WHAT PEOPLE SAY
“Dave Shaw is passionate about SDS Tactical and even more so about his client's safety. As someone, who's never even held a gun before, he quickly made me feel comfortable. Dave is also an excellent communicator which is an essential trait for an effective instructor. After taking his defensive pistol courses, I feel much more confident about handling and using a gun.”
— Inda Reid, Director
Qualifying isn’t training — we teach you the difference.
Train Beyond the Minimum.
Most CCW classes only teach you how to “qualify” — stand in line, shoot at paper, and get signed off.
At RTBALA, we prepare you for the real world.
Our LAPD & LA County Sheriff–approved CCW training combines classroom learning, hands-on role-playing drills, and live-fire from concealment. You’ll practice decision-making under stress, using cover, and even learn basic trauma care.
📅 Next Class: Sept 27–28, 2025 & Oct. 25-26 | Burbank + Santa Clarita
💵 $625 Initial | $375 Renewal | No extra fees for extra guns
You won’t just leave with a permit. You’ll leave with skills that save lives.
Don’t just pass. Prepare.
