Concealed Carry Dynamics

Concealed Carry Dynamics operates very similarly to Home Defense at Vortex Edge, but our primary focus becomes defending yourself and your loved ones outside the home. Our goal as instructors in this class is not to create a constant feeling of fear or anxiety, nor is it to glamorize the necessary responses to worst-case-scenarios. The number of variables at play in a defensive scenario away from your home elevate significantly. We want to equip you with the tools necessary to feel confident and better prepared to handle a threatening interaction with another person outside your home, a sudden injury to yourself or a loved one from an accident, or the need to use a concealed firearm in self-defense and the potential ramifications that accompany the use of deadly force. Firearms and shooting are absolutely part of “Every Day Ready”, but the concepts addressed in this class go far beyond simply being able to shoot a gun.
