01 // DETAILS
Full description and what we offer
Concealedcarrykalispell is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business run by Will Parker, a Navy and Marine Corps veteran with over 25 years of active-duty experience. He's been teaching firearms and tactical instruction since 1994.
Will doesn't teach bare-minimum "state requirement" classes. Every course includes:
"Will's concealed carry class is simply fantastic. It's very thorough and in-depth. Honestly, I feel like I've attended the Harvard of concealed carry classes." — Alex W., Owner of Paws to Think
Will's background isn't typical for a civilian firearms instructor:
"I can confidently say Will Parker is the best coach/instructor I have had the privilege of learning from. As a former collegiate level shooter, I have not had a coach who is able to progress me further in two hours." — U.S. Olympian-trained shooter

They say they're more expensive—and they're right. But the money-back guarantee isn't just marketing. They've never had a student take them up on it. If you're nervous about the price, you'll know within the first 90 minutes whether it's worth it.

Lacking any gear? Contact Will directly—he can help arrange rentals at additional cost.
An additional $25 gets you training for a Utah Concealed Firearms Permit, which allows carry in states not covered by Montana, most notably Washington. This decision is made at registration, and Will discusses pros/cons during class.
Will trains on three levels:
1. Prevention (Soft Skills) — Recognizing threats before they develop, de-escalation, situational awareness. 2. Defense (Hard Skills) — Defensive shooting, weapon handling, tactical movement. 3. Legal (Self-Defense Law) — When deadly force is legally justified, what happens after, how to protect yourself legally.
Whether you've never held a gun, served in the military, hunt regularly, or carry professionally, you'll benefit. The difference between carrying a firearm for work or hunting versus protecting your family's life is significant. That's what this training addresses.
All scheduled classes are held at Freddie Merc's via Sportsman & Ski Haus in Kalispell. Register through Sportsman's Customer Service or online. Payment in full due at registration. If you can't attend, contact Will at least 72 hours in advance to reschedule.
Even if your spouse doesn't plan to carry, Will recommends they attend. They'll understand the legal and tactical considerations of a defensive encounter and be prepared to assist you during and after an incident.
