1. First off, a really HUGE thank you to Carolina Self Defense for serving as my facility for classes. This wouldn’t have been possible without them: https://carolinaselfdefense.com/
2. Much of our coursework was put together by the NRA Training and Education division, and has some overlap with the Concealed Carry course we also offer at CSDKM. The Concealed Carry course is good for NC applications and helps also bypass the “permission slip” that is required to purchase a firearm in NC. https://nrainstructors.org.

6. Mantix X Pink Rhino - the laser trainer we used for hands on: https://train.mantisx.com/
7. Crackshot – You can also use an Ipad to capture with camera where the laser from the laser trainer hits on a target that you define in the app. I use it to track the laser and where it hit on the IDPA targets hung on the wall. You want the marksmanship trainer, not the virtual reality trainer: https://crackshottraining.com/
