We at Defensive TRIAD recognize and appreciate the right to carry concealed a handgun and appreciate the efforts of our local law enforcement to continue to support the residents of Placer County, Sacramento County and surrounding areas in their right to self defense. In order to increase your chances of surviving a violent attack, carrying a firearm for defense of your life or your loved one is an excellent force equalizer and another tool in your arsenal.
Initial CCW course:
This course is 16 hours (as needed starting 2024 with passage of SB2) and satisfies the requirements of your county for the initial CCW application process. During this course, lecture content will include instruction on the laws regarding carrying a concealed firearm, safety, anatomy of the firearm, fundamentals of marksmanship, and methods of carry. Range time will consist of instruction on presentation from a concealed carry position, making accurate groups from close contact to 25 yards and multiple targets. It is suggested that you use the carry method in class that you intend on utilizing once you obtain your CCW permit so we can better instruct you with presentation using your preferred method of carry. We will also introduce you to concepts necessary for all CCW holders including weapon retention skills, defensive tactics, vehicle tactics, and close contact maneuvers and movement in structures. While this course requires some lecture components, the majority of class in spent shooting or performing scenarios to better equip you for the worst moments of your life.
Renewal CCW course:
This course is 8 hours in length and satisfies the requirements for renewal of your current CCW permit. Refer to the Sheriff Department website to ensure that you are within the time limits to renew your permit if your permit is currently expired or about to expire. Your renewal course will focus on safety, defensive shooting skills, drawing from a concealed position, stoppage drills, multiple opponents, defensive shooting scenarios and lecture time on the changes and updates in the laws surrounding California's firearms possession as well as a mental health component. Our renewal course is designed to refresh you on all of the skills that you will need to continue to safely carry your firearm and better prepare you for a violent encounter.
