Welcome to Innovative Defensive Solutions, LLC

INNOVATIVE DEFENSIVE SOLUTIONS, LLC, (IDS) focuses on teaching intuitive defensive handgun skills that lend themselves to efficiently handling a firearm in ways that are congruent with the body’s natural reactions under stress. This methodology allows us to better prepare our students for situations where drawing a firearm is a possibility.

Our main objectives are to educate our student base and followers with information that will make themselves and their families/friends safer. While our main focus is concealed carry and defensive handgun training, personal defense is about much more than firearms, it’s about a mindset and a lifestyle. So not only do we offer training for you to become more efficient with your tools but we also provide education and training on general personal defense topics through lectures, seminars, blogs, podcasts, and videos.

Simply put our main goal is to be a resource for you and your family to lead a safer life.

IDS was featured on the Breakthroughs TV Show, on a segment titled, “Gun Safety & the Power to Protect Ourselves” with host Martin Sheen. Check it out below or on our YouTube page.
