But this is just the beginning of something new. Stay tuned for more details about Altitude Defense Training Center — where we’ll continue providing top-quality training opportunities for gun owners and enthusiasts of all levels. Our Why -

To empower, to believe in, and set individuals up for success in being self-reliant to protect themselves and others through educating, and providing a safe no

n-judgmental environment in the instance of danger or threat. Bringing a service to our customers that helps them realize they are worth defending. Not having an agenda but accepting all who are curious regarding firearms, self-defense, and one's right. We are here to build courage in the individual, because we realize when a person becomes confident and knowledgeable in one area of their life it can't help but begin to fill in the other areas of their life. We are not about firearms alone, but about believing in individuals to believe in themselves.
