Diamond Defense - Arkansas Conceal Carry Classes

Threats come in all shapes and sizes and more than likely will happen when you least suspect it. The best we can do is to respond to an act that’s already happened or in the process of unfolding so you’re already behind.

In order to stay sharp mentally and ready physically takes training. Involve yourself with training that will develope your OODA Loop. That’s what happens the instant you see a threat. “O” - your first act is you Observe the threat. You see it happen, you’re watching it unfold then you must “O”- Orient yourself to that threat. You have to get your mind right and body situated to that threat.

The third step or the “D” is now you have to make a decision! What will be your actions? A decision that must be made in a split second can determine whether or not you or others survive.

Once that Decision has been made after the Observance and Orientation of yourself to that threat, you ACT! What will you do?

This is WHY Force on Force Training is vital to survival! Your training through your OODA Loop! You have been making Training deposits in your account and now it’s time to make a withdrawal! When you insert that bank card into the ATM, you want and NEED there to be money in that account!

You will NEVER act above your highest level of training! You’re not Superman. There will be NO phone booths around for you to step into and come out ready and able!

Training helps you make deposits in your OODA Loop Account!

Refuse of be a Victim! Get Trained! If you carry, you have a great responsibility. Take it seriously!

Finished up a long day yesterday. Had the Combined class. If you want the Enhanced and don’t already have your Basic endorsement, you’ll have to take the Combo class. It’s a long day and you only get 3 chances to qualify at the range. I will only do this class for 4 students minimum.

If you don’t have the Basic, I don’t recommend taking the Enhanced. Get you Basic first then down the road, you can take just the Enhanced upgrade. Much easier that way! If you’re interested, let me know!

There’s not a person in this country that is more pro 2A than me! With that said, if you’re going to carry then you need to be responsible, confident and competent in the carrying and deployment of that firearm!

If you’re not comfortable in carrying a firearm, all you need is training. Find a good firearm instructor and get trained.

After your training, make it a habit to regularly run through dry fire exercises and shooting at the range and practicing safety. Make it a part of what you do! Be ready so you don’t have to get ready!

Finished up our NRA Basic Pistol Class Saturday. Another good day to learn the basics. This is a great class for individuals new to fi****ms. I highly recommend this class to new pistol owners BEFORE you decide to apply for your Arkansas CHCL license or if you plan on carrying period.

Carrying a firearm is a very serious act and demands firearm knowledge, safety and proficiency. It’s YOUR responsibility to get proper training.
