MSTS currently offers the following training tracts:
CCW/CWP Training Course: This is an 8 hour course that meets the training requirements needed to apply for your Concealed Weapon Permit through the Cascade County Sheriff’s Office or Lewis & Clark County Sheriff’s Office. The course covers legal aspects, use of force, firearm safety and basic firearm proficiency. There is a test at the end of the course and certificate upon successful completion. Course fee $120 ($110 if already a GFSSC {Great Falls Shooting Sports Complex} member) A $60 deposit is required to reserve a training slot.
NOTE - This is not your typical CCW/CWP course. It is not classroom-only or a class with a few rounds thrown down range just for practice, that then gives you a piece of paper saying you “meets standards”. MSTS can offer a unique point of view and access to information and experience that a lot of trainers cannot offer. We are both firearms instructors - we are both active law enforcement officers with SWAT experience - we are both survivors of deadly force encounters - we are both committed to making sure you leave our class with the training, confidence and competence to win a deadly force encounter if you are ever placed in that situation. You WILL leave our class at a level that “exceeds standards”.
UPDATE (August 2011): Due to changes in the Great Falls Shooting Sports Complex (GFSSC) range policies and assessed fees for private trainers, MSTS will not be conducting classes at the complex. The new rules and fees no longer make this a workable option for our limited use and smaller class sizes. We are currently looking at other ranges and viable options.
If you feel that this decision by the GFSSC Board limits your training choices - contact a board member and let them know.
MSTS is sorry for this difficult decision.
