New option! This has been big with my students.
Skill builder shooting course after the class, $20 for over an hour of training on how to practice!

 

Read this!!

While supplies last free .22LR ammo for qualifying!!!!!


Ammo shortage

Due to the shortage of ammo if you cannot find ammo for the shooting portion of the class, I have several .22LR semi auto pistols for you to use to qualify with. We also have a huge supply of .22LR ammo for sale at the classes! Don't let the ammo shortage stop you from choosing PCSD as your trainer. We still encourage you to use the gun you will carry but offer this as a last resort so you can get your permit. You can also use a .22LR semi auto for the skill builder class after the permit class.

New Promotions


For the next two months, we are offering two new promotions:
Anyone signing up for a renewal class along with someone getting their permit for the first time, pays only a $5.00 paperwork fee and the regular range fee.
Anyone who takes their first time permit course with Plane Cents, will get their renewal course in 5 years for only a $5.00 paperwork fee and the regular range fee.

 

Week day private or small group skill builder classes.

Classes are good for all skill levels and for all people who want to learn real handgun proficiency needed for self defense. Great for those who want private one on one. Use .22LR or any hand gun you want I have over 20 guns to borrow. Call to set up a date 612-327-3490


$75 for Utah and Minnesota $55 renewals (Week ends)
I am referred to not as “A” cheap guy but “The” Cheap Guy for permit to carry training by some other instructors! This is something my wife and I are proud of and have worked very hard to earn that title. We set out to provide a high quality course at a very affordable price so more people can afford to carry without the sacrifice of quality. Check my references and call or visit their businesses. See what they say about my course. I do not trash out other courses when you call me. We all do great jobs of training. We have to or the BCA would pull us from the list of instructors. Just compare my qualifications to others and you will see I have what is needed to provide competent training and also some things that others do not. I keep the course priced as low as possible, provide free food and beverages, and you get a disk containing a lot of valuable information to supplement what you learn in class.
Yes I am The Cheap Guy, and I'm proud of it!!!!! Go here

Why don't you call me and ask me why you should train with me. 612-327-3490

 

Ladies
PCSD is the only training organization that has both Female and Male instructors who carry as part of every weekend class.


 

We have trained thousands of students for carry since 2003!

 

Joe and Marcia have just returned from Front Sight Gun Training Institute www.FrontSight.com where we attended another 5-day defensive handgun training class. Ask your potential instructor if they have invested the money and had 10 full days of tactical pistol training in the last year so he can train you at the level we can! We know of no husband and wife CCW instruction team in Minnesota that can claim this.

 

I have a limited number of raffle tickets for 30 guns for $30. Its a fund raiser for Shady Lanes. Call me at 612-327-3490 if you are interested.

Get your permit for 1/2 what others are charging and in one day. Its worth a little drive. Some weekday classes are back, check the schedule!

Why PCSD?
I can be there to train you for carry, teach you to shoot, and can even be there if you are arrested after a legal defensive shooting helping you find the resources you need. (I am a licensed bail bondsman, also) How nice to have a friendly face to help you get through a defensive shooting! No other instructor can provide all these services! Please read on the rest of this page to learn more about why you should choose us over all other courses out there.

Why is Joel Rosenberg (Twin Cities Carry Course™) attacking me?

Why is this guy Joel Rosenberg (TwinCities Carry Course™) so obsessed with me? Go to this link at MNguntalk. Many well respected instructors in the community are wondering also. Click here this is Joepenaz.me. I would use joepenaz.net or Joepenaz.com but Joel Rosenberg (Twin City Carry Course™) purchased those domains with my name, why would he do that?

I just got an email from Joel Rosenberg (Twin City Carry Course™) 6/21/09 he states he is attacking me for amusement. Do you want to take a class from some one like that?

Subject: I dunno.
Yup; it does amuse me to criticize penazitry. Is that my only reason for criticizing your manifest and preposterously self-documented inadequacies? Nah. Do enjoy your new friends over at day care, and, of course, have a nice day.

"PCSD has been training people to shoot a gun since 1982"

If you want to carry in Minnesota, I am the guy just call my references.

Now that Obama is in office your gun rights have never been threatened as they are now. http://www.gunbanobama.com You need to get your permit now so you will be grand fathered in until we can get new leadership who are pro 2nd amendment. Numbers matter and this is the best way to show your support for your gun rights. Get your permit and tell the politicians I want the right to defend my self and my family. Don’t let what happened to Canada happen to us!


"Be your own Body Guard"

Why do I carry a gun?

"When I carry a gun, I don't do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I'm looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don't carry it because I'm afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn't limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force. It removes force from the equation...and that's why carrying a gun is a civilized act."

    -- why the gun is civilization by Marko Kloos

 

We wrote the book on CCW course value!
We offer more value than any other class in

Do you need a private weekday class?
Call me 612-327-3490


I do private classes for as little a 1 person to match difficult schedules. This is great for women who are in need of extra help in the shooting portion of the permit process.

 

After completing our course you can apply for MN, Utah, Florida & New Hampshire and carry in 31+ states!
You can carry in these states if you apply for all 4 permits after our course:

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wyoming.

Carry laws change frequently. You need to go to www.usacarry.com to get up-to-date information as to where your permit(s) allow you to carry. It is your sole responsibility to know the law.

 

A chance to try a gun free to help you chose your carry gun!
Choosing the right gun to carry is an important decision. Women especially need to try out a variety of guns for carry. Marcia carried 4 guns before she found one that she really likes and is comfortable with. We have a variety of guns for you to try to help you choose your carry handgun. You can rent guns at Bills Gun Shop (pretty expensive), or may be able to use a .22 or revolver through other instructors. No other instructor we're aware of offer the variety and quality of guns that we do. Just another reason to use Plane Cents Self Defense for all your gun training needs. Ask other trainers what the options are for guns you can borrow at their class.

 

Bring 50 rounds of ammo, ear and eye protection, and the gun use is free! Due to our current inability to obtain ammunition, we can no longer offer ammunition for sale at our class. If you are unable to obtain ammunition for the gun you would like to try or for your own gun, just bring some .22LR ammunition and you can use one of our .22's for the qualification.

 

If you want to get your training from an instructor who will not play games with you, just teach you what you need to fulfill the Minnesota requirements to apply for the permit, I am the guy. I will not make you jump through hoops at the range beyond what the state requires (many instructors add timed shooting and other challenges not required by the state). I do the class portion at my house in a comfortable relaxed environment, and I will give you an evening you will not forget. You will not fall asleep at my class!

Plane Cents is now offering Defensive Hand Gun Training. This small group (as little as two) will expose you to what you could see in the real world of self-defense and help you prepare. This is a real eye opener and will show you how to practice for the un-thinkable! A great couple or family experience. 6-8 hours on the range 200+ rounds shot. You will not believe what you do not know. $250 per person per day. Ammo and guns supplied by customer. 9mm to .45 acp. Targets supplied by PCSD.

Personal Security Services PCSD™

Body Guard and Personal Security

Minnesota & Utah training. Florida, New Hampshire accepts PCSD training also a chance to handle guns other instructors can't even own. All for just $75.00.

No one has both Utah and Minnesota for less than $75. I do this as a passion to promote the Second Amendment, not to make the most money I can! I have had students tell me that when talking to other instructors about why they should take their course instead of mine, price almost always comes up (because I am cheaper). A frequent comment from other instructors is, "You get what you pay for." They are right, you can pay more, but is what you get worth the extra money? You can pay up to twice as much for Motrin as you do at Walmart is it worth it?


Others are charging $125 to $175 for both if they even can teach Utah at all. That's one reason why I am so busy. Nobody charges less for both. Free Utah! What is Utah? Along with Minnesota, it is a multi-state permit. This is the closest you can get to a national carry permit! Carry in 31+ states with our permit options. Get the most states for the least amount of money with us. Bring a friend for free. If at the end of the class they do not want the permit, they do not pay!

Why Choose Us?

What you get from me is a high-quality course presented by a well qualified, experienced, instructor; the Utah course bundled with Minnesota for no additional cost; a chance to see a machine gun demo!

The Utah course is presented first. We then cover the remaining topics so you can apply for your Minnesota permit. Together they give you 28+ states to carry in with just two permit applications. All for just $75. You may, if you choose, apply for either the Minnesota or Utah permits individually, or both of them.

Need to renew your permit? If it expires in the next 12 months, get the training out of the way. If you join any of my existing classes, $55 is all you pay this includes Utah!

A word of advice: Talk to your potential instructors before signing up with them. Ask them what kind of training they have to qualify them as an instructor. Many Permit to Carry Instructors have only had a 6-hour training course from certifying organizations that do not require prerequisite training from reputable, high quality training organizations such as the NRA, AACFI, and MADFI. Ask yourself, would you spend your hard earned money to get training in golf from someone who is not a pro? If not, why would you get gun training from someone who is inexperienced and has limited training in the discipline? I understand ratings and licenses how to get them and how to teach them so you will remember. Few instructors have as many hard to get qualifications as I have to teach.

I provide a high quality course filled with content you won't find anywhere else and present the material in a dynamic and understandable manner. You will not be disappointed and you will not fall sleep in my class.

What former students say about PCSD:

"As a former United States Marine and California Police Officer I had the privilege and honor to be taught by some of the best tactical weapons and self-defense experts in the country when I was part of those organizations. The difference I believe, that makes an instructor stand out among all the others is their passion, intensity, and drive to continue to improve upon an already accomplished resume.

Joe, you are in that class of instructor as described above; your passion and energy is clearly evident in the way you conduct your class. Your desire to improve is apparent with your recent training at Front Sight. Thank you for putting this valuable class together giving people the opportunity to exercise their Constitutional Right."

Sincerely,
Steve Porter

"I started carrying in 1964 and have been through several “Classes”; this is the first class that was informative and interesting. I am pleased to recommend Joe Penaz of Plane Cents Self-Defense to you for your training. If you have any questions please feel free to call me."

Join a class this week!

Call if you have a group and I will come to your home and do a private class (5 or more).

We offer products such as holsters and laser trainers not available elsewhere in the Twin Cities.

 I was trained by Joe Olson, the attorney who wrote the law.  Our class has a heavy emphasis on the legal aspects associated with carrying a hand gun in Minnesota.  No other course gives the same in-depth view into the law.  Joe Olson is a Hamline University Law Professor and co-founder of AACFI.  Do not settle for less.   Have Plane Cents Self-Defense train you. Click here to learn more about the courses we offer.  

Plane Cents Self Defense is proud to have been one of the first 3 organizations certified under the 2005 BCA rules in Minnesota. We are also certified through the NRA and was certified through AACFI in 2003 and MADFI in 2005. Plane Cents no longer offers MADFI or AACFI certified or sanctioned courses. We wrote our own course in 2004 and were the leaders in presenting our own sheriff-approved course for Minnesota Permit to Carry, even before the 2005 restructuring of requirements by the BCA. We are BCA-approved and cover things not covered by other courses. Our course combines the knowledge gained from NRA, AACFI, MADFI, and other training in firearms instruction and incorporates the valuable insight gained through training several thousand students, to create a comprehensive permit to carry course.

We have talked to many Sheriffs and law enforcement professionals. We know what their concerns are about citizens with weapons. Some Sheriff's departments have actually had a deputy attend my class unannounced and in plain dress to find out what I am teaching. We have been written up in the Chaska Herald by the sports editor who attended our class.

I also have the added advantage of having several law enforcement professionals within my close circle of family and friends. I have been lucky to hear their stories about what really goes on out there, many of which I will pass on to you.

Most importantly of all, I carry every day. This is important! Many instructors out there do not; many others have carried only since the bill passed I owned my own businesses and carried to and from for many years before the bill passed. I have been involved with competitive shooting as well as hunting with a handgun for 30 years. The person you choose to train you does make a difference. After all, the last thing you want to do is find yourself in a situation where you defended yourself properly and then end up in jail.

I offer classes almost every weekend and also on Tuesday evenings. Why? I care about your time. I know how tough juggling schedules can be, so I give you more options than any other instructor out there. Check my references!!
