Detroit Michigan CCW / CPL Training

Michigan Civilian C2 TASER® Training Course – $50.00

Posted on May 10, 2012 by Doreen Hankins

Detroit Arms now offers a TASER® training course and certification for those interested in learning how to utilize a TASER® or stun gun as a non-lethal method of self-defense.

The C2 TASER® is an electronic control device intended to provide civilians a less than lethal method of self-defense, in effort to temporarily render an assailant incapacitated.

The new TASER® C2 series has an almost 100% effectiveness rating, combining the injury-reducing benefits of traditional stun technology with the enormous stopping power of neuromuscular incapacitation (NMI) technology.

As the user deploys the TASER® C2, it provides an incredible self-defense advantage allowing them to simply drop the device and get away during the 30-second interval the attacker is rendered incapacitated.

This course is designed to afford citizens a certification class providing a hands on training approach to understand how to properly deploy the TASER® C2 weapon in a safe and effective manner. This training course is structured into three formats; lecture, demonstration and scenario.

YOU WILL NOT BE TASED OR STUNNED IN ANY MANNER DURING THIS COURSE!

Course Price: $50.00 Duration: 2 hours

Course Dates/Times:
Monday, May 21^st from 10:00 a.m. – Noon

Plan to carry a Taser or Stun Gun? You’ll need a CCW/CPL!

Posted on May 1, 2012 by Doreen Hankins

As we’ve reported in the past, tasers are closer than ever to becoming available for purchase by Michigan residents – quite possibly as soon as this summer!

After making some minor changes recently, the state House passed a package of Senate bills authorizing individuals who have a concealed pistol license to carry a Taser or stun device for personal protection.

The legislation would allow licensed Michigan CCW/CPL Holders to buy and carry a single-shot consumer-grade Taser that fires two dart-like electrodes up to 15 feet, or a battery operated stun device.

This is big news for those of you who wish to carry a less-than-lethal option for personal protection.

In order to purchase one, you must have a valid Michigan CCW/CPL License - this can take up to 6 months to receive from your local county gun board, so the time to take the class is NOW!!

Sign up for one of our classes using the coupon code: TASER and you’ll receive 10% off our already low tuition price of $99.00!

We have classes available with seating this weekend so don’t delay!

Detroit Arms Excited About Proposed Concealed Carry Law Changes!

Posted on March 25, 2012 by Doreen Hankins

A bill, currently going through the process of approval in Michigan legislature, will potentially allow individuals with concealed weapons permits (CCW/CPL Permits) to carry handguns in many places currently listed in the “no-carry zones” if they get additional handgun training.

The bill that would change parts of the state’s concealed weapons law advances to the Senate floor after winning approval from the Natural Resources, Environment and Great Lakes Committee.

The bill wouldn’t eliminate so-called “no carry” or “pistol-free” zones such as schools, stadiums and churches – however currently licensed CCW/CPL carriers who get an additional nine hours of training beyond what’s already required in state law could get exemptions that would allow them to carry guns in those zones.

Some types of permit holders, such as retired police officers, already can get exemptions that allow them to have a concealed weapon in those zones. These new exemptions are perfect for the “regular citizen” like 98% of Detroit Arms customers!

The bill’s sponsor, Republican Sen. Mike Green of Mayville, said that many multiple-victim shootings occur in gun-free zones by gunmen who have the weapons illegally. Green said “good, honest, law-abiding citizens” ought to have the ability to protect themselves.

The bill would also eliminate county-level concealed weapon licensing boards and move those duties to county sheriff offices. The timeline for processing permit applications likely would shorten under the bill.

This is GREAT NEWS for all of you who have already taken the CCW/CPL Classes we currently offer.

The crew at Detroit Arms is currently working to make sure we are able to offer the additional 9 hours of training our customers will need in order to apply for that exemption qualification.

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

Posted on November 13, 2011 by Doreen Hankins

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.

Are YOU a card carrying Medical Marijuana user?

Posted on October 6, 2011 by Doreen Hankins

In an Open Letter to all Federal Firearms Licensees issued by the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on September 21, 2011, they pointed out that while a number of states have passed legislation allowing under State law the use or possession of marijuana that Federal law prohibits it.

What does this mean?

According to the ATF it means any person who uses or is addicted to marijuana, regardless of whether his or her State has passed legislation authorizing marijuana for medical purposes, is prohibited by Federal law from possessing firearms or ammunition.

So, if you are a card carrying Medical Marijuana user, you must answer “YES” on the ATF Form 4473 and you may not buy a gun or ammunition from ANY GUN STORE in the USA.

Furthermore, if the employees of Detroit Arms are aware that the our potential customer is in possession of a card authorizing the possession and use of marijuana under State law, then we are then required to have “reasonable cause to believe” that this customer is an unlawful user of a controlled substance and, as such, we are prohibited from transferring or selling firearms and/or ammunition to you, even if you have answered “No” to question 11.e on ATF Form 4473.

If you have questions with regard to this, please contact the ATF’s Firearms Industry Programs Branch at 202-648-7190.

Get our new app for your iPhone or iPad!

Posted on January 27, 2011 by Doreen Hankins

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.
