Defensive & Tactical Training Centers
Facilities offering concealed carry, personal protection, and tactical training courses for civilians, security professionals, and law enforcement through certified instructors.
Market snapshot
These figures describe Shooting Ranges & Firearms Training (2.13.6), the segment that Defensive & Tactical Training Centers sits within — not Defensive & Tactical Training Centers on its own.
No discrete Census NAICS code — shooting ranges sit within other amusement/recreation (713990) and firearms-retail classifications, so the segment is not separately sized by the Census Bureau.
