General Info

Survive the Encounter was created to provide detailed training for the person looking for more than the average concealed firearm permit class. The classes we provide will safely teach you with training equipment and real-life skills needed to win in encounters. You need to practice all the skills at a lifesaving pace and conduct repetitious â??what ifâ?? scenarios in your mind to mentally prepare. Rick Niles, the instructor at Survive the Encounter, has 25 years of firearms and response tactics instructional experience at the federal law enforcement level. He has trained nearly exclusively on the deployment of handguns from concealed carry situations and is a certified U.S. Concealed Carry Association concealed carry instructor.
