Weapon Retention Class Now Available!

WEAPON RETENTION CLASS
Wednesday, May 15th
6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
&
Wednesday, June 12th
6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.

$ 75.00 Per Person

If you carry concealed with the intent of using a gun to defend yourself, the last thing you want to happen is for it to be taken away and used against you.

As a concealed carry weapon owner, you must know how to retain control of your gun at all times.

Learn to protect and keep your weapon safe and in your possession, while in its’ normal carry position, during an assault or physical confrontation, or after you have drawn it during an encounter.

Topics Covered:
- Mental Preparation & Awareness
- Universal Protection (Initial response to aggression)
- Holstered Weapon Retention
- Un-Holstered Weapon Retention
- Disengagement and Follow-up Considerations
- Alternative Force Options (OC Pepper Spray)
- Deadly Force Decision Making

Bring:
- If you have a weapon and a concealed holster please bring them with you to the class. NO LIVE AMMO PLEASE. If do you do not, we will supply the equipment and provide information you can use to properly select the appropriate rig for you.

Dress in comfortable street clothes and shoes for each of the classes. Please dress in the type of attire that you would normally wear while carrying your weapon.

While many firearm courses assume that presenting or firing a gun will instantly stop a threat, experience shows that there is a good chance you will end up grappling with your attacker. In fact, criminals often attack without warning, delivering a sudden sucker punch or taking you to the ground before you can deploy your weapon.

You do NOT need martial arts training for this course. The techniques are simple and effective, regardless of the size or strength of the attacker.

You must pre-register and pre-pay in order to attend.  

Register at www.DetroitArms.com

Class is taught by an active duty police officer, certified in Handgun & Weapon Retention techniques and training.   He is also a certified NRA and MCOLES instructor.

As You Shop Around Town as a CCW/CPL Holder……

Certain businesses in Michigan have posted “No-Guns” signs indicating that persons lawfully licensed to carry concealed firearms for self defense are not welcome on their property or within their place of business.

Those are the places I don’t patronize.

Check to see if you do……Click Here:  MCRGO

Get our new app for your iPhone or iPad!

Safety Grid, “The World’s Best Panic Button”, is Now Available on the App Store for the iPhone and iPad!

In the event you are feeling unsafe, simply press the SafetyGrid button on your iPhone or iPad and SafetyGrid will silently alert up to 5 of your personal contacts, of your situation and your estimated location.

Jim Hankins, owner of All Points Media Works and most notably the husband of Doreen Hankins, owner of Detroit Arms, has announced the release of an iPhone and iPad App called Safety Grid “The Worlds Best Panic Button” for that works on the iPhone and iPad.

Compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and iPad Wi-Fi + 3G, SafetyGrid utilizes a Patent Pending enhanced alert messaging system.

Unlike other systems, SafetyGrid messages supports silent two-way alarm acknowledgment. The user is immediately aware of whether or not their request for help message was successfully sent, as well as if it was acknowledged by one of their contacts, as a visual icon in the app changes based on the state of their alarm. The silent alarm feature is a plus in the event of a kidnapping or other emergency where a discreet alarm is necessary.

Alarm messages are sent to the users chosen contacts via SMS text messaging and email, as well as by automated phone voice messaging. If the user subscribes to popular social media networks, alarm messages can also be posted to their published wall status. SafetyGrid also utilizes the GPS function of the iPhone or iPad, giving alarm recipients an approximate location of the caller.

SafetyGrid creator Jim Hankins states that his motivation for such a service was really quite simple, “If we save the life of just one person, the ten months of development I put into this will all be worth it! Many times police departments won’t take missing person requests for people until they haven’t been heard of for 24 hours or more,” states Hankins, “and based on statistics that show the first 48 hours are the most critical in solving a crime, we are literally buying time in order to save a life.”

Hankins adds, “SafetyGrid is not meant to be a replacement for dialing 911 or contacting the local authorities in the event of an emergency. This is simply another mode of contact when dialing 911 and speaking into a phone is not an option.”

The initial SafetyGrid App purchase price of $2.99 includes five full feature alarms, which can be used for testing or for actual emergencies. Additional alarm credits are also available for purchase, or the user may also continue to use the system without SMS / Voice at no additional charge. The system will send Alarm Notifications and Test Alarm Notifications via Email and if enabled, to the users social media status page for no charge.

SafetyGrid is a patent pending product brought to you by All Points Media Works. Apple, the Apple logo, iPhone and iPad are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries. App Store is a service mark of Apple Inc.
