Training
Everyday Carry (EDC) Pistol
In light of recent events, such as the Greenwood Indiana mall shooting, we know that responsibly-armed citizens are well-trained citizens.
Are you?
In the Indiana incident, the sheriff praised the citizen saying he "engaged the gunman from quite a distance with a handgun, was very proficient in that, very tactically sound..."
- Can we ever be prepared enough?
- In a similar situation, would you be "very proficient"?
- Do you feel "very tactically sound"?
Let our EDC instructors help. Learn best practices and practice the skills you need to survive a violent confrontation.
Complete the series and receive the 22three EDC challenge coin.

Strong and Support EDC
In Strong and Support EDC, we’ll teach life-saving skills to help you survive a violent threat. We’ll spend time not only on one-handed, dominant hand best practices, but on invaluable support-hand skills. Your dominant hand may be occupied protecting a loved one or defending yourself. In a violent confrontation you may instinctively shield your head or strike the aggressor in self-defense, which may lead to an injured hand. Being confident using either hand by itself is part of knowing how to use your weapon safely and responsibly.
Why: Increase your odds of surviving a violent confrontation with solid strong- and support-hand fundamentals.
Prerequisite: Holster Draw and Deal with It! EDC required.
Required equipment: reliable handgun; strong side, outside the waistband holster that doesn’t collapse on drawing; 150 rounds ammunition; at least 1 spare mag with mag holster (or spare speed loader for revolver); no Serpa holsters please.

Why: Because you will be a better prepared, defensive marksman ... and you'll have fun along the way.
