearms instructor. I put in the time and energy into my classes in order to make sure you receive the best possible instruction. Here’s just a few of things that set my classes apart from the others: \nThe state of Florida requires an instructor to have just 24 hours of training before they can teach a concealed carry class.\nI have over 1\,100 hours of firearms instruction.  \nState law says that if you can pull the trigger of a gun and make the gun go “bang!\,” you have enough training to defend your life.\nI teach you how to place your shots on-target when literally everything depends on your marksmanship. \nOther instructors talk about their military or law enforcement experience.\nThat’s great\, but how is that relevant to you in your daily life? \nI’m just like you. I enjoy the relaxed lifestyle we have here in Naples\, and I want you and your loved ones to keep enjoying your lives and to keep you safe from those who would do us harm. This class will cover: \n\nMethods of Concealed and Open Carry\nFlorida Firearms Law\nPersonal Safety Tips\nChoosing A Defensive Firearm\nBasic Pistol Marksmanship\n\nClass is limited to 12 students maximum \nStudents will qualify for not only their Florida concealed carry permit\, but have a chance to practice other tests and drills as well. \nIf you want to take advantage of the newly-recovered freedoms we have in the Florida in the safest possible way\, I urge you to sign up for this class today.  \nIf you choose to apply for a concealed carry permit (and there are many good reasons to do so\, even with Constitutional carry)\, this class qualifies you to do so. \nSee you at the range! \n\n\nSpread The Word:ShareFacebookEmailTwitter

SUMMARY:Florida Concealed Carry Class Saturday\, March 28th
DESCRIPTION:Intro To Defensive Pistol / Florida Concealed Carry\n\n\n7:30 am\, Saturday\, February 28th at Deep50 Range\nThe government of Florida has rolled back some of its more invasive laws and now allows for both permit-free carry (aka Constitutional Carry) and open carry of a defensive firearm. \nCool. \nHowever\, just because these behaviors are now allowed doesn’t grant Florida residents any special insight as to how to carry a defensive firearm. That’s where I come in. \n\n\n\n\nMy name is Kevin Creighton\, and I run Quietly Armed. I am a professional firearms writer and I teach firearms training in the Naples area. I am not your typical “fly by night” firearms instructor. I put in the time and energy into my classes in order to make sure you receive the best possible instruction. Here’s just a few of things that set my classes apart from the others: \nThe state of Florida requires an instructor to have just 24 hours of training before they can teach a concealed carry class.\nI have over 1\,200 hours of firearms instruction.  \nState law says that if you can pull the trigger of a gun and make the gun go “bang!\,” you have enough training to defend your life.\nI teach you how to place your shots on-target when literally everything depends on your marksmanship. \nOther instructors talk about their military or law enforcement experience.\nThat’s great\, but how is that relevant to you in your daily life? \nI’m just like you. I enjoy the relaxed lifestyle we have here in Naples\, and I want you and your loved ones to keep enjoying your lives and to keep you safe from those who would do us harm. This class will cover: \n\nMethods of Concealed and Open Carry\nFlorida Firearms Law\nPersonal Safety Tips\nChoosing A Defensive Firearm\nBasic Pistol Marksmanship\n\nClass is limited to 12 students maximum \nStudents will qualify for not only their Florida concealed carry permit\, but have a chance to practice other tests and drills as well. \nIf you want to take advantage of the newly-recovered freedoms we have in the Florida in the safest possible way\, I urge you to sign up for this class today.  \nIf you choose to apply for a concealed carry permit (and there are many good reasons to do so\, even with Constitutional carry)\, this class qualifies you to do so. \nSee you at the range! \n\n\nSpread The Word:ShareFacebookEmailTwitter

SUMMARY:Diagnostic Pistol: Saturday\, June 13\, 1pm
DESCRIPTION:Most gun owners go to the range to have a good time and put rounds into the target. Some shots go right where they aimed them\, some do not. Most gun owners accept that fact\, say “That’s good enough” and move on with their lives.  \nThis class is not for them.  \nThis class is for the people who don’t accept “That’s good enough” as being good enough. It’s not enough for them to hit paper\, they want to be able to make the shot on-demand\, under high levels of stress.  \nClass Date: Saturday\, June 13th\, 1pm at Deep50 Range\nThis class will show you how to diagnose the errors in your pistol marksmanship and give you insights on how to correct them in real-time. If you’re tired of beach-ball sized groups on your target and want to start shooting softballs (or even ping-pong balls)\, this is the class for you. \nTopics Covered In This Class \n\nImproving Your Grip \nIsolating The Trigger Press \nInformation vs Urgency\nThe Importance of Tracking Your Sights \nRecoil Control \nThe Vision Thing \nCalling Your Shot\nTest And Evaluation \n\nThis class is four hours long and requires 250 rounds of ammo. Class size will be topped at just six people to allow plenty of opportunities for 1-1 instruction.  \nSkill Level:\nIntermediate  \nGear Required:  \n\nDefensive pistol with holster (No SERPA or nylon holsters)\, 9mm or larger caliber\nThree or more magazines \nMagazine pouch \n250 rounds of practice ammunition \nEye and ear protection\, water\, sunscreen\n\nIf there are any questions\, please email me at kevin@quietlyarmed.com.  \nSpread The Word:ShareFacebookEmailTwitter

SUMMARY:Defensive Carbine 1: Saturday\, July 11th\, 1pm
DESCRIPTION:Intro to Defensive Carbine\nOnce vilified as an “assault weapon\,” the AR-15 is\, in fact\, a very effective tool for home defense. Light\, easy to handle and with little appreciable recoil\, it can be quickly adapted to fit each user in ways other rifles cannot. \nThis four hour class will cover the application of an AR-15 to the thorny problem of home defense. Students will learn how to optimize their defensive carbines for use inside the home\, how to use a sling\, as well as learn which accessories are “must haves” for a home defense carbine. This class is specifically designed for all the gun owners out there who bought an AR-15 in the past few years for home defense (a good idea) but then don’t know what the next step is. Well\, this is it. \nIn addition to this\, the class will cover the different types of close-quarters optics and how to keep your rifle in the action. \nClass Date: Saturday\, July 11th\, 1pm at Deep50 Range\nThe live-fire portion will cover zeroing your gun\, understanding and overcoming mechanical sight offset and speed and accuracy at common home defense distances. \n\nHistory and operation of the AR-15\nAdvantages and disadvantages of the AR-15 for home defense\nChoosing an optic for your rifle\nOther accessory choices\nSetup and sling use\nStance\, grip and sight alignment\nZeroing your sighting system\nEngaging targets at common self defense distances\nUse of cover\n\nSpread The Word:ShareFacebookEmailTwitter
