About us

You’ll feel like family when you take Armed2Defend’s Ohio concealed carry (CCW) training. Before the training we’ll keep you updated with the training and license process. You’ll be confident that you’re coming to the class ready. At the training you’ll love our interactive teaching style that keeps you engaged and learning through the whole day. On the range, you’ll get 1-on-1 instruction to be sure that you’re confident shooting. We can supply the gun and ammunition, or you can bring your own. Most of our students are beginners and they leave excited about what they learned. At the end of the day you’ll have everything you need to apply for the license. We keep the whole process simplified for you. The fee is also one of the best values around at only $90 with no hidden charges. We believe that the right of self-defense should be affordable or simplified. Give us the opportunity to show you our high-quality instruction and to help simplify your application process. We also do NRA and USCCA Instructor training. I’m looking forward to meeting you in a class soon! If you have questions, please ask, we’re here to help!

This was my second year participating in the Rosie Pistol session. Every one of the instructors are amazing. I have learned so much including how to properly handle my firearm. It’s not just about “aiming at a target and shooting”. There is so much more! I have had my conceal carry for years but was no way ready to carry. I now know how to safely handle a firearm and get to practice these skills that they teach to each and every one of us in a non-intimidating atmosphere every month. I look forward to going to their range. All of the instructors are amazing and so kind. Kevin, Alisha, Stacy, and Cody are there to help you and encourage you. They have amazing eyes and see everything you do to help you improve and build on your skills. I highly recommend Armed2Defend !!!!

Armed2Defend is a very sophisticated firearms training center, with an emphasis on safety and individual instruction. The concealed-carry instruction far exceeds the requirements of Ohio's concealed-carry training law, including an in-depth lecture on self-defense law from a practicing attorney. The live-fire portion of the training is conducted at Armed2Defend's private shooting range and each student receives individual guidance from a certified instructor to ensure proper instruction in shooting basics and safety. I also trained with Armed2Defend to earn my NRA certification as a range safety officer and a chief range safety officer.

Excellent on safety. Lawyer wasn't able to attend. Range was good.
Response from Armed2Defend LLC
"Hello [Member Name Removed], thank you for taking the time to write this review. When training people on firearms, safety has to be the top priority. Not only the immediate safety aspects on the day of the training, but we work hard to build a safety attitude for the students to carry with them after the class. I apologize that Attorney Ken Hanson wasn't available the day that you took the class. For awhile there he was struggling with a lot of health issues. One benefit of our class is that all students can always come back to hear the attorney presentation. He usually presents around 10 am but just contact us to get the time before coming. I hope to see you again soon!"

I have taken my CC and Advanced Handgun training with Armed2Defend, Kevin runs a top-notch operation and his instructors are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. 
Despite my local range offering CC classes, I went with Armed2defend based on the reviews.  I was not disappointed.
Why pay more for an overpriced CC class when Armed2defend can give you everything you need?

Best CCW course around, inexpensive, but know means cheap or lacking. Excellent coverage of law, gun ownership and extensive shooting practice.
