Firearms Training for Self Defense and Recreation
Highlands Defense provides a safe and inviting environment for students of all levels of experience. Our mission is to provide high quality instruction for people who want practical skills to protect themselves in everyday life. We want people to build confidence in their abilities and the peace of mind that comes with the knowledge and experience that professional training can provide.
We offer a range of classes from the basics of safe handling to more advanced defensive skills. All of our instructors are certified and all of our classes provide the minimum training requirements needed to obtain a concealed handgun permit in the state of Colorado. Maybe you want to brush up on the basics or learn how to use a new piece of equipment. All of our classes are held at Pikes Peak Gun Club.
Notice: As of July 1st, 2025, classes from any certified firearms instructors will no longer qualify for Colorado Concealed Handgun Permit training requirements. Any class you take from us before that date will still qualify you to apply for your permit before that date. Starting in February, 2025, we will offer the required classes for applications that are submitted after that date.
We offer many classes to the general public and can arrange private classes. Contact us to discuss your specific training needs.
