Gun Training

Recommended by Sheriff Richard Mack!

Recently we had the pleasure of attending a Sheriff Mack (http://www.sheriffmack.com) speech in Montrose.  Sheriff Mack is famous for suing the Clinton Administration over the constitutionality of the Brady Bill…and winning!

Richard in Texas-march 2009-medWhat an outstanding speaker he is!  For over two hours he kept us entertained about the Constitution and what our local sheriffs and county commissioners can do to stop the federal government from encroaching on our rights.

If you get the chance to see him speak in person, I highly recommend doing so.

In addition to the other enlightenments he offered, he told the audience of about 600, “I will never take a national ID card, national health care, nor will I ever give up my guns!”  He added that, “I recommend you do the same.”

Sheriff Mack went on to recommend that EVERYONE learn how to shoot and learn how to shoot well. “Especially women,” he added.  Sheriff Mack continued to specifically recommend women take their gun training through Survival4Chicks right here in Ouray.

Gun training, for women, can be intimidating.  Especially when you’re surrounded by testosterone at the range.  That’s why Survival4Chick’s gun training is woman-instructed and we only allow woman students.  We keep things fun while realizing the seriousness of what we’re doing.  You’ll find that our gun training classes are practical and nurturing, as any woman’s program should be!

All regular classes are conducted in Ouray, Colorado.  For more information about the area check out www.ouraycolorado.com.

Lodging, meals, travel, and ammunition are the responsibility of the student.

Concealed Handgun Permit Course:

In these troubled times the knowledge of personal defense skills may be lifesaving. It is a fact that the police are unable to protect all of the people all of the time. Because of this the burden of protecting your family or yourself, may possibly be dependent on your self-defense skills. Although without a working knowledge of weapon operation and safety, an armed person may be more dangerous to his/her family or himself/herself than the threat he is protecting against. Whether a novice or have trained somewhere else, this course will take you through step-by-step designed drills to enhance your skills.

In this course the student will be instructed in:

  • Legal aspects of self defense
  • Firearms safety
  • Weapon selection
  • How the handgun works
  • Maintenance
  • Fundamentals of marksmanship
  • Loading / Unloading
  • Tactical reload vs. emergency reload
  • Presentation from the holster
  • Immediate action drills
