Your CCW Weekend Is August 7 and 8
If getting your concealed carry permit has been sitting on your list, this is the weekend to check it off. We run a back-to-back CCW weekend you can finish in two days:
Friday, August 7: Classroom in La Mesa. Initial applicants, renewals, and Day 1 of the 16-Hour class.
Saturday, August 8: Live range day on our private outdoor range in Escondido. This is where the classroom becomes muscle memory.
Renewing your permit? You only need the Saturday range day. New applicants pair the Friday classroom with the Saturday range to finish the requirement in one weekend.
You will train with me directly. I am P.O.S.T. certified, NRA LE-affiliated, and I have spent 35+ years teaching defensive firearms. I keep the outdoor range small on purpose, so seats go quickly.
Private Training Available
Prefer to train on your own terms? Our Private Firearms Training is built around your schedule and your skill level. Want to fix one specific thing, like a flinch, a slow draw, or first-shot accuracy? We can focus the whole session on it. Book private indoor lessons in Kearny Mesa, or a private group session outdoors in Escondido or Alpine.
Private group classes are a great way to train with people you trust. Bring your church group, your family, or your co-workers and learn together in a session built just for you. Email us with a few days and times that work and how many will attend, and I will follow up personally to confirm your custom session. Book private training.

This Week’s 2A News, Curated: Joe Drammissi’s Weekly Roundup
Every week Joe Drammissi digs up the gun and Second Amendment stories you probably missed, from writers you may not follow, and lines them up in one quick read.
This week’s Roundup #130 covers an armed civilian who stopped a knife attack at a California restaurant and what it means for “sensitive area” carry laws, a federal judge urging the Supreme Court to rein in the 9th Circuit, AR-15s and standard magazines returning to Virginia shops, and a clear-eyed look at the misinformation gun control groups keep recycling.
And he always closes with a laugh. Here is this week’s:

Worth Watching: The Real State of California Carry
Before you go, I want to point you to a segment my friends at Gun Owners Radio just released: “How to Get Your CCW in California in 2026.” Michael and Dakota walk through exactly where California carry stands today, and it is the clearest 38 minutes you will spend on the subject.
Here is why it is worth your time. The rules have shifted under our feet, and half of what people repeat is already out of date. They break down the Wolford decision and the new “vampire rule” for private businesses, which SB2 sensitive places still hold up and which are gone, the “50-state CCW” and reciprocity scams flooding your feed, and the disclosure question that quietly sinks applications. Whether you already carry or you are about to start, this is the briefing you want before your next class.
“Don’t look at the technique, or final action, look at the tenacity, the will, and the indignation that fueled the action.” — Tony Blauer
