Citizens Defense League

Citizens Defense League handles CPL certification for Metro Detroit shooters who want actual training, not just paperwork. All classes are USCCA certified and meet Michigan's live-fire requirements—minimum 8 hours, 30 rounds downrange, lunch included.

• •CPL Certification Classes – State-required 8+ hours covering firearms fundamentals, situational awareness, conflict avoidance, de-escalation, and self-defense law
• •Group Classes – Bring your friends, family, coworkers, or church group for private sessions
• •1-on-1 Coaching – Work on specific marksmanship and gun-handling weaknesses with direct instruction

They emphasize what matters: understanding firearms safety, reading situations, avoiding conflict before it escalates. The CPL certificate is just the paperwork—the real value is knowing when not to carry and why self-control matters.
