Armed2Defend

Armed2Defend is a leading provider of Ohio-specific Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permit training, dedicated to helping ordinary people carry concealed firearms with confidence. Founded by Kevin and Alisha, who transitioned from their everyday professions as a scientist and teacher to passionate advocates for responsible gun ownership, Armed2Defend is committed to delivering high-quality training that prioritizes safety and competence over mere compliance. Their mission is to empower individuals who may not identify as "gun people" to seek the peace of mind that concealed carry can provide.

At Armed2Defend, the focus is on practical, meaningful instruction that resonates with students. Kevin and Alisha’s firsthand experience of inadequate concealed carry training spurred them into action, leading Kevin to obtain his NRA Instructor credentials to ensure that others receive the support and knowledge they deserve. Each class is designed to foster an environment of comfort and confidence, equipping participants with the skills necessary to navigate the responsibilities of concealed carry. In addition, students can access valuable resources like the FREE Ohio CCW Training Guide, which includes real answers to the concealed carry test and tips to avoid common pitfalls.
