The Truth About Low Light: Free Webinar Aug 13
I have never met a concealed carrier who thinks they are bad at shooting in the dark. I have met a whole lot who have never actually tried it.
That is the gap. Most of our training happens in daylight, on a range with open sky or bright overhead lights, against a target we can see clearly from the first second to the last. Then we go home and carry through parking garages, driveways, gas station lots, and hallways at two in the morning.
Low light is where the distance between how we practice and where we are actually likely to need the skill gets the widest. It is also the area where the gear and technique advice floating around is the most outdated and/or not applicable to the non-law enforcement audience.

So we are doing something about it.
Free Live Webinar: The Truth About Low Light
On Thursday, August 13, we are hosting a free live session with Dan Brady called The Truth About Low Light. It covers how outdated gear and old doctrine set concealed carriers up to fail after dark, and what to do about it.
- 8:00 PM Eastern
- 7:00 PM Central
- 6:00 PM Mountain
- 5:00 PM Pacific

Why We Asked Dan Brady

Dan is a career law enforcement officer with more than 25 years of service, including over 20 years as a firearms instructor. He has trained local, state, and federal officers along with military law enforcement personnel. For the past six years he has been part of the instructor cadre at Apache Solutions Firearms Training in North Carolina, where he has been building concealed carry curriculum aimed at the armed citizen rather than the badge holder.
Inside the civilian training community, Dan is one of the handful of people genuinely recognized as a subject matter expert on defensive white light. That is a narrower specialty than most people realize, and it is one where the gear moved forward considerably while the commonly taught doctrine largely did not.
What He Is Covering
- Why the single spec most people use to judge a flashlight is the wrong one, and the number that actually determines whether you can identify a threat at distance
- Popular everyday carry lights that look great on the packaging and come up short when it counts
- Where common low-light techniques quietly add risk instead of reducing it
- How to test your current setup tonight, in your own house, to find out whether it does what you think it does
- The honest gap between how prepared most carriers feel in the dark and how prepared they actually are

Live means live. Bring questions.
This Is the Start of Something Bigger
The webinar is the front end of a larger low light push we are rolling out through August.
Without giving away too much yet, there is a mini series coming that digs deeper into technique and gear decisions, along with a set of challenges built to get you off the computer and actually testing your kit instead of reading about somebody else testing theirs.
More details on all of that soon. What matters right now is that the webinar is critical to put on your calendar now and get registered, and the rest of it will land better if you are there for the live session.
