Carry Tactics – a MUST if you carry a firearm
Maryland Carry Tactics
Millions of citizens have permits to carry a firearm. Some get their Concealed Carry or Wear & Carry Permit based on price alone. And, quite honestly, they never learned the skills needed to professionally carry a firearm.
And that’s why I have this saying…
“THE TRAINING THAT ENDS UP COSTING YOU THE MOST MAY BE THE TRAINING THAT HAS THE CHEAPEST PRICE.”
Every firearms training institution is different, and the quality of the education or requirements vary widely.
Our philosophy is simple: We want to train professionals who want to get home, not to the prison cell or the morgue!
There is a Fortress Training Difference!
If you took a class that was inexpensive just to “get through” the permitting process, you owe it to yourself and your family to be prepared to carry a firearm in a way few others understand.
You need training beyond what you learned in your permit class.
With Carry Tactics, you’ll learn 4 critical concepts of carry and 3 skills to master in a gunfight.
Our Carry Tactics are divided into four training components
