Who we are:

An association of firearms competitors and instructors who work with other shooters and non-shooters to train
others in competitive shooting skills as well as self-defense techniques.

Founded in Colorado, DeHLTA offers classes in Concealed Carry, Tactical Firearms usage,
Security Officer Training as well as offering proficiency courses for those with concealed carry permits.


For anyone who carries a firearm,
whether it is for competitive sport shooting or self-defense,
proper training is essential.

For those who are looking to carry for self-defense purposes --
Proper training will help reduce your criminal and civil liabilities
if you are ever involved in a situation where you are forced to use your weapon.

The legalities of when you are justified in using a firearm in defense or yourself or others
should be something every firearms owner knows and stays up to date on.
