Why Guns For Everyone National is the Best Place for Defensive Shooting

When it comes to defensive shooting, the quality of your training can make all the difference in how effeciently you respond to a life-threatening situation. At Guns For Everyone National, we provide the most practical, efficient, and reality-based defensive shooting training available. We use the Intuitive Defensive Shooting (IDS) program, developed by I.C.E. Training Company, to ensure our students gain real-world applicable skills that are grounded in how the human body naturally reacts under stress.

What Sets Us Apart?

Unlike traditional marksmanship or static shooting drills, defensive shooting requires a different mindset and approach. It’s not about choreographed, precision shooting at paper targets under perfect conditions. Instead, it’s about training your body and mind to respond intuitavely, efficiently, and instinctively when faced with a sudden threat.

Guns For Everyone National stands out for several key reasons:
✅ Reality-Based Training – Our curriculum is built around how people actually respond in self-defense situations. We focus on natural human reactions, ensuring that your training aligns with what your body will do under real stress.
✅ Intuitive Defensive Shooting (IDS) Methodology – Developed by I.C.E. Training Company, IDS is a scientifically tested system that prioritizes efficient, natural movement and rapid response to threats.
✅ Accessible for All Skill Levels – Whether you’re a new shooter or have years of experience, IDS is designed to work with your body’s instinctive reactions, making it an effective training method for everyone.
✅ Certified, Experienced Instructors – Our instructors are highly trained in defensive firearms tactics and have extensive experience in real-world defensive scenarios.
✅ Critical Thinking & Decision-Making – Defensive shooting isn’t just about pulling the trigger; it’s about knowing when and how to act, assessing threats, and making split-second decisions under pressure.
✅ Legal & Ethical Responsibility – We emphasize understanding the law, responsible gun ownership, and the ethical considerations of using a firearm in self-defense.

What is Intuitive Defensive Shooting (IDS)?

The Intuitive Defensive Shooting program is a progressive training system designed to build automated, efficient responses for real-world self-defense situations. IDS isn’t about rigid, overly complex techniques that fall apart under stress. Instead, it is a scientifically backed method that works with your body’s natural reactions.

In a life-threatening situation, your brain and body will react instinctively—our training capitalizes on these natural responses, reinforcing the most effective and efficient actions. Through dynamic shooting drills, movement-based exercises, and high-stress scenario training, IDS teaches you how to respond decisively, accurately, and quickly when seconds count.

Why IDS is Better Than Traditional Shooting Courses

Many shooting courses focus on static range drills, where students stand still and fire in a choreographed setting. While this can help develop basic marksmanship, it doesn’t prepare you for the chaotic, fast-paced nature of a real-life violent encounter.

The Intuitive Defensive Shooting program shifts the focus from perfection to efficiency—because in a self-defense scenario, you don’t have time to aim for pinpoint accuracy. Instead, you need to be able to present your firearm quickly, shoot effectively, and move in a way that keeps you safe.

IDS emphasizes:
🔹 Shooting in realistic defensive scenarios – learning to move, shoot, and assess threats dynamically.
🔹 Training under stress – understanding how adrenaline affects your body and how to fight through the effects to stay in control.
🔹 Engaging threats at realistic distances – most self-defense shootings happen at 9-15 feet, not from 25 yards away on a shooting range.
🔹 Efficient movement and shooting techniques – learning to balance accuracy and speed while maintaining defensive awareness.

Who Should Train with Us?

Our courses are designed for anyone who carries a firearm for self-defense or wants to be prepared for real-world threats. Whether you’re a:

  • First-time gun owner looking for the right training foundation
  • Concealed carrier who wants to improve real-world defensive skills
  • Law enforcement officer or security professional seeking an edge in high-stress encounters
  • Experienced shooter who wants to move beyond traditional target shooting and train for practical defensive applications

We welcome everyone who values high-quality defensive firearms training and believes in the importance of self-protection.
