This course will fulfill the educational requirement for a student to apply for an Ohio Concealed Carry Weapons permit. While the State of Ohio only requires 8-hours of instructional training, Citizen Defense gives our students the extra experience and training opportunity that far exceeds the ‘minimum.’ Students will experience “real-world” education and hands-on firearms training, provided exclusively by veteran and OPOTA Certified Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors. Citizen Defense will provide you with the confidence in safe firearms handling, close-quarter firearm tactics, reinforce the principles of personal responsibility of carrying a concealed weapon, and begin to develop the fundamental platform to better prepare you for ‘the fight.’ We train like we fight…and fight like we train.
