CCW Safe Sponsors 6th Annual Guardian Conference in Oklahoma City

CCW Safe, a national leader in self-defense legal services, is proud to announce its title sponsorship of the sixth annual Guardian Conference, hosted by concealedcarry.com. Held at the Oklahoma City Gun Club, September 18 - 20, 2026, the 3-day live-fire defensive handgun training event is one of the most influential events in the USA for defensive shooting training.

The event attracts firearms defenders of all skill levels for an intensive, expert-led training experience. Attendees will learn and train critical skills in handguns, trauma care and legal defense from some of the top firearm and self-defense trainers in the nation.

This conference features a comprehensive curriculum covering self-defense, law and medical training. The sessions include live-fire defensive handgun training, situational awareness and post-incident considerations, providing participants with practical skills and knowledge applicable to real-world scenarios.

The CCW Safe team will have a significant presence at this conference, providing education and training on topics such as situational awareness and de-escalation. National Trial Counsel Don West, Assistant Counsel Jennifer Chance and Litigation Consultant Shawn Vincent will lead a class titled "Brandishing, Road Rage, and Front Door Encounters" that examines the three most common ways responsible armed defenders stumble into legal jeopardy — and the mindset that keeps them out of it. Using real video footage of use-of-force incidents, the presenters will explore the legal and critical thinking considerations surrounding self-defense and discuss appropriate responses and potential legal outcomes.

The Guardian Conference provides a platform for firearms defenders to enhance their skills, connect with top instructors, and deepen their confidence as defenders. The event's success year after year underscores the growing demand for comprehensive self-defense training and the importance of community engagement in promoting responsible firearm ownership.
