STRATEGIES AND TACTICS OF DEFENSE

"WE DON'T RISE TO THE LEVEL OF OUR EXPECTATIONS, WE FALL TO THE LEVEL OF OUR TRAINING"

​

ARCHILOCHUS 

Welcome to Integrated Defensive Solutions - one of Idaho's premier firearms training academies.  We exist to serve our families, friends, neighbors, communities, and nation and great Americans like you! 

 

We get it!  You've searched the internet looking for shooting classes, Idaho concealed weapons or more specifically if you live in Ada County, the  Idaho Enhanced Concealed Weapons Permit classes, shooting ranges, and qualified trainers. But, how do you know who to choose, what to look for and, what to expect from your training company?  What type of training should you look for? Should the firearms training have its origins in Law Enforcement, Military, or Competitive shooting? Is one better than another?

​

The answer is - like many things in life, it really depends on your goals.  Our students come from all professions, trades, and background.  Equally, their ultimate goals are at times are diverse as their backgrounds.  However, what's common for most is they are not prior military, or law enforcement, and few have aspirations of competitive shooting.

​

There are several principles from which our training is developed:

 

  1. Education - Students will understand the why equal to the what

  2. Safety - First and foremost in all classes, at all skill levels, at all times

  3. Suitability - The right class for your skill level, interests, and comfort

  4. Realism - Range theatrics are minimized to ensure applicability

  5. Honesty - Honest feedback to ensure you understand current state and readiness

  6. Repeatability - Fewest skills/techniques applied in a many scenarios

​

Our instructors are lifelong firearms enthusiasts and have spent years serving, learning, practicing, training, and being trained by a variety of instructors to include law enforcement, military, professional instructors as well as hold NRA Certifications for training.  From defensive pistol for self defense, concealed carry, enhanced concealed carry or recreation, our firearms classes deliver exception instruction and opportunities to train in a realistic context.

TRUTH IN TRAINING

"Our firearm training prepares students to responsibly, ethically, and effectively carry and if necessary deploy their firearms. The training is challenging, standards are high, not all will pass the first time.
