  CCW SKILLS CLINIC

  This is an advanced Clinic for EDC that are training with frequency. This is NOT a beginner Clinic. All stages and scenarios in this module are live fire. There is no Force-on-Force training in this Module.

  This clinic is built specifically for valid EDC Club Members that actually carry everyday, to provide training using practical “real-life” scenario-based stages, and drill-oriented EDC skill building modules, thematically built upon the AVOID EVADE DEFEND concepts of smart EDC. 
  

  If you are new to CCW and or EDC training, it is required that you enroll in the Beginner Defensive Handgun class on the 2nd Friday of the month with Shoot Master Stan Luhr before you advance to the CCW Skills Clinic. Registration for the DHG Class is required with Stan @ 619 890 5404 or sluhr@ppcexpert.com.

  Pre-registration with the CCW Clinic Shoot Master is required. A current CA, valid CCW license, must be presented to attend CCW SC. The firearm used must be on the license. THE SIG P320 and its variants MAY NOT BE USED IN THIS CLINIC. Firearm and license check are mandatory, prestart to participate. An appropriate sturdy gun belt with IWB holster, preferably Kydex and two magazines will be needed. All draw work is from concealed Appendix Inside Waist Band. No other carry positions are allowed. Round count variable. Estimate one hundred plus per event.

  Cost per event per member $20. Non-member guests, including prospects, not allowed. Not open to the public.

  New participant orientation, firearm and license check begins at 1:15 pm SHARP to align safety protocols and assess dry fire draw skill and safe gun handling skill from concealed, culminating in an abbreviated basic marksmanship live fire from concealed. You must pass the Basic Standard timed live fire draw to first shot at 3 yards, USPSA A Zone hit, in less than 1.80 seconds to qualify for the Clinic. The remaining time of the first 30 minutes will be to set the range for that specific clinics course(s) of fire, for the Module. Prior club member participants begin the clinic thereafter, with a Safety Brief at 1:45 pm.

  If you are late for the New Participant Orientation or to the1:45 Safety Brief or arrive without being pre-registered for the Clinic you will be unable to participate.

  Friends of NRA Gun-A-Palooza!

  To purchase tickets, please register HERE

  
  

  San Diego Gun‑A‑Palooza is almost here, and this year is going to be BIG! Mark your calendar for October 27, 2026, because we’re taking over BNS in Santee (right off the 67 freeway, right by the old Santee Drive‑In entrance!) for an evening packed with fun, prizes, and great company.

  Doors open at 4 PM — and guess what?
  You won’t have to cook that night! BNS has you covered with great food and drinks to purchase, both alcoholic and non‑alcoholic, so bring your appetite and give your kitchen the night off. The $20 fee covers entry to the event only; food and drinks must be purchased separately directly from BNS.

  Here’s what you can look forward to:

  Tons of games
  

  • Awesome prizes
  • Silent auctions
  • A chance to win LOTS OF GUNS — seriously!

  For every 3 tickets we sell online before the event, we get to add ANOTHER gun to the prize lineup. So, buying early doesn’t just save your spot, it helps everyone win big!

  Entry fee is just $20, and we’re really pushing online ticket sales ahead of time. The sooner we reach our sales goals, the more incredible this event becomes.

  And here’s something we’re proud of:
  The NRA is one of our grant sponsors, and thanks to their support, we receive four grants each year. Every dollar raised at Gun‑A‑Palooza stays right here in Southern California, funding programs that make a real impact — like our Women’s Shooting Clinic, Youth Trap, NRA Day, and Boy Scouts. When you buy a ticket, you’re directly helping these initiatives thrive.

  So, grab your tickets, grab your friends, and get ready for a fantastic evening supporting programs that truly matter to our community.

  Let’s sell these tickets NOW and make this the best Gun‑A‑Palooza yet!
  See you October 27th at BNS!

  2. Shoot as many different types of these guns as possible.
  3. Get as much range time in as you can, either at our range or anywhere else and practice with your rifle getting 4 inch or smaller groups at 25 yards.

  Personal / Family Defense Decision Making Scenarios - Test your decision making skills in realistic situations involving other students.

  Members-$30 Individual/$50 Family  Non-members: $60 Individual/$100 Family.

  When signing up each adult needs to be registered separately, children (17 and under) do not need to be registered. Payment will be collected via cash or Zelle upon arrival.

  Contact Dave Reed at davereed2010@gmail.com with any questions.

  Personal defense preparation is far more than going to the range and shooting at paper targets. This seminar will put you, and any family members you bring with you, in realistic scenarios where you will have to decide what your best option is, whether you carry a gun or not. Can I walk away? Is pepper spray an option? If I must use my gun what actions should my family take? If I'm not alone what are each individual's responsibilities in a defensive situation? If I don't carry a gun what options do I have?

  Family guidelines for the class - If you have kids, parents, physically/mentally challenged people in your daily life you need to be able to protect them, bad things can happen anywhere at anytime. Including them in the class brings a whole new set of concerns to your response to a critical situation. All ages and abilities are welcome. If they get too disruptive I may ask you to take them outside long enough to calm them down, but you will still get a huge benefit from the class. During scenarios where you are the citizen defender you will have to deal with it, just like you would in a real life scenario. I think that makes the training even more effective for your day to day life, as these are things you will have to work around to stay safe.

  Every family member residing in the same household is welcome at the family price. Kids need to be able to be fairly quiet for 20-30 minutes at a time. Obviously if someone needs to step away to take care of the little ones that is perfectly acceptable.

  We have a lift for wheelchairs to get into the classroom. It will be a challenge moving around in the parking area due to gravel, I will assist you in any way possible. 

  We will be using a combination of red guns. shot indication laser pistols, inert pepper spray (water), training medical supplies and other tools during decision making scenarios run against other students. None of our training aids fire any type of projectile, so you don't need to worry about anyone getting hurt from that. 

  DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS ABSOLUTELY NO SELF DEFENSE TOOLS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO KNIVES, GUNS, PEPPER SPRAY, TASERS, STUN GUNS, KUBATONS, ETC. ALLOWED IN THE VICINITY OF THE CLASS. YOU WILL BE PATTED DOWN BY A MINIMUM OF TWO PEOPLE PRIOR TO PARTICIPATION IN THIS CLASS

  This is a serious class based on realistic real world scenarios, not a first person shooter game trying to see who can shoot first, fastest or most number of rounds. The best outcome you can hope for is that you do not have to draw your training firearm at all.

  Check-in and course set up 5:00 to 5:15

  If you are a first time participant and miss the safety meeting you will not shoot!

  If you cannot stay until 9 p.m. to help clean up you must arrive early to help set up!  No free-baggers.

  This clinic is for beginner shooters to learn the fundamentals of proper and safe hand gun use. We will train at the pace of the most inexperienced shooter, to maintain safety but will often break the group up to allow more challenging drills for experienced shooters.

  Seasoned shooters will also benefit by tuning up new skills and breaking bad habits to encourage safe, confident and quick shooting from the outside waistband holster.  CCW permit holders may only shoot concealed after the first beginner class and only when approved by the RSO prior to shooting.

  Please arrive before 5:00 if you need assistance with your gun, holster or basic firearm manipulation. You must have your own full sized hand gun (barrel length 4 inches or more), outside waistband hard sided holster that covers the trigger guard, min. 2 magazines or speed loaders, 100-200 rounds of lead ammo (no steel), hat, safety glasses, and electronic earphones are mandatory--no exceptions.

  If you are a first time participant and miss the safety meeting you will not shoot!

  If you cannot stay until 9 p.m. to help clean up you must arrive early to help set up!  No free-baggers.

  This clinic is for beginner shooters to learn the fundamentals of proper and safe hand gun use. We will train at the pace of the most inexperienced shooter, to maintain safety but will often break the group up to allow more challenging drills for experienced shooters.

  Seasoned shooters will also benefit by tuning up new skills and breaking bad habits to encourage safe, confident and quick shooting from the outside waistband holster.  CCW permit holders may only shoot concealed after the first beginner class and only when approved by the RSO prior to shooting.

  Please arrive before 5:00 if you need assistance with your gun, holster or basic firearm manipulation. You must have your own full sized hand gun (barrel length 4 inches or more), outside waistband hard sided holster that covers the trigger guard, min. 2 magazines or speed loaders, 100-200 rounds of lead ammo (no steel), hat, safety glasses, and electronic earphones are mandatory--no exceptions.

  Costs: Cash only and exact change preferred 

  Members: $5

  Non Members: $25

  ADVANCED REGISTRATION REQUIRED OR YOU MAY NOT PARTICIPATE!

  Don’t wait until the last minute!

  Please RSVP so we can plan for food and workforce needs

  Thank you for supporting the club!

  NMA & Ten Percent Program Reminder

  Per the club’s SOP, Regular and Senior members are required to complete a Non-Monetary Assessment (NMA) each fiscal year. This includes:

  • 8 hours of volunteer service, which can be met by:
    • Attending two work parties, OR
    • Attending one work party + volunteering at a club event

  Members age 65+ may substitute by supporting three club events instead.

  Our club is 100% volunteer-run—there are no paid staff—and your participation helps us maintain, improve, and operate while keeping membership costs low. The goal isn’t to create a burden, but to encourage shared responsibility and involvement.

  If needed, members may choose to opt out of the NMA by paying a $150 exemption fee, now available at any time during the year.

  Ten Percent Program

  The Ten Percent Program recognizes members who go above and beyond:

  • Complete 4 additional NMA activities (work parties or events)
  • Track participation using your green Ten Percent card (or have a Shoot Master verify)
  • Earn a special reward from the Board at the end of the fiscal year

  Cards Reminder:

  • Orange NMA cards and green Ten Percent cards are available in the sign-up shack if you need replacements. After your cards are complete, please email a copy to membership@lgrgc.com.

  We appreciate everyone who steps up to support the Lemon Grove Rod & Gun Club—your time and effort make all the difference!

  Personal / Family Defense Decision Making Scenarios - Test your decision making skills in realistic situations involving other students.

  Members-$30 Individual/$50 Family  Non-members: $60 Individual/$100 Family.

  When signing up each adult needs to be registered separately, children (17 and under) do not need to be registered. Payment will be collected via cash or Zelle upon arrival.

  Contact Dave Reed at davereed2010@gmail.com with any questions.

  Personal defense preparation is far more than going to the range and shooting at paper targets. This seminar will put you, and any family members you bring with you, in realistic scenarios where you will have to decide what your best option is, whether you carry a gun or not. Can I walk away? Is pepper spray an option? If I must use my gun what actions should my family take? If I'm not alone what are each individual's responsibilities in a defensive situation? If I don't carry a gun what options do I have?

  Family guidelines for the class - If you have kids, parents, physically/mentally challenged people in your daily life you need to be able to protect them, bad things can happen anywhere at anytime. Including them in the class brings a whole new set of concerns to your response to a critical situation. All ages and abilities are welcome. If they get too disruptive I may ask you to take them outside long enough to calm them down, but you will still get a huge benefit from the class. During scenarios where you are the citizen defender you will have to deal with it, just like you would in a real life scenario. I think that makes the training even more effective for your day to day life, as these are things you will have to work around to stay safe.

  Every family member residing in the same household is welcome at the family price. Kids need to be able to be fairly quiet for 20-30 minutes at a time. Obviously if someone needs to step away to take care of the little ones that is perfectly acceptable.

  We have a lift for wheelchairs to get into the classroom. It will be a challenge moving around in the parking area due to gravel, I will assist you in any way possible. 

  We will be using a combination of red guns. shot indication laser pistols, inert pepper spray (water), training medical supplies and other tools during decision making scenarios run against other students. None of our training aids fire any type of projectile, so you don't need to worry about anyone getting hurt from that. 

  DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS ABSOLUTELY NO SELF DEFENSE TOOLS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO KNIVES, GUNS, PEPPER SPRAY, TASERS, STUN GUNS, KUBATONS, ETC. ALLOWED IN THE VICINITY OF THE CLASS. YOU WILL BE PATTED DOWN BY A MINIMUM OF TWO PEOPLE PRIOR TO PARTICIPATION IN THIS CLASS

  This is a serious class based on realistic real world scenarios, not a first person shooter game trying to see who can shoot first, fastest or most number of rounds. The best outcome you can hope for is that you do not have to draw your training firearm at all.

  Pepper Spray (OC Spray) / Less Lethal Seminar

  Cost $50 for members, $90 for non-members. Cash only in class. 

  This seminar will cover the legal, moral and ethical aspects of using pepper spray as part of your personal defense plan.  A firearm is only to be used as a tool of last resort, OC Spray is a more appropriate tool to use the vast majority of the time. You need to have something between a dirty look and a gun to keep yourself safe. As a concealed carrier I don't like leaving my house without a gun, I won't leave my house without OC spray.
  We will be going through basic scenarios and using INERT (water) spray on each other in the seminar to practice how to effectively employ the stream if needed. 

  We will be discussing other less lethal tools and their pros and cons as well.

  Each participant will receive one inert can of spray for practice and one can of active pepper spray to use for defense after the class.

  This seminar is appropriate for everyone, including you!
