SUMMARY:Integrated Handgun (Crowheart\, WY)
DESCRIPTION:Master the Skills to Defend Yourself and Your Loved Ones in the Real World\n\n\nThe Integrated Handgun course is for individuals ready to elevate their defensive handgun training. Building on the foundational skills taught in our Intro to Home Defense Handgun\, Defensive Handgun 101/102\, and Handgun Presentation and Safety Clinics\, this program focuses on bridging the gap between isolated drills and practical\, real-world application. \nWhy This Course?\nIn a defensive encounter\, the ability to safely and efficiently deploy your firearm is just one piece of the puzzle. Real-world situations don’t occur in isolated silos—they are dynamic\, unpredictable\, and high-stress. To prepare for these realities\, you need training that mirrors the dynamic environment in which these skills will be applied. \nThink of it like sports: you can shoot free throws all day long in a controlled setting\, but the game itself is constantly changing—with players moving\, the clock ticking\, the pressure mounting\, and decisions that have to be made. Defensive firearm skills are no different. Research shows that to truly build proficiency\, you must train in an environment that reflects the complexity and demands of real-world scenarios. \nThe Integrated Handgun course creates that dynamic training environment. Through realistic drills and immersive exercises\, you’ll learn to seamlessly integrate your defensive handgun skills while employing other options into a fluid response—preparing you to act decisively when it matters most. \n\nWhat You’ll Learn\nThis course moves beyond static range drills to teach you how to integrate defensive skills into a realistic environment\, including: \n\nDynamic Communication: Learn how to issue clear commands\, manage bystanders\, and de-escalate a threat when possible.\nShooting in Complex Environments: Practice defensive firearm use in and around vehicles\, crowded spaces\, and other challenging situations.\nMovement & Evasion: Develop strategies to evade threats\, work with cover\, and move effectively under pressure.\nRealistic Decision-Making: Train in simulations that force you to assess threats\, act decisively\, and adapt to unpredictable challenges.\nCritical Injury Response: Develop the ability to quickly apply bleeding control techniques to yourself or others in the aftermath of a defensive encounter\, ensuring you can provide life-saving care when every second counts.\nTransitioning Skills: Understand how to integrate your firearm use with other defensive techniques\, such as using improvised tools or unarmed tactics.\n\n\nWho Is This For?\nThis course is ideal for those who have completed our Intro to Home Defense Handgun\, Defensive Handgun 101/102\, or other similar fundamental training from another school and want to develop a deeper\, more practical understanding of defensive handgun use. This course is for you if you’re ready to move beyond the basics and train for real-world encounters. \n\nCourse Details\n\nPrerequisites: Completion of a foundational handgun course (e.g.\, Intro to Home Defense Handgun or Defensive Handgun 101/102)\nDuration: [2 days]\nCost: [397.99]\nRequired Gear: A reliable handgun\, quality holster\, and at least 600 rounds of ammunition. A detailed equipment list will be provided upon registration.\n\n\nWhy Train With Us?\nAt Bearco Training\, we believe in preparing you for reality—not just the range. Our experienced instructor uses proven methods\, immersive scenarios\, and dynamic drills to help you build confidence and competence in your defensive skills. \n\nAre You Ready?Take the next step in your defensive training journey.

SUMMARY:House of Worship Safety Team Training (Fletcher\, NC)
DESCRIPTION:Safety Response Training for Places of Worship\n\n\nWhile our places of worship are generally free of violence\, these types of encounters take place every day through the United States. In fact\, violent crime has been on the rise on faith-based properties and events in recent years. Law enforcement plays a huge role in dealing with these events\, however\, those present at the time are the ones that are forced to respond first. Because of this\, it is important to be both proactive in normal operations and have training for what to do during a violent encounter. While we cover several types of situations\, this training course is usually focused on responding to an armed or unarmed attacker. \nThis course is typically hosted by a place of worship for their staff or volunteers\, or those serving from surrounding places of worship. Reach out to us if you are interested in hosting. We also highly custom tailor these classes to fir the needs of the host facility. \nThe non-live-fire seminar is designed to provide houses of worship with a broad overview of planning for the worse-case of an active shooter event\, as well as dealing with more common day to day situations. \nClassroom Seminars May Include:\n\nHistory and Statistics\nApplicable Laws\nBuilding Safety Teams\nTeam Communication\nUse of Force Options\nUnderstanding Firearms\nCarrying vs Staging\nUse of lights\nCover & Concealment\nShooting in Crowded Spaces\nCommunicating with 911\nImmediate Casualty Care\nInteracting with Law Enforcement\nTraining Simulations or Scenarios\n\nLive-Fire Course Topics:\n\nFundamentals of Defensive Shooting\nPresentation from the Holster While Carrying Concealed\nRealistic Training for Multiple Target Engagement\nOne Handed Shooting\nCover and Concealment\nShooting in Crowded Environments\nExtreme Precision and Unreasonable Distances\n\nStudents will typically fire about 400 rounds during a 1-day course or about 800 over a two day course. \nGear Requirements For Live-Fire Classes\n\nNote-Taking Materials\nYour defensive handgun\nAt least 3 magazines for double-stack\, 5 for single-stack handguns\n500 rounds of ammunition per day of training\nA good quality\, rigid holster that allows for one-handed re-holstering.

SUMMARY:Defensive Handgun 101
DESCRIPTION:Go beyond the required concealed carry\, or ccw\, certification course and develop true defensive shooting skills. Our Defensive Handgun Fundamentals course is the big piece that is not covered during the concealed carry permit certification courses. In this course\, we build defensive shooting skills in context of a public environment ambush-style attack. Presentation from the holster\, defensive shooting concepts\, and other skills are covered during this live-fire course on the range. \nThis course is offered as both one and two full days of intense training\, teaching and practice on the range. \nSome of the topics we may cover: \n\nFundamentals of Defensive Shooting & Intuitive Skill Development\nDefensive Accuracy\nLateral Movement\nTrue Assessment\nSpeed vs Precision and How they Relate to One Another\nReloading During an Emergency\nRealistic Training for Multiple Target Engagement\nUnderstanding the Body’s Natural Reactions During an Ambush-Style Attack\nOne Handed & Weak Handed Shooting\nClearing Malfunctions\n\nThis defensive handgun training course is all about quickly developing fundamental skills that can be applied during a worst-case ambush-style defensive shooting situation while concealed carrying. \nStudents will typically fire around 400 rounds during a 1-day course and around 900 during two day course. \nOpen to:General Public / Law Enforcement / Military / Private SecurityCourse Eligibility:While we do not have prerequisites on this course\,  it is best to be somewhat comfortable with your handgun. If you are just starting out\, our Introduction to Defensive Handgun course or private training sessions are better options.  \nPrice: 1 Day: $2502 Day: $350

SUMMARY:Louisiana Concealed Handgun Permit Certification
DESCRIPTION:We do cover shooting fundamentals in this course\, but it is mandatory that you have some prior knowledge and shooting experience before signing up for our ICC course. This course is not a learn how to shoot course\, it's more of a learn how not to shoot course. Louisiana does have a shooting qualification requirement\, and it's this that mostly makes up the time at the range.  Our Intro to Defensive Handguns course is a much better option for learning how to use firearms defensively as a new student. We also offer private training sessions that better prepare students for concealed carry. Please contact us if you’re interested in signing up for this course and a private training session at a discounted rate.  \nTopics Include: \n\nSafety\nDefensive handgun types\, nomenclature\nDefensive firearms ammunition\nHolsters and holster presentation\nAwareness\nAvoidance\nDe-Escalation\nShould vs. Could\nLouisiana’s laws on using force\nRegulations surrounding the permit\nAlternative force options\nStorage and access prevention\nDefensive shooting fundamentals\nThe importance of firearm cleaning\nConcealed carry considerations\nThe aftermath of using a firearm in self-defense\n\nRequired gear for each shooter: \n\nDefensive Handgun with 2 mags for semi-autos.\n50 rounds of ammo.\nHearing and eye protection.\nThe range gets dirty at times after rain\, please bring shoes that you will not get upset if they get dirty.\nYou may bring a lunch or pick up something from one of the fast-food type places nearby the classroom.\n\n
