Why CCW Safe
CCW Safe evolved out of a desire to offer the public the same caring, comprehensive service that police officers receive when they've acted in self-defense in the line of duty. Since 2011, we have worked to extend that care and personal attention to every member who has experienced trauma associated with acting in self-defense to protect themselves and their families.
Your Expert Self-Defense Support Team
Proper Defense is Essential
Innocent people who cannot afford proper defense often end up in jail.
Most people believe that if they are truly innocent in a self-defense incident, they will retain their freedom. Unfortunately, the dollar amount required to defend a deadly force self-defense case would put most people into bankruptcy. CCW Safe ensures that the proper legal defense is at our member's fingertips. They can rest assured knowing that the best legal representation is available to them in their legal self-defense case, avoiding financial ruin and ultimately retaining their freedom.
Right Coverage, Right Expertise
Holistic, expert coverage matters for the worst moment of your life.
When you have had to defend yourself or your family, you've experienced a traumatic event that can impact your life on both personal and professional levels. Knowing that you have a team of experts ready to activate for your defense brings peace of mind and a good night's sleep. We take a holistic approach with our experienced homicide investigators and top legal counsel. These experts will immediately provide their professional insights into your case; additionally, we address the emotional and mental side with added peer support and licensed psychologists for both you and your family.
Care and Personal Attention
We take a personal approach in your self-defense case because we've been there.
Our founder experienced firsthand the aftermath and trauma that can follow a self-defense action. For that reason, he understands what it feels like to experience the very worst moment in your life. With CCW Safe, he's made it his mission to ensure that the right resources and expertise are available to holistically address our members' needs (emotionally, physically and financially) in the event of a self-defense incident. We take a highly personal approach: we treat you just like we would treat a family member who was involved in the same traumatic event.

Our Core Values
The commitment and dedication to our members run deep. The genesis of CCW Safe resulted from our founder's own traumatic self-defense event and its resulting aftermath. Our core values below reinforce that deep desire. We strive to ensure that the general public can experience the same great care and personal attention in the event of a critical force incident that can both personally and professionally impact lives.
Commitment
Simply put: "Do what you say you will." It sounds easy enough, but we have all probably dealt with people or companies that haven't been able to hold up their ends of an agreement. Most of us at CCW Safe have spent 20-plus years serving our communities, our country and our fellow citizens. We believe in a commitment that's solid and based on trust. We will be there when you need us, with an unwavering commitment to walk alongside you after a self-defense event.
Experience
Learning never stops. "Constantly learning" is the foundation of deep experience and competent, qualified expertise. Due to our track records, backgrounds and expertise, CCW Safe has the experience necessary to assist you in the most difficult, stressful time of your life - legally, emotionally and financially.
Leadership
"Be part of the solution." We were very fortunate to have worked under great leaders during our careers. Law enforcement can be a very dynamic and dangerous environment. Observing leaders work in such chaotic scenarios can be very educational, ultimately helping to develop true leadership skills, insight and knowledge. CCW Safe is a leader in this niche within the firearms industry. That's why we surround ourselves with other well-respected leaders, such as Don West, JJ Racaza, Jeff Gonzales and Julie Golub, to name a few.
Dedication
"Never give up!" Sounds easy, huh? Unfortunately, we all know how difficult it can be when things get tough. Because of our life experiences, education and training, we know that abandoning those in need is simply not an option. The right attitude is one of the core values of CCW Safe and of everyone who works here. We're dedicated to servicing the legal, physical and emotional needs of our members during what is probably the most stressful time of their lives.
Caring
"We're all in this together." This is meaningful now more than ever before. With the current political climate and social biases many in our society have against guns and the use of physical and deadly force, CCW Safe has created a movement of like-minded people. These like-minded people will help give you the confidence you need to stand up for yourself - and even more importantly, for what is right. We deliver a standard of care for our members that is based on true experience. We understand the trauma of a self-defense incident. We address our members' needs holistically so they can pick up the pieces and continue on with their lives.
