Summer has a way of getting busy.

Before vacations, family gatherings, camping trips, and hunting season fill the calendar, now is a great time to get your permit or complete your renewal training.

Our next Minnesota & Wisconsin Concealed Carry Certification class will be held on Saturday, June 27, at the Osceola Rod & Gun Club. This will be our last scheduled CCW class of the summer.

Whether you're new to carrying, want to better understand the laws, or need to renew your Minnesota permit, we'll walk you through the process in a relaxed, professional learning environment designed to build confidence and competence.

If you've been thinking about getting your permit, don't wait until fall and wish you had done it sooner.

There's just something satisfying about hearing steel ring.

Monday nights at the Osceola Rod & Gun Club are quickly becoming one of my favorite nights of the week. It's a chance to spend time with a great group of shooters, challenge yourself a little, and have some fun in the process.

Every week is different. New stages. New challenges. Some weeks you'll do better than others, but every week you'll learn something and leave a little more proficient than when you arrived.

What I enjoy most is seeing shooters of all experience levels come together. Some are brand new. Others have been shooting for years. Everybody encourages each other, shares a few laughs, and enjoys some friendly competition.

If you've ever thought about getting more proficient with your handgun, this is a great way to do it.

We start at 6:00 PM every Monday evening at the Osceola Rod and Gun Club.

Who's coming out next Monday?

Hope to see you on the range.

Outstanding day on the range today with a private Handgun Defensive Shooting class and a great group of guys committed to sharpening their skills and mindset.

This class is designed to help shooters build confidence, improve defensive handgun skills, and become better prepared to protect themselves and the people they love. Whether you’re just getting started or have years of experience, quality training and time on the range matters.

When seconds matter, we are often the first responder. Training matters. Preparation matters.

Interested in setting up a private class for your group, business, church, friends, or family?

When it matters most… you are the first responder.

Not law enforcement.
Not EMS.
Not someone else.

You.

This is why we carry.

Not out of fear…
but out of love for the people who depend on us.
