Flexible Carry-Beyond the Waistband
Carrying concealed in non-traditional holsters, such as bags and purses
The briefing
Not every person can, or wants to, carry a firearm on their body. This is an 8-hour course designed to teach responsible firearm owners how to safely and effectively carry a firearm in a purse, bag, or other appropriate "off-body" carry method.
This course goes beyond simply placing a firearm inside a bag. Students will learn the principles, safety considerations, equipment selection, and practical skills necessary to incorporate "off-body" carry into their everyday lives while maintaining responsible firearm handling practices.
Whether you are new to "off-body" carry or have been carrying this way for years, this course provides an opportunity to evaluate your equipment, identify potential safety concerns, and develop better habits for responsible everyday carry.
You must be at least 21 years old to participate.
You are welcome to bring a bag you'd like to use, if not we will have some available to try.
