Defcon Defense - OKC Handgun Training

Defcon Defense has been teaching firearm safety, tactical handgun classes, and concealed carry certification throughout the Oklahoma City metro area, Edmond, and Stillwater for nearly a decade. The operation is run by an instructor who holds Oklahoma Peace Officer certification and has completed over 450 hours of reputable certified firearms training, tactics, and gun safety instruction.

"If you carry (or plan to carry) a firearm for self-defense, please do not deceive yourself into thinking that self-esteem is the same thing as skill. In moments of conflict, we do not rise to the occasion, we default to our training."

Defcon Defense makes a specific point: there are four reactions to stress—fight, flight, freeze, or posture. If your plan is to fight effectively, you need training. The other three responses will happen on their own, probably not in your favor.
