February: Welcome to Mission Month with JLPFI!
John Lewis • Feb 01, 2020
Define your mission and become focused with JLPFI!
Warm greetings to all of our loyal clients from JLPFI! January was an extraordinary busy month with an abundance of new faces in JLPFI CCW initial and renewal courses. A close friend and long time instructor, Mr. Joe Moreno, has had some health challenges and referred many of his clients to JLPFI to complete their CCW renewals. Joe is in our thoughts and prayers.
January was also a notable month for clients committing to more time on the range with a JLPFI membership! These 2 hour sessions of training are challenging in many ways to GET FOCUSED! JLPFI provides each client with a written MISSION OF OBJECTIVES. Within 2 hours, you are experiencing a variety of operational commands, required movement and engagement of multiple targets! Bring plenty of ammo and be prepared to be successful! Just ask any of our members.....the mission is always more than you expected! This membership course is applicable for handguns, semi-auto rifles and personal defense shotguns! Click

JLPFI is conducting CCW courses 1-2 times a month at Turners Outdoorsman-Fresno now with a client limit of up to 10 students. Our CCW course discussions at Turner's Outdoorsman-Fresno are scheduled frequently on Friday evenings and the range qualification is done the very next day at Sun Mountain Gun Club in Coarsegold! These courses are offered for both initial and renewal CCW clients.
JLPFI reminds each of you to check your expiration date on your CCW as 2 years can fly by! The Fresno Sheriffs office is generating renewal notices 60 days prior to license holders expiration. JLPFI also generates renewal notices to our clients.
Jurisdictional Updates:
Sheriff Mims recently removed the 4 weapon restriction on Fresno County CCW's! You can now range qualify with as many weapons as you would like on your CCW. Contact JLPFI to schedule a range qualification appointment and add those other favorite weapons you own and would like to conceal carry.
Fresno PD CCW Unit: After serving 26 years as the CCW coordinator of the Fresno PD CCW unit, Mr. Ed Torrez and his assistant Ray Sandoval were released from their official duties on December 31, 2019. JLPFI wants to recognize both of these professionals for providing personable service to all City of Fresno CCW permit holders and wish both of you the best on what lies ahead in your lives. Officer Roland Diaz was named as the new City of Fresno CCW coordinator. The CCW office for Fresno PD has relocated downtown to Fresno Police Annex Headquarters. Any City of Fresno CCW holder should contact Officer Roland Diaz at (559) 621-6562 to schedule a CCW renewal appointment up to one month in advance of the expiration of the CCW.
JLPFI is excited to announce our first informational seminar on how to apply for a CCW. This event will include a guest speaker, Mr. Bob Moore, who is the currrent Fresno County Sheriffs Department CCW coordinator. Mr. Moore will present the online application process for applying for a CCW and answer questions regarding conditions and restrictions of the Fresno County CCW. JLPFI will be presenting a variety of subjects related to concealed carry including weapon recommendations, self defense ammunition and less than lethal products. Come join us for a great discussion and presentation at Turners Outdoorsman Fresno on Tuesday, February 11th. We will start at 6pm sharp!
Firearms Industry News Update!
The annual firearms industry SHOT show just concluded last week in Las Vegas. JLPFI was unable to attend this year although the trends evolving in the concealed carry arena include RED DOT OPTICS! JLPFI has witnessed a steady increase in manufacturer offerings for new concealed carry weapons include this fascinating miniature tv screen as a replacement to the rear sight of your firearm!
How did this come about? For many years, competitive shooters used red dot optics to find the target faster by looking thru the window, acquiring the dot to the intended target and squeezing the trigger! NOW, many firearms companies and customizing shops are offering these optics on concealment firearms. As most of you know, JLPFI has always emphasized you should train to shoot close distances with BOTH EYES OPEN. The red dot optic, also known as a "reflex" sight, is a sure way to deliver a fast accurate shot to your target!
Pictured above is a JLPFI Glock Gen 2 training weapon that was recently converted to a reflex red dot sight. The slide was sent to DP Customs for a slide cut and a Vortex Venom red dot was attached to complete the project. This enhancement has truly made this weapon an incredibly accurate and fast target eliminator!
The only bad news is that all the new weapons introduced with these red dot optics will never make it into California until the micro-stamping law and DOJ roster of firearms is overturned in the higher courts. The good news is if any of you have interest in converting your current CCW weapon to accommodate a red dot optic, you can certainly send your slide to a reputable gunsmithing facility such as DP customs, and have your slide machined to exact tolerances of the red dot sight you choose. Reflex dot manufacturers include Trijicon, Vortex, Holosun and many others. Book a course with JLPFI and give it a try......you will be impressed!
Hello all JLPFI fans! Happy New Year! Please take time to read the latest comments from our beloved sheriff, John Zanoni regarding SB2 implementation. More information to follow in upcoming blog updates!
JLPFI is posting this blog for all CCW holders and 2nd amendment supporters to comment on the CA DOJ removing NRA instructors from offering CCW authorized courses!
The Fresno Sheriff's office announces the new SB2 changes coming in January 2024!
There has never been a better time to conceal carry more often!
