Our Training- Texas Guardian Plan
Have a Texas Police Officer teach your educators/employees!
​
Our classes are designed to train and evaluate educators to carry defensive handguns on school campus. We provide the Texas D.P.S. approved training for school districts and teachers. We also include a custom training plan based on your educational needs and environment. During the state-mandated two days of instruction we place students into real-world scenarios and testing. We are certified and use state of the art UTM (Ultimate Training Munitions) non-lethal Man Marker ammunition and converted Glock 17s and Glock 19s to place the student in a situation where they must defend the educational environment against many different aggressors and situations.
​
The four core topics instructed as required by the Texas Department of Public Safety (D.P.S.) are...
-
Protection of Students
-
Interaction of license holders with first responders
-
Tactics for denying an intruder entry into a classroom or school facility
-
Methods for increasing a license holder's accuracy with a handgun while under duress
Upon successful completion of the course, the participant will receive a Texas D.P.S. Proof of Training Form. Completed courses will be then filed with Texas Department of Public Safety as a part of their License to Carry in accordance with Texas Government Code 411.1901.
​
This provides a level of training unsurpassed in Texas. Not only does it give the stakeholders a liability shield against claims, but it gives the administrators a view of the skill level of their employees.

PBS Series Featuring Our Training
On March 20, 2018 the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation aired a report featuring our certification training. They traveled from Canada to film our class held on March 08, 2018. Below is a quote on why they chose us for their report.
"We decided to come to Go Strapped Firearms Training to do our report because the main focus of the academy is teachers and students safety. This is not just an add on but the mission of the academy. We chose Bryan for our report after a search which included training companies throughout the entire United States. Our decision was also based on the fact that Bryan Proctor has the highest qualifications to provide a successful firearm training course."
