Concealed Carry Handgun Training (CCHT), as offered by Triad Defense, meets and exceeds State of New Mexico standards for concealed carry licensure. This two-day course addresses the training needs of clients with no handgun knowledge, as well as avid shooting enthusiasts. Novice handgun users are guided from the most basic skills to the ability to handle a firearm with confidence and safety, while experienced shooters are exposed to high-stress, scenario-based training that challenges and improves their skills.

For Triad Defense, this training is not just about the license or permit to carry a concealed handgun. It is about providing clients with the skills necessary to survive a deadly conflict. It is about giving them a firm understanding of the law, knowledge of their weapons, belief in their abilities, and the foundation to make solid decisions. Triad Defense founder, David P. Brown, takes the State of New Mexico requirements for concealed carry seriously. There are no short-cuts in this training--no quick way to a permit.

As a career law enforcement officer, David P. Brown believes in the effectiveness of face-to-face, one-on-one, realistic training. He teaches environmental awareness, verbal de-escalation skills, effective hand-to-hand principles and the fine art of firearm use as a last resort. When the moment to qualify arrives, the candidate will not only be equipped with solid marksmanship fundamentals, but also the confidence that comes with a proficiency in “shoot, don't-shoot” decision making that saves lives, and if necessary, provides legal protection in a court of law.
