Why Pugh? Why now?
We have specialized in Active Shooter Training since 2015. Run, Hide, Fight is not your best defense and can leave you in a vulnerable position. Our real-world scenario training will demonstrate the difference between traditional techniques and ours. You will assess your confidence level in handling an active situation at the beginning, and at the conclusion of our training. If you feel you have not increased your ability to handle an active situation, we will work with you individually until you reach that level or your money back.
