Our Story

One Of America's Fastest-Growing Live Gun Training Companies — Now Within Reach Of Every Gun Owner In America

Patriot Training Center was founded by Caleb Lee — a regular civilian, not a former operator. More than thirteen years ago, he made the decision to take protecting his family seriously, and spent the next decade training under the country's most elite instructors — earning instructor certifications from the NRA, USCCA, and Rangemaster (Master level) along the way. Then he took everything he learned and designed the best live defensive training curriculum available — designed specifically for the unique needs of the civilian defender — when he founded Patriot Training Center in Talladega, Alabama. Live gun training is all we do — and it's made us one of the fastest-growing dedicated training companies in the country.

Now we've expanded online — with a hybrid approach no other gun training company in America offers. Start training digitally at home tonight. Come out every 6 months and take a live course with us, FREE! And between visits, get personalized coaching built on your real results — on our live monthly Zoom calls and in the members' community, with our instructors and your fellow students — so you show up to your next live course ready to level up again.

And because real preparedness doesn't end at the range, we've partnered with Right To Bear — the fastest-growing self-defense legal protection association in America — so the fight after the fight is handled, too.

Instructor Certifications

Real, verifiable credentials earned the hard way: certified instructor through the NRA and USCCA, and Rangemaster certified at the Master level.

Real students. Real range. Real results.

How It Works

The Hybrid Training Loop

No other gun training company in America can run this play. Here's how your membership works:

1

Join today — start training tonight.

The moment you join, the full digital course library, monthly coaching calls, and private community unlock — and your legal protection goes active.*

2

Train live with us — FOR FREE — every 6 months.

Come out to the Patriot Training Center in Alabama and take any full live course, FREE: your choice of 2-Day or 4-Day, Pistol through Rifle. Equipment rental included — and your performance is tracked and scored, so you leave knowing exactly where you stand.

3

Level up between visits — with coaching built on your real results.

This isn't a certificate and a handshake. We track your actual performance — strengths, weaknesses, scores — and you leave every course with a personal plan to improve. Monthly live Zoom coaching and everyday community feedback, from our instructors and your fellow students, keep working that plan with you until your next visit.

4

Repeat — for as long as you're a member.

Digital reps at home. Live courses on the range. Coaching in between. That's the hybrid loop — and it compounds every 6 months.

Why can't anyone else offer this? Because other programs don't own a training facility. They certify scattered third-party instructors and leave you to go find one — and quality changes with every zip code. Every PTC course happens on our own range, taught by our own cadre, to one standard. That's what makes a true all-in-one possible.

The Full Picture

Every Gun Owner Faces Two Fights.

Everything you just saw — the courses, the coaching, the free live training — prepares you to win the first one. But being truly protected means preparing for what comes after, too.

Fight Nº 1

The Gunfight

A defensive encounter is fast, close, and unforgiving. Owning a piano doesn't make you ready for Carnegie Hall — and owning a pistol doesn't make you ready for the worst three seconds of your life. In our live classes we see the same gaps every weekend: fumbled draws, uncleared malfunctions, misses under stress.

This is the fight your PTC University membership trains you to win — at home, on the range, and everywhere in between.
Fight Nº 2

The Legal Fight

Even a 100% justified defensive shooting can put you in a courtroom. Very few gun owners have a plan for the fight after the fight — and it can be the more expensive of the two.

A criminal defense typically starts at $40,000–$100,000. If it goes to trial, costs can climb past $200,000–$300,000.
Member Bonus · $1,400+ value

The Benefit No One Else In America Offers: Your Instructor As Your Expert Witness

Here's why nobody can match this: PTC University is the only hybrid digital + live training system in America. You could join any legal-protection program in the country — but none of them can put an expert on the stand who has personally trained you, because they never have.

Attend your first live course with us, and your PTC instructor becomes your personal expert witness — with first-hand knowledge of your training, skill, temperament, and discipline. If you're ever forced to defend yourself and it goes to court, that testimony is worth its weight in gold.

Unlocked after your first live training course. Yours for life.

Student Reviews

What Our Students Say

★★★★★

“These instructors were top notch. I'd only ever fired a .22 to qualify for my permit — and I shot 84% on the final range test. A little magic.”

James CarterPennsylvania · age 76 · complete beginner
★★★★★

“My wife was very much against holding a firearm. We drove over 10 hours — and she left an appreciative and proud firearm owner. What you have given to my wife Debbie and I is priceless.”

Frank JohnsonMaryland
★★★★★

“I came in nervous and overwhelmed as a brand-new concealed carrier. I left with a deep sense of confidence and clarity.”

AlexVirginia
★★★★★

“I flew in with my 77-year-old father and my wife — three generations training together. EVERY BIT WORTH THE TRIP from Arizona.”

Russ MillerArizona
★★★★★

“Zero prior experience, traveled from California. I went from nervous to confident in a fun, SAFE manner.”

“I thought I was prepared. Now I actually have the training and knowledge to keep my family safe.”

An Honest Word

Who PTC University Is For — And Who It Isn't

PTC University is for you if…

  • You own a gun but aren't certain you're actually ready to use it under stress
  • You've been meaning to get real training and haven't started yet
  • You want structured, professional instruction on your own schedule
  • You'd love to train live in Alabama — now or down the road
  • You're confused by legal-protection tiers and just want it handled
  • You want training and legal protection in one membership

It's probably not for you if…

  • You believe owning a gun by itself makes you prepared
  • You only want the cheapest possible legal coverage
  • You think random YouTube videos count as training
  • You're not serious about genuine preparedness

Ready For Both Fights?

Join PTC University today and every benefit — the courses, the coaching, the community, and legal protection for you and your spouse* — is active before you finish your coffee.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Isn't $99/month a lot for online training?
It would be — if this were only online training. Your membership also includes a free live course at the Patriot Training Center every 6 months ($1,500–$2,500 value each), monthly live coaching, legal protection for two people, and the expert-witness benefit. Purchased separately, those cost far more than the membership itself.
I already have USCCA or another legal-protection program. Why switch?
Three reasons: when you call Right To Bear, a real attorney answers immediately — with attorney-client privilege from the first second, not a recorded call center. Coverage is one flat membership with no tiers, and only two claims have ever been denied in company history. And no other provider on earth can offer your own PTC instructor as a personal expert witness.
Will this work if I don't have my concealed-carry permit yet?
Yes. The skills we teach apply whether you have a permit, are working toward one, or live in a constitutional-carry state.
What if I can't make it to Alabama for the live training?
The digital library, monthly coaching, community, and legal protection are worth the membership on their own. Your free live training is there whenever you're ready — and members regularly tell us the trip was “every bit worth it,” even from as far as Arizona and California.
How is this different from free YouTube videos?
YouTube is fragmented and random — there's no progression. PTC University is a structured curriculum built from our complete 2-day and 4-day live courses, with assessment, habit correction, and live instructors checking your technique every month.
I'm an experienced shooter. Do I really need this?
Experienced shooters often carry bad habits from years of unsupervised practice — our curriculum is built to find and fix them. And the legal protection and expert-witness benefits matter no matter how well you shoot.
If I cancel, do I lose the legal coverage?
Yes — coverage is active only while your membership is active. At $3.30 a day for 24/7 attorney protection covering two people, most members consider it the easiest bill they pay.
Is my spouse really covered automatically?
Yes, from day one — at home, on your property, in your car, hotel, or tent. No extra charge, no separate signup.
Can I add my kids to the legal protection?
Yes — minor children can be added for $4/month or $35/year per child.
What states are covered?
All 50 states and U.S. territories from day one, with no state-specific upgrades. One exception: New York, New Jersey, and Washington have laws that block their residents from buying self-defense legal protection from any provider. If that's you, we double your free live-training benefit instead — see our note to members in those states. And members are covered while traveling through those states.
