EDC FOUNDATIONS 1 - PRELUDE TO THE PERMIT

Building Safe, Confident, Responsible Handgun Owners From Day One. EDC Foundations Level 1 is the starting point for every new or developing handgun owner. This class establishes the essential safety principles, handling skills, and foundational marksmanship techniques required before pursuing a carry permit or advancing into defensive training. Students learn how to safely operate their handgun, understand their equipment, and build the confidence needed to progress through the EDC Foundations Program. Level 1 is intentionally structured, approachable, and designed to eliminate fear, uncertainty, and hesitation. To make training accessible for all students, handgun rental and 50 rounds of ammunition are included in the cost of the class, ensuring that even those who do not yet own a firearm can participate fully.
