Mendo CCW
Serves multiple counties
OUR PROGRAM: Under the authorization of the presiding Sheriffs for Mendocino, and Lake Counties, we provide the necessary training, for RESIDENTS of those counties, seeking to obtain, renew or modify a concealed carry weapons (CCW) permit. The student will be presented with a summary of legal requirements & implications of lawfully carrying a loaded, concealed handgun in public, with emphasis on conflict avoidance, respect for others, responsible gun ownership and safety. We train the student in essential handgun handling and shooting skills, however applicants should have a basic knowledge of their weapon before attending the class. Upon completion of the course, the student should have a clear understanding of California laws pertaining to the use of force and concealed carry of firearms. While directly observed in exercise and course of fire, the student shall demonstrate the ability to safely carry, handle and fire their chosen handgun, through performance in technique and marksmanship. INSTRUCTOR: David Goodman is a United States Marine Veteran, serving as a Combat Marksmanship Instructor where he trained Marines in both rifle and pistol marksmanship. He further refined his skills after graduating from the Advanced Instructor Course to become an Edison Range Primary Marksmanship Instructor, responsible for training recruits at Marine Corps Boot Camp. After his military service, he transitioned into law enforcement training, becoming a certified P.O.S.T. SWAT Sniper, P.O.S.T. Tactical Rifle Instructor, and P.O.S.T. Tactical Handgun Instructor. With over 9 years of experience teaching marksmanship, he brings a deep understanding of firearms, safety, and real-world application to every class he leads. David has dedicated his career to teaching safe, effective, and confident firearms handling. His goal is to help responsible citizens gain the skills, mindset, and legal knowledge necessary to carry with confidence. Four years ago David began teaching CCW classes alongside Ron Prickett, a retired Police Sergeant. Upon his retirement from instruction, Ron passed on Mendo CCW to David to continue the standard of training that Ron built.

It is generally designed for and intended to be a venue for applicants with a basic understanding of shooting and gun handling techniques. To that point, for less experienced persons, preparatory training could prove beneficial, increasing the applicant's confidence and probable success.
