Why Your Concealed Carry Class Wasn’t Enough
If you’ve taken a concealed carry course and still feel unsure about safely drawing your firearm from a holster, you’re not alone.
Most concealed carry classes in Florida — especially the ones without live-fire training — simply aren’t enough to make you confident, capable, or safe. Sure, they may fulfill the minimum requirement to get your Florida concealed carry license but carrying a firearm in public demands more than watching a few slides and firing a few rounds at a range.
At Liberty Defense Works, we believe responsible gun owners deserve more.
What’s Missing from Most Concealed Carry Courses?
Many traditional classes lack:
- Live-fire training with your actual carry firearm
- Practice drawing from a holster
- Range-based coaching in real-world conditions
Without these hands-on skills, your firearm likely stays locked in a safe — which means you’re not actually prepared to protect yourself or those around you.
The Liberty Defense Works P1 course Difference
Our P1: Pistol Fundamentals course goes far beyond the classroom. It’s an 8-hour, range-only course in Jacksonville, Florida designed for beginners and intermediate shooters who want to train the right way — with live fire, real drills, and confidence-boosting fundamentals.
You’ll learn:
- Firearm parts and safety rules
- How to draw from a holster safely
- Proper grip, stance, and trigger control
- How to acquire a sight picture and hit your target under pressure
- What to do in case of malfunctions
This course also qualifies as training to apply for your Florida concealed carry permit — but more importantly, it equips you to carry with real confidence.
Ready to Carry Confidently?
Whether you’re a first-time gun owner or someone who’s had a permit for years but never really trained, our P1 course is for you.
