IMPORTANT: This course is NOT a concealed carry weapon (CCW) permit/certificate course. This is a training course. However, as of July 4, 2024, Louisiana is a Constitutional Concealed Carry state. This applies to anyone who is 18 years of age or older and who is not prohibited from owning a firearm by state or federal law. To learn more about permitless carry of a concealed handgun in Louisiana, please watch our video on this topic located at the bottom of this page.
This course, like many of our other training courses, is designed to be taught in a small - large group setting of approximately 2-20 participants or as a one-on-one private session. There are periodic breaks throughout the course, along with an allotted lunch break (approximately 30 minutes). Due to this being a group session, the training pace is slowed down so the group advances as a whole. This course is expected to last approximately 7-10 hours. We do our best to make sure all questions asked by participants are answered and understood before moving onto the next block of information. This helps to reduce the chances of any participant(s) falling behind during the training.
We also have guns, equipment, and ammunition available to use for our training courses if needed. For more information, please click here: Equipment Rental and Ammunition Purchase
The Intuitive Defense, LLC Canceled Carry Tactics Training Course is a one day course and is suited for a wide range of shooters regardless of experience level, but specifically designed for new concealed carry individuals or or those who have minimal experience with concealed carry.
Self-defense is a personal responsibility, especially since the government cannot guarantee your safety all the time. As such, having the ability to carry a tool that allows you the ability to better protect yourself and other is your right. A gun is an effect means of self protection and in some cases can act as a force multiplier.
Carrying a gun is just part of that equation. Having the proper training is the other half and in some cases, the most important part. The majority of conceal carry weapon (CCW) permit/certificate courses do not provide a lot of training time focused on basic shooting fundamentals or conceal carry considerations. Because of this, a lot of people leave those courses with more questions than answers, causing them to be less confident in themselves and sometimes, deciding to not conceal carry. Since Louisiana and other states are not Constitutional Carry states, going through a conceal carry weapon (CCW) permit/certificate course is necessary so you can legally conceal carry in Louisiana. This also give you the ability to conceal carry in other states through reciprocity.
The Intuitive Defense Conceal Carry Tactics Training Course bridges that gap from your conceal carry weapon permit/certificate course to you confidently carrying concealed. There are a lot of consideration and responsibilities to take into account when carrying a gun. If you are put into a self-defense situation, you need to confidently survive that situation legally, civilly, and mentally. The last thing you want to do is hesitate because you are unsure in yourself or your abilities.
One of our goals is to make each and every participant more knowledgeable and confident when carrying a gun. We believe that our teaching method, along with having a simplified, yet informative course of instruction will do just that.
Some of the materials covered in this course are, but not limited to:

Ammunition Considerations
You do not positively know where your shooting skill level is until you asses it, which requires you to run your gun and put rounds on target at the range. That being said, we know ammunition is expensive and in some cases, can be difficult to find. We also know how important it is to get confirmation of skill though live fire drills on the range, which is why we offer two round count variants for our firearms training courses which gives you the ammunition expenditure option that works best for you.
Please note these options do not change the cost of the course, unless you are purchasing ammunition directly from Intuitive Defense to use in the Concealed Carry Tactics Training Course. More information on purchasing ammunition from us can be found in the Equipment Rental and Ammunition Purchase section below.
Wether you are brining your own ammunition or purchasing from Intuitive Defense, please specify which option you want (FRC or LRCA) at checkout or when you request a Quote for Training. It should be noted, if you are brining your own ammunition, full metal jacket (FMJ) is typically the best option as it is usually cheaper than other types. Ammunition purchased through Intuitive Defense will be full metal jacket (FMJ) as well.
For this Concealed Carry Tactics Training Course, if all Courses of Fire (CoF) are shot, the course ammunition loadout per participant is:

Equipment Rental and Ammunition Purchase
If you want to attend this training course or any others we offer, but you do not have your own gun, equipment, and/or ammunition, that is not a problem. We have made our guns and equipment available for those who need to rent them. This gives the participant the opportunity to get hands on experience at the range with a pistol before needing to purchase one for themselves. This can save time and money along with, helping to ensure you purchase a pistol that is right for you when that time comes. Going through the training before hand will also allow you to be more confident and comfortable when you get your first pistol. It is important to remember, not all pistols are created equal so understanding the feel, grip, weight, caliber, and size will allow you to be better informed when you go to the gun store.
Need ammunition for the training course? We got you covered there too! You can do a course specific full loadout or purchase what you need in 100 round increments (partial loadout). The second option works well for those who already have some ammunition, but not enough to complete a training course. The ammunition we offer is full metal jack (FMJ), which is perfect for range use.
Lastly, we also offer the "John Wick Experience". This is a unique opportunity to shoot several different types of pistols, to include those with red dots at the end of the training course. Experience is everything, especially when determining what type of pistol might be right for you. The John Wick Experience benefits new shooters, people who do not own a pistol yet, or those looking at getting another pistol.
