everyday Carry Program
Everyday Carry Level 1
Enhance your personal safety and preparedness with our Everyday Carry (EDC) Course, designed for individuals looking to effectively integrate self-defense strategies into their daily lives. This course covers core concepts of EDC, including the selection of practical carry items, situational awareness, and personal defense tactics.
Everyday Carry Level 2
This course is built for concealed carriers who have completed EDC Level 1 and who want practical, repeatable skills for everyday personal protection. Students will cover concealed permit considerations, threat analysis, and decision-making under stress using the OODA Loop (Observe–Orient–Decide–Act) and Cooper’s Color Code. Training emphasizes mindset and behavioral discipline (“no best friend, no worst enemy”), along with target analysis, identifying center of gravity, creating an escape plan, and selecting safer routes and positions in public spaces.
Everyday Carry Level 2
EDC Level 3 is an advanced concealed-carry course for students who have completed EDC Levels 1 and 2 (or have equivalent training) and are ready to apply their fundamentals to more complex, real-world defensive problems. The course emphasizes practical decision-making and accountable marksmanship under pressure, with a focus on using cover effectively, recognizing and acting within brief engagement opportunities, and managing collateral risk by controlling angles and maintaining awareness of what is beyond the threat.

level 3
Everyday Carry (EDC) Level 3 is an advanced concealed-carry course for students who have completed EDC Levels 1 and 2 (or have equivalent training) and are ready to apply strong fundamentals to more complex, real-world defensive problems. This class is performance-oriented and built around practical decision-making, accountable marksmanship under pressure, and repeatable methods suitable for everyday carry.
A major emphasis is learning to solve problems with better tactics—not just faster shooting. Students will work on using cover efficiently, recognizing brief engagement windows, and managing collateral risk by controlling angles and maintaining awareness of what is beyond the threat.
Participants will:
Use cover more effectively while minimizing exposure and learning efficient positions and movement to and from cover.
Improve timing and judgment by identifying and acting on realistic engagement opportunities under time and decision pressure.
Strengthen collateral-risk and background management by controlling angles, reading the environment, and maintaining awareness beyond the target.
Learn vehicle-defense realities including what vehicles can (and cannot) provide as cover or concealment, and how bullets interact with common vehicle materials.
Safely engage from inside a vehicle with practical methods for both driver and passenger positions, emphasizing safe gun-handling, efficiency, and control.
By the end of EDC Level 3, students should be able to:
Use cover more effectively while minimizing exposure.
Identify and act on engagement opportunities with better timing and judgment.
Demonstrate improved awareness of collateral risk and background management.
Apply realistic vehicle-based tactics and understand vehicle ballistic limitations.
Safely engage from driver and passenger positions with improved efficiency and control.
