Reality Based Scenarios

We've been given access to a location that we can do a lot of great work in. Here. you'll experience a scenario, interactive skills, and more. Using Airsoft, SIMunitions, or UTM, you'll get to be placed in a setting or situation that will evolve and you can learn how to use the skils you have to react and adjust to the scenario.

Win or lose, this is a unique learning opportunity that you cannot gain elsewhere.

Cost is $10 per run and $5 per additional run.

ALMOST COMPLETE

We ARE resurrecting the NYS Certified unarmed and armed guard training program. We're in the final steps of approval and should be up and running very soon. If you are interested, please let us know and we'll add you to the list! WE EXPECT THIS TO BE UP AND RUNNING BY LATE APRIL/EARLY MAY




The New 18HR NY State Mandated Training Course:

Yes. We are conducting the course. If you or someone you know is starting the process, then this is the course you'll have to complete to apply. Each week, we add another county to the list as a resource.

Right now, we have courses happening in all over NY State.

As of March 1, 2023: Our course completion certificate will be accepted in the following counties: ALL NYC Boroughs (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island) Broome, Cayuga, Chenango, Dutchess, Genesee, Jefferson, Livingston, Madison, Monroe, Onondaga, Ontario, Orange, Orleans, Oswego, Putnam, Seneca, Steuben, Ulster, Wayne, Westchester, Wyoming, and Yates county.

I even have two affiliate instructors who will be teaching using the RPD, LLC curriculum in the Buffalo area.

If you live in WNY towards Buffalo and need to locate someone conducting a highly professional NYS 18hr CCW Pistol license course, contact one of these two guys:

Joe DeAntonis of Ballista Arms at 716-534-3322 Email him at joe@ballistafirearms.com

Greg Bulger of ASG Fitness and Outdoors at 716-650-0196. Email him at asgfitnessandoutdoor@gmail.com

They'll be doing a very well run course and I know they'll do it right. (And they're great guys and well trained!)

I trust them, you can too!


I know you'll shop around but think about this: The typical, casual hobby instructor will not have the background to do this correctly. Here's why: this course requires knowledge in many topics. Safety, Storage, mental health, de-escalation, conflict management, and more. It also requires a lot of equipment as well. This course takes a great deal of work to do correctly. With a course THIS important, you want to find the best. You'll want to come to us.

All of the instructors at RPD, LLC and LionsPride TG have the experience and knowledge to teach this course - and to teach it correctly. No shortcuts. If you want the best, come see us. We were the first to be up and running and we continue to offer the best products you'll find.

One price covers all the classroom material, range fees, handgun use and ammunition. All you have to do is register, attend, complete the course, and you are well on your way!



Please share this email and this link with your friends, co-workers, and neighbors. Let's get everyone trained!









LOTS of training coming up as well. We are loading up the schedule for you! Head over to the new course management site at https://safeinrochester.corsizio.com/ and take a look!

You're safe until you're not. For a lot of people, a comfort level exists because they live in a low crime area or they work at a relatively safe job, etc. I learned a long time ago that denial is a soft fuzzy blanket that we wrap ourselves in - and it's an unsafe state of mind. There are predators among us who will take every opportunity to do whatever it is they want; all they need is the chance. We'll train you to be prepared and stay safe.
