Participants will engage in fast-paced\, decision-based scenarios that replicate real-world encounters\, where hesitation or poor choices can have serious consequences. \nUtilizing our MILO Simulation Range\, you’ll face dynamic situations such as home intrusions\, public threats\, and active shooter events. After each scenario\, instructors will provide detailed feedback and analysis to sharpen your thinking\, improve your reactions\, and refine your ability to act lawfully and decisively. \nWhat You’ll Experience:\n– Live-action\, decision-making scenarios\n– Use-of-force evaluations in high-stress environments\n– Ethical and legal considerations of firearm use\n– Individual performance debrief and instructor coaching \nWho Should Attend:\nConcealed carriers\, constitutional carriers\, security team members\, or responsible citizens. \nRequired:\nClosed-toe shoes and comfortable clothing.\n\nUnarmed Self-Defense Class \nSingle Class Price (25% off): $22.46 \nBundle Price (45% off): $16.47 \nDate: Thursday\, August 7 \nTime: 6:00–8:00 PM \nSkill Level: Beginner to Intermediate \nAge Requirement: 16+ \nAt a distance of 7 to 10 feet\, you may have only one second to act.

SUMMARY:Free Forum: Constitutional Carry—What Does It Actually Mean?
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, July 24Time: 6:00–8:00 PMLocation: Hot Shots Shooting CenterCost: Free and open to the publicPre-registration is suggested and appreciated\, but walk-ins are welcome. \n\nOhio allows you to carry a firearm without a permit—but do you fully understand what that means? \nThe laws around Constitutional Carry can be vague and ambiguous\, leaving many gun owners vulnerable to legal trouble they never intended. One wrong assumption could lead to felony prosecution. \nJoin Master Instructor JJ Bittinger for a live educational forum that breaks down the real differences between Ohio’s Constitutional Carry law and obtaining a Concealed Handgun License (CHL). He’ll also cover: \n\n\nWhat the law actually allows—and where it stops \n\n\nHow to avoid common legal pitfalls \n\n\nThe responsibilities that come with carrying a firearm \n\n\nWhat it means to be truly prepared\, not just legally armed \n\n\nJJ will take your questions live and offer clear\, practical insights for every level of experience. \nAt Hot Shots Shooting Center\, we proudly support the Second Amendment and your right to carry. We also believe in responsible gun ownership—and that starts with being informed and prepared. \nOur mission is to help you protect yourself and others—and be truly ready to save lives when it matters most.We’re not just here to teach—we’re here to make sure you’re ready. \nFeel free to bring a guest. We look forward to seeing you there.
