MK Protection Strategies

MK Protection Strategies has trained thousands of students for Wisconsin concealed carry permits since 2016. Here's the reality: online training doesn't work in Wisconsin. You need in-person instruction, and you need it from someone who knows the law.

Their concealed carry classes cover what actually matters:

• •Personal and home safety
• •Handgun safety and operation (not just gun mechanics)
• •Shooting fundamentals and practical application
• •Legal use of force and when you're protected
• •Physiological effects of extreme stress in a threatening situation
• •The legal aftermath of a self-defense incident
• •Wisconsin carry law specifics

• •The WI CCW permit has reciprocity in over 30 states, which matters if you travel or work across state lines.

Malissa Misch founded MKPS in 2016. She's USCCA and NRA certified, Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services firearms certified, and trained at Front Sight's Defensive Handgun Course in Nevada. Her team includes:

• •Ryan Boerner — 18-year municipal police veteran, 16-year SWAT member, 10-year team leader. Also a 20-year judo practitioner.
• •Leah Letson — USCCA certified, Air Force veteran, 9-year Wisconsin Air National Guard Technical Sergeant, current UFC fighter, 23 years martial arts experience including third-degree black belt.
• •Bill Stedman — Firefighter and EMT since 1995, SAFE International certified, 36 years martial arts background.

This isn't about talking about guns. It's about people who've actually faced threats and know how humans respond under pressure.

Before you carry, you should know how to actually operate a pistol. Their beginner class covers:

• •Universal gun safety rules
• •Basic handgun terminology
• •Safe handling with training pistols
• •Shooting fundamentals using SIRT laser training pistols

• •Cost: $60 per person, 2 hours. Private classes available for groups of 10 or more at your home or their Menomonee Falls location.

Range lessons with certified instructors run $50 per person. Recommended for beginners who want guided practice before carrying.

Not every threat requires a gun. Their self-defense workshops teach:

• •How attackers actually choose victims
• •Awareness and avoidance strategies (your first line of defense)
• •Verbal de-escalation and why yelling at an attacker might backfire
• •Pre-contact cues that signal danger
• •Physical responses to front attacks, rear attacks, and ground scenarios
• •Scenario-based training in realistic locations (your front door, kitchen, car, yard)

• •Format: One hour public workshops or private sessions for groups of 6+ at your location or their facility. They specifically teach women's self-defense programs and high school curricula.

"What has made us so popular is our unique method of teaching with humor. Get to experience our simulated attacks in scenario specific situations..." — From student feedback

Statistics show Wisconsin ranks high for school bullying. SAFE International MKE offers parent-child and school assembly workshops (one hour each) that cover:

• •Why people bully
• •Realistic response options for kids and parents
• •Peer intervention tactics

Monthly public workshops available, plus on-site programs for schools and organizations.

"I attended two classes at MK: learning about a handgun and a Concealed Carry class. Malissa is a great teacher, so helpful and knowledgeable. So enjoyed being in a small class with all women." — Theresa J.

"The takeaway from that experience changed their perspective on self confidence, self awareness and brought them to the understanding they hold their own power to success!" — Liz W., Mequon
