“I took Kirbey’s Basic Pistol Class and his Concealed Carry safety class and enjoyed both. Kirbey is a very knowledgeable and personable guy. He takes something as serious as gun ownership and makes you want to learn more. Thanks, Kirbey for taking the ‘fear’ out of being around firearms.“

“Kodiaks Firearm Training was able to give me lots of information about how to take care of my gun and what was permitted when I was traveling to Oklahoma to visit family. I knew that they were considered positive on the reciprocity map, so I was excited that I could conceal and carry my weapon without issue during our time there. I recommend calling Kodiaks Firearm Training if you have questions before traveling!”

Salem Lakes, WI

“I signed up for a firearm training course with Kodiaks Firearm Training to improve my skills and apply for a permit after moving to Wisconsin. I was really pleased with how organized the class was and how much I didn’t know about guns. I definitely recommend this gun class if you want a CCW permit in the near future!”

Frank O.

Kenosha, WI

“What I like most about Kodiaks Firearm Training is that the core of their work is rooted in safety. I wanted to purchase a firearm to protect my family since we live in a remote area of Wisconsin. I was so happy to learn that they had safety methods to inform me of how to better protect my children from the gun but also how to use it when I needed to keep unwanted animals or intruders away.”

Our gun classes are designed to be practical for the present concerns we face today and grow your confidence in being prepared.

Concealed Carry Class

WI CCW refers to Wisconsin’s Concealed Carry Weapons regulations and the rules surrounding them. In our training course, we’ll give you all the information you need to gain your permit for CCW, the process, what limitations there are with your permit, and what to do if you’ve been denied a permit. Our unique Home Defense CCW Class includes a curriculum for having a family plan and specific training for protecting your property.

Weaponscraft

The Weaponscraft class is designed for individuals interested in firearms. This class teaches the fundamentals of different calibers of firearms, including the pros and cons of each. This education will help beginners make an informed decision when purchasing their first firearm. Experienced gun owners will also benefit from the class, as they will gain a comprehensive understanding of other firearms, which will help expand their knowledge and expertise. The class covers the basics of firearm operation, safety, and maintenance, as well as more advanced topics such as accuracy, ballistics, and shooting techniques. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced shooter, this class will provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary to safely and effectively handle firearms.

NRA Basic Pistol

An NRA basic pistol class gives you the introductory basics of how to operate pistols and other handheld guns. This is for personal protection as pistols are often used by private citizens for concealed carry (versus other types of larger, long-range guns). Since pistols are smaller, they’re ideal for CCW, as you can easily cover them and store them in your pocket, bag, or purse, while in public.

Personal Training

Kirbey offers personal training to those who want his full attention to your personal and specific situations. He will make sure to answer all your concerns about the responsibility of firearm ownership, protecting life, and preserving property. There is nothing more valuable than having Kirbey’s consultation and making sure you have a planned defense that is lawful and ethical. He can meet you at your home, a target practice range, or at an agreed-upon location. Affordable rates. Contact us today to start a dialogue.

Group Training

Firearms are an essential part of many people’s lives, whether for personal protection, hunting, or sport. Whatever your reason for owning firearms, it’s essential to ensure that you are well-trained in their use. Group firearm training is a great way to learn about firearms and how to use them safely and effectively. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about group firearm training.

CCW Requirements per DOJ

The Wisconsin Department of Justice regulates issuing CCW permits and sets out the local standards for Wisconsin gun ownership safety. With the Department of Justice, you’ll apply for first-time permits, and renewals, file any appeals you might have, or gain more insight into gun regulations in Wisconsin. Along with administrative duties, the Department of Justice also has training requirements set in stone for those looking to apply for permits, which include the fees associated with the application and the types of training certifications accepted as proof of firearm training.

2nd Amendment Right

The 2nd Amendment clearly states that American citizens have the right to own and bear arms for personal use. We use the 2nd amendment to conduct our work in order to protect our own rights and to protect others as well. What the 2nd amendment doesn’t protect, however, is the right to misuse your gun or threaten the wellbeing of others. That’s why we take training seriously and want to ensure that those who come across our courses understand how to safely use and handle their guns.

Reciprocity Map

The Reciprocity Map is designed to help gun owners understand where their CCW permits are honored in other states. Some states honor Wisconsin permits in return for honoring other permits, while some permits are honored in one state, but not reciprocated. In such cases, it’s important to do your research before attempting to conceal carry your weapon in a state where you aren’t sure of their local gun laws.
