1-Day CCW + Defensive Shooting Course
 
Legal Carry. Real Skills. Elite Instruction.
 
Getting a permit doesn’t mean you’re ready to defend life. This course is for those who understand the difference. Led by Jack Shepard, a USMC Counterintelligence Specialist veteran, graduate of the Special Operations Training Group Advanced Combat Course, and Senior Program Manager for the USCCA’s Defensive Pistol Program, this is more than a Wisconsin CCW class — it’s your on-ramp to responsible, high-level personal defense.
