Delaware Permit to Purchase (Hybrid)

A structured introduction to lawful handgun ownership in Delaware


Who This Is For
First time handgun purchasers and responsibly minded adults who want to approach ownership with clarity and intention before buying.

What You’ll Build

  • Working understanding of universal safety rules
  • Clear awareness of Delaware’s legal framework for purchase and possession
  • Foundational handgun operation knowledge
  • Ammunition basics and safe storage planning
  • Safe handling demonstrated under supervision
  • Basic marksmanship sufficient for qualification

What Makes This Different
This is not a box checking class. It is a responsibility first entry point. The hybrid format combines focused virtual instruction with an in-person live-fire qualification to ensure accountability. You do the classroom work deliberately from home. Then you demonstrate safe handling and controlled shooting on the range.

The objective is not simply to obtain a permit. It is to step into ownership with structure, sound judgment, and clear expectations about what responsible handgun ownership requires.

From Zero to Bang: Mastering the Defensive Draw

A refinement workshop built to pressure-test and sharpen your draw  from concealment


Who This Is For
Concealed carriers and trained shooters who already understand safe handling and want measurable improvement in presentation speed, efficiency, and first-shot accountability. This is not a beginner course.

What You’ll Build

  • Consistent garment clearing under time
  • Reliable grip establishment at the holster
  • Efficient presentation from concealment to extension
  • First-shot accuracy at realistic defensive distances
  • Controlled movement and close-quarters retention
  • Decision-making under structured time pressure

What Makes This Different
This is measured work. Timers are used. Repetitions are deliberate. Inefficiencies are identified and corrected in real time. You will feel where your draw breaks down under pressure and fix it through structured repetition.

You leave with a defined process you can execute on demand. When the moment comes, performance matters more than theory.
