Many who travel throughout the US, obtain Out-of-State Concealed Carry permits from states such as Utah, Florida, Virginia, etc. Obtaining these permits is easy and, unfortunately, do not require specific self-defense training.
The mini-class offered by KJD Firearms Training called "Basics of Self-Defense & Holsters" provides an introduction to basic self-defense training using a handgun as well as holster selection and use.
Some of the topics covered are:
1. Developing a person protection plan
- Be aware and observe your surroundings.
2. Shooting fundamentals for defensive accuracy.
- Learn concepts and shooting techniques specific to defensive training.
3. Necessary Equipment
- Selecting the proper holster and practicing drawing form the holster.
4. Range time (optional)
5. Required reading / viewing
- "In the Gravest Extreme" (See my posts on a short review of this important book).
- Handgun Workout (DVD) by Lenny McGill (See my post on a short review of this important DVD)
Finding the correct holster for your body and firearm is no small challenge. Most guns stores have holsters in packages and don't usually allow "try ons" -- taking it out of the package and trying it on. Being able to try a few without actually purchasing is helpful, allowing one to practice drawing with their own handgun is ideal. Our mini-class does just that.
Why even thing about holsters in a state like New Jersey that doesn't allow concealed carry? Out of state concealed carry permits can be obtained by NJ residents. These permits allow the licensee to carry a concealed handgun in a number of participating states -- not, of course, New Jersey. For example, the Utah out of state permit allows a person to legally carry concealed in 32 states. http://www.publicsafety.utah.gov/bci/FAQother.html

KJD Firearms Training conducts a mini-class that provides an introduction to the basics of self-defense and allows the student to try on a number of holsters as well as belts.
Students can bring their handguns or can be provided handguns to practice drawing from the holster. Considerable practice drawing is required before you will know if the holster is a good fit.
Belts are important and some samples are available for demonstration and trying on.
This mini-class also identifies and practices exercises to develop and / or sharpen defensive handgun skills.
