THE SHOTGUN
When the wolves kick in your door, you don't need a debate—you need dominance. The shotgun is the king of close quarters, a brutal equalizer that turns the hunted into the hunter. But don’t buy into the myths: it’s not a magic wand you can just wave around. If you want to wield this beast right, you need grit, skill, and serious training. At Patriot Training, we forge warriors who can own their ground and send invaders straight to hell.
Home Defense Specialty Class
The shotgun isn’t just a home defense tool — it’s a fight-stopping machine. When things go bump in the night, nothing clears a hallway faster than a properly loaded 12-gauge. It delivers brutal, fight-ending power and demands respect on both ends. The Essential Shotgun Class is here to teach you how to run it like a weapon, not a range toy. Because in a home invasion, hesitation is a liability, and domination is the goal.
Eight pellets of buckshot. One trigger pull at a time. That’s the kind of force multiplier no pistol or rifle can touch in close quarters. The shotgun is cheaper than most defensive firearms, but when used right, it’s pure overkill... and that’s exactly what you want when everything’s on the line. This class will teach you how to load fast, shoot faster, and control the chaos. If you want to turn recoil into results, Essential Shotgun is where you start.
NO PREREQUISITES!

STANDBY
Most Patriot Training classes sell out quickly. However, we frequently have participants who have schedule changes, and cannot make the class they bought for whatever reason. Therefore, we offer a "STANDBY" list. Of course, this does not guarantee you a spot. However, most classes get one or two reschedules - usually the last week right before class.
IF this class sells out, email us and we will put you on standby for the class at no charge. Of course, if a spot opens up, then you will need to act quickly to buy that spot!
REFUND / RESCHEDULE / TRANSFER POLICY
REFUNDS
Patriot Training does NOT offer Refunds.
* Tuition sale is final and is a commitment to train with Patriot Training at the date and time scheduled.
* Tuition paid guarantees your spot in class. Patriot Training does not overbook.
* Your payment secures a spot in a specific class, and nothing more. Patriot Training cannot and does not guarantee individual performance or results. Therefore, failure to pass a course (such as a carry permit evaluation) does not qualify for a refund.
* Patriot Training does not offer refunds, reschedules, or transfers to students who fail to show up for class. If you decide not to attend, that’s your decision.
* This policy is firm and there will be no exceptions.
Why?
- Because if you decide the day before class that you don't like the weather forecast (or insert whatever excuse here), we will not have time to sell that spot to a serious participant that has been turned away.
RESCHEDULE
Cannot make a class and need to reschedule to a future class? You may reschedule for the same class (i.e. Urban Rifleman for Urban Rifleman) in the future for only a $50 processing fee. You must reschedule no later than Thursday at 6:00 pm prior to the start of the class you cannot make. Naturally, there must be a future offering on the schedule, and once you select the date, that date will be locked in. Future reschedules will also require an additional $50 processing fee. CLICK HERE TO RESCHEDULE.
LIMITED TRANSFERS
Can't make the class and want to transfer (give/sell) your spot to someone else?
If you want to transfer, sell, or give your seat to someone else, that’s entirely up to you and is fine by us.
You must notify us no later than Thursday, 6:00 pm, prior.
If that person cannot make it, the same no refund policy applies.
CANCELLATIONS
In the unlikely event Patriot Training is forced to cancel a class, refunds and reschedules will be offered.
Do not bring a pistol grip shotgun without a stock.
Your pistol grip shotgun WITH A STOCK is perfectly fine for this class.
