Introducing 3 SECONDS FROM NOW
The Most Ambitious, Engaging, 
Valuable Mental CCW Training Tool Yet.
From Patrick Kilchermann 
founder of the Concealed Carry University.
Hello my fellow Guardian: Buckle up and get ready to go dynamic! 

I'm thrilled to bring you the first installment of my breakthrough series, and even more thrilled for the potential it has to bring fundamental change into your abilities as a protector and provider. 
"The most engaging, beneficial, and entertaining way to learn armed self-defense that I've ever seen."
But the 3 SECONDS FROM NOW series goes far, far beyond simply being an educational or training tool.... 

It's true that we take some of the most stunning armed-defense encounters ever caught on tape, and re-create them inside the Sim Arena.
And it's true that we slow them down so that we can bring you INSIDE the action, where your senses are acclimated and where the most valuable wisdom can be extracted for your benefit....

But believe it or not - that's not where the real 'magic' of the 3 SECONDS FROM NOW experience lies...

Here's the real magic:
There is one insurmountable difference between we good guys and the violent attackers who we are likely to face in armed-defense.... care to guess what it is? 
Raw Experience.
Indeed: even though an armed-encounter is virtually guaranteed to be your 'first time', statistics show that it absolutely will NOT be the first time for the violent criminal you're facing.

And make no mistake.... 

The value of experience cannot be overstated. In fact, some experts in the field suggest that a 'thimble of Experience far outweighs even a bucket full of razor sharp, well-honed, laser-precise SKILL.' 
"The criminal you have to face is virtually guaranteed to be a Violence Veteran."
Experience over skill... military studies, too, show us that even comparatively poorly-trained soldiers who survive their first 10 days in combat have astronomically better odds of surviving their next 30 days in combat compared to special forces soldiers starting off on day 1. 

In fact, testimony of soldiers through the ages reveal a shocking pattern where "Replacement soldiers" are seen as being so doomed by their veteran counter-parts that most seasoned soldiers don't even bother learning their names until they've been around for a couple weeks...

Ask these soldiers and, in their own words, they'll offer you a glimpse of the value of Experience:

  • People with Experience seem to know what to do and when to do it when their lives are threatened.
  • ​People with Experience seem to have a sixth sense for danger.
  • ​People with Experience seem to be able to predict the movements and reactions of their threats.
  • ​People with Experience are confident in the face of danger.
  • ​They don't lock up or freeze the way 'first timers' do.
  • Because of all this... People with Experience SURVIVE and WIN. 
I also see this reality play out again and again in the Sim area, where we rebuild gunfight scenarios and throw people into them.
It almost doesn't even matter how smooth or fluid someone is with their draw-stroke or how much they've learned with regards to concealed carry and armed-defense....
Put them against someone who has been through even just 3 or 5 scenarios before them.... whose sixth-senses have learned WHAT IT'S LIKE and WHAT TO EXPECT... and the EXPERIENCED NEWBIE USUALLY BEATS THE SKILLED FIRST-TIMER time and time again!
"I COULDN'T IGNORE THIS AND DO NOTHING."
When I saw the way our nation's police officers and armed private citizens were getting chewed up by criminals with crappy guns and who have never practiced their draws and who have never visited a target range in their lives....

....all because of how much EXPERIENCE those criminals had above and beyond the average cop and private citizen.... 
.....I KNEW SOMETHING HAD TO CHANGE.
We had to have a better way to prepare. We have to COUPLE the brilliant education we're capable of giving an armed guardian WITH battle-tested experience. 

I knew that if we could pull this off, the life-saving results would be off the charts.

Sure enough.... they are. LOOK BELOW, now and see what I've built for you, so that you can become a VETERAN...
...SO THAT YOUR FIRST 
VIOLENT ENCOUNTER WILL FEEL LIKE YOUR 50th.
If you are like me and already know you WANT this program, immediately below this you'll have the opportunity to get it.

But if you want to read more about the Philosophy, Strategy and Tactics of this series, then just keep reading below that and you'll see how good of a fit this series is for you.

It is my goal that every single one of my CCU Guardians embarks upon this mission with me. I believe you will absolutely love this 3 SECONDS FROM NOW experience.

3 SECONDS FROM NOW:
Your #1 Resource For Developing and Advancing Your Survival Abilities & Raw Efficacy as a Responsibly-Armed Guardian.
Inside the 3 SECONDS FROM NOW training series, the viewer is exposed to a series of real-life self-defense gunfights caught on tape, and these attacks are slowed down, paused, explained, and often re-created inside the Sim 'force on force' arena, so that the viewer can clearly see what went wrong (or right) and why. 

Most importantly of all, these gunfight videos are curated per volume to highlight and teach on important aspects of combat dynamics, so the viewer can learn the most important lessons related to armed-defense survival and effectiveness in an easy-to-digest, chronological order. 

IN SUMMARY: 3 SECONDS FROM NOW has been hailed as "the way self-defense should be taught"; "the best way to learn how to quickly rocket oneself to the upper echelons of intelligence, skill, and ability within the realm of armed defense"; "the most engaging way to learn the tenants and principles of armed self-defense and handgun fighting... from beginning, to mastery."
CCU Founder Pat Kilchermann uses the '3 SECONDS' principles of "Windows", INTENSITY, and 'Precision' to discreetly draw against a drawn gun, and then shoot the attacker 7 times, without being hit once in return.
Here's why we created and developed the the 3 SECONDS FROM NOW handgun defense training series:
  •  Understanding that the vast majority of self-defense pistol instruction available today misses the boat on staying truly effective against the demands of REALITY, we believe educating on self-defense within the context of real-life defensive use-of-force incidents is important. 
  •  Understanding that even live Sim training simply happens too fast for the student to actually learn within, a new training method was required.
  •  Understanding that most people who carry concealed will never be able to afford either the time or investment required to travel across the country to a premiere training school, remote-based professional training was needed.
  •  And finally, understanding that even the best training is quickly forgotten by the body and mind without regular upkeep, this new reality-based, in-home training method had to deliver engaging, focused, important lessons to the guardian viewer a couple times per year.
Thus, 3 SECONDS FROM NOW was born.
Why "THREE SECONDS FROM NOW"?
Our research has shown that most (but not all) criminal attacks share the following commonalities:
  •  Most attacks are 'Reactive-Based' Attacks, where the victim is surprised by the attack. (an ambush, where the criminal has waited for the your attention to be distracted before moving against you).
  •  Most attacks are over in about 3 seconds. By this point, the victim is usually in some kind of state of submission.
And yet, even FBI statistics prove that resistance is almost always the surest way to not only survive a violent encounter, but to survive one without experiencing injury. And as people who have chosen to carry handguns concealed for self-defense, we have the potential to do a lot of good should we find ourselves in one of these situations. 

However... because of the way our bodies and minds are programmed, (and as every professional trainer will warn you), during an attack, we will never 'rise to the occasion.' Instead, we will revert to our most basic level of training. Therefore: if we want to offer effective resistance and protect and preserve innocent human life in the face of a violent attacker, we must seek to elevate what is our most basic level of training.
What THREE SECONDS FROM NOW 
Will Do For You:
The education you'll receive through this series 
brings with it these core benefits:
  •  ACCLIMATION: You will develop a familiarity with violence, violent people, and how violent situations usually play out. You won't be stunned (or as stunned) when it explodes around you.
  •  COMBAT WISDOM: Your senses and intuition will be educated on how you yourself, criminal adversaries, and bystanders alike react within the sphere of a violent situation.
  •  TRAINING IN VIOLENCE AWARENESS & COMBAT RESOURCEFULNESS: You will see and learn first-hand how our immediate surroundings thoroughly dictate our responses to an attack, as the vague idea of "using your pistol in self-defense" is made plain and clear through the viewing of dozens upon dozens of real-life gunfights.
  •  DIRECTION & GUIDANCE: You'll discover your own strengths, uncover weaknesses you weren't aware of, and you'll get a road-map for how to shore up your vulnerabilities and take your armed efficacy to the next level.
  • THE GREATEST LESSONS IN HANDGUN SURVIVAL / COMBAT KNOWN TO MAN: Perhaps the greatest benefit of this series is that the focus of each volume, from #1 onward, highlights as an under-current one major, critically-important lesson of both violence-survival and handgun fighting effectiveness... FOR EXAMPLE:
What You're Going to Get:
HANDS-ON HIGH QUALITY DVD SETS & LIFETIME ONLINE VIDEO ACCESS TO...
Volume 1: DECISIONS UNDER FIRE.
Inside the 3.5 hours of DECISIONS UNDER FIRE, we focus on the DECISION to use force. Certainly, like all prudent instructors, we want to make sure that we understand the gravity and implications of what it means to deploy lethal force. And we discuss this at length, showing many scenarios where lethal force WAS NOT necessary, and where an attempt to deploy it caused a victim to become an aggressor, or even to lose his or her own life. 

But we also show a multitude of scenarios where lethal force absolutely was exclusively necessary to survival, and where the victim was carrying concealed, but where that victim failed to take action - either quickly enough... or at all. 

Why do some hesitate? What goes into making a GOOD decision to use force? These are the questions we explore, visualize, illustrate, and answer in Volume 1: DECISIONS UNDER FIRE.
Series Prelude: THE 14 LAWS OF SELF-DEFENSE.
The 14 Laws of Self-Defense are a condensed version of the education that has spanned the most fundamental components of the education and training that we've produced here at Concealed Carry University: namely, throughout the 175 episodes of our Guardian Broadcast and through the 20 hours of our Complete Concealed Carry Guide.

This 35 minute animated short brings to motion and to life the 14 most important elements of armed defense. While we hope that none of these 14 laws are new to you, we know that it's probably been quite some time since you've been through our training material.

Everyone benefits from a refresher! And we believe it makes perfect sense to hit these 14 Laws anew before diving headfirst into the action and intensity that is 3 SECONDS FROM NOW: VOLUME 1, DECISIONS UNDER FIRE.
THE LOGIC OF THE 3 SECONDS FROM NOW 
TRAINING METHODOLOGY ON FULL DISPLAY:
When we realized the horrendous problem facing America's Guardians - this total lack of ability to gain experience without actually being in a use-of-force situation - we understood that we needed to get serious. 

So what we did was catalogue more than 1,000 violence incidents - those caught on camera and those that have been extremely well-documented via interviews.

Our goal was to determine... What causes good guys to LOSE when they lose.... and what causes them to WIN when they win?

We had hoped to uncover patterns. And indeed, we did. What we uncovered blew out minds....
If I asked you what the #1 leading cause of good guy failure and death within a violent encounter was... what would you guess?
  • Too slow on the draw stroke?
  • ​Poor situational awareness?
  • ​Poor marksmanship and missing the threat?
In fact, the #1 failure point across more than 1,400 violent incidents analyzed was...
The DECISIONS MADE BY THE GOOD GUY IN THAT MOMENT.
  • WHETHER to use force.
  • ​WHEN to use force.
  • ​HOW to deploy.
  • ​How AGGRESSIVELY / FAST to deploy.
  • ​WHICH threat to deploy against first.
  • ​etc
Therefore: The Perfect Way To Acclimate 
& Prepare for a Real-Life Violent Encounter:
That's why I'm building this 3 SECONDS FROM NOW series for you exactly this way.

Every volume of this series will feature heart-pumping, eye-opening, and wisdom-boosting real-world gunfights caught on tape, re-created in the SIM arena to help you ACCLIMATE and PREPARE for your own real-world encounter...

But the real brilliance of this series is the way we're going to walk you through this education mission in a top-down fashion...
Beginning with the MOST FREQUENT REASON why good guys succeed and fail.... and the second volume will move into the second most frequent reason why good guys succeed and fail.

This will ensure that the most important survival and VICTORY lessons lodge themselves in the most important areas of your mental real-estate.

Remember: this series has one goal: to give you VETERANCY. To give you EXPERIENCE. This is done vicariously, by exposing you to these real-world scenarios in just the right way. 

3 SECONDS FROM NOW is absolutely not the same thing as actually being there: but it's by far the closest and next best thing, where obtaining real-world experience is concerned. 

You will be DE-sensitized in the areas where it's crucial; and you'll be SENSITIZED in the areas where that is crucial. You will love it. I promise.
And much more importantly.... if you apply yourself to this training material and put to action all the mental and physical training suggestions I give you...
