If a you want to see a Cornered Cat class scheduled for your area, please help me out by spreading the word!
Contact your favorite range and ask them if they'd be interested in hosting a women's course from an experienced, qualified national instructor. The classes I am offering include:
Cornered Cat: Concealed Carry for Women 2 Day Class – This class provides 18 hours of classroom and range instruction, taking students from the shooting basics through intermediate skill levels. Discussion topics include how to choose and use holsters for concealed carry; gun safety; the self defense mindset; and legal aspects of using deadly force in self defense. On the range, participants review the basics of defensive handgun work, beginning with the fundamentals of grip, stance, sights and trigger control. Once the fundamentals are covered, students learn to draw from concealment, reload, clear malfunctions, use cover, and shoot while moving. Prospective students must be familiar with their own firearms and be prepared to fire over 400 rounds during the weekend.
Cornered Cat Purse Class – This one-day class meets the needs of women who intend to carry firearms in their purses. Using role play and non-firing dummy guns (provided), this hands-on course allows women to experiment with different types of purse carry, find good ways to access the guns in their purses, and discover self defense techniques that work well with this style of carry. Although this is not primarily a shooting class, we will spend a brief time on the range to allow each woman an opportunity to practice drawing and firing her own handgun using her own carry purse. If you do not have a holstered purse for use in class, you should consider taking the holster seminar before investing in a purse. If you will be carrying in a non-holstered purse, you are welcome to bring it, but we may ask you to use one of our holstered purses for some parts of the program.
Women's Holster Seminar – This three-hour classroom-based exploration of carry options for women includes hands-on opportunities to check out many different holsters and alternate carry methods using non-firing dummy guns for classroom safety. We explore both on-body and off-body carry techniques, discuss the nitty-gritty details of how to carry in various situations, and place a strong emphasis on finding a practical carry method that fits comfortably into each woman's wardrobe and lifestyle. This isn't a shooting class, but a terrific opportunity to handle holsters from a wide variety of companies, to explore carry options you might not have discovered yet, and to learn more about making concealed carry work for you.
SPECIAL! Gun shop owners: if your store would like to host one of these seminars for your customers, CCTC offers a brief employee-only seminar to help your sales counter staff improve holster and gear sales to female customers.
