About Solidarity Defense

At Solidarity Defense, we believe in respectful and competent firearms education and community building.

Our mission is simple: help regular folks become safer, more confident, and more capable defenders of themselves, their families, and their communities.

We provide professional, kind, and respectful firearms instruction throughout California. We offer Sacramento County CCW classes, whether that is the 16-hour Initial CCW Class or the 8-hour CCW Renewal.

We specialize in defensive pistol skills and community defense classes. Our classes focus on practical skills development and on navigating the barriers and challenges to obtaining a CCW in California.

Firearms isn’t and end-all-be-all either. We emphasize in every class the need for medical responses blending our certified ‘Stop-The-Bleed’ courses and materials into every class.

We provide California CCW certification courses and firearms instruction for students throughout the greater Sacramento area.

Our training offerings include:

• Sacramento County CCW courses

• Yolo County CCW courses

• Placer County CCW courses

• Yuba County CCW Courses

• Defensive pistol training

• Beginner handgun instruction

• Movement and defensive shooting courses

• Private instruction

• Continuing education and skill progression classes

• Stop-The-Bleed classes

Our curriculum emphasizes safety, respect, and responsible firearms ownership.
