Vixen Defense

Vixen Defense focuses on getting shooters properly trained and legally compliant for carrying. Their core offering is the MN Carry Class—a low-pressure course designed for everyone from brand-new shooters to experienced carriers renewing their permits.

The $95 per-person class includes everything you need:

• •Handgun safety and shooting fundamentals instruction
• •Live-fire range session with targets
• •Legal overview of carry rights and responsibilities
• •Class materials, snacks, and beverages
• •All firearms, ammunition, and protective gear

You don't need to bring anything. No firearm? They supply one. Want to use your own gun? Bring it. Prefer your own food? That's fine too.

Important: Passing the class doesn't automatically make you licensed to carry. You'll need to apply at your local sheriff's department within one year of training (maximum fee $100) to get your actual permit.

• •Standard Carry Classes – Open to all skill levels, scheduled multiple times per week
• •Ladies Only Classes – Dedicated sessions focusing on women-specific carry and self-defense topics
• •Private Classes – Available at times that work better for you; contact them to schedule

Their certification is accepted by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and also qualifies for Wisconsin and Florida conceal and carry permits.
