We went out to the Cigar BQUE in Austin last night and had a great time speaking with like-minded individuals who aren't interested in being a victim.
Bobcat Self Defense was opened in 2016 to train the citizens in the Central Texas Region with the desire to carry a self-defense firearm.

Summer is right around the corner. We're sure you've thought about your clothes for the beach or the pool, but have you thought about carrying concealed in a warm environment?
We're big fans of this ultra concealed holster made by Galco Gunleather. Check it out here: http://www.galcogunleather.com/udc-ultra-deep-cover-holster_8_7_1323.html
It's light, made of durable materials, and doesn't need a large amount of real estate on your hip. Shoot us a PM if you have any questions on your next holster!
Aren't you glad you live in the Great State of Texas, where the state HAS to issue you a permit if you meet the prerequisites? Later this year, we should be licensed to teach LTC (License to Carry) classes and we encourage you to get your license EVEN if you don't plan to use it, just in case you need it one day.
If you're someone that has applied for a LTC this year in Texas, hang in there! They're experiencing unprecedented demand and have had to reallocate staffers to make up for it. They'll get back to you but you might have to wait longer than usual.
They're supposed to issue a card within two months after receiving all of the supporting documentation, but I think they're taking longer than that...

Always great to read stories of citizens refusing to be victims. Train and know your capabilities for situations like this.
Intruder Searches Residence for Woman, Finds Her, Gets Shot A home intruder forced his way into an apartment, searched for the female tenant, and was shot when he found her.
We are praying for the community of . This is why we train. This is why we carry. There are people out there that want you dead simply because of the way you live and they won't leave you alone until you convert or die.

It's old news but Open Carry has been legal here for license holders for several months now.
Do any of you open carry on a regular basis?
Have you received glares or disrespectful remarks?
We've openly carried a few times like we used to do in Alaska and it was not eventful. The "wild west" shoot outs are no where to be seen!
Jackie and I have given some thought as to what BSD is and where we want to go with it. We've decided upon this mission statement to explain who we are and what Bobcat is about:
"Bobcat Self Defense seeks to glorify God by being the provider of choice for fi****ms proficiency and self-defense training. We accomplish this by treating employees with the utmost respect in word and deed, being customer-focused, and taking a relentless approach to the services provided. We focus on maximizing the wealth of our shareholders and fulfilling our debt commitments, but never at the expense of the service or the citizen. Finally, we value all human life and conduct ourselves in such a way as to maximize the value of the communities in which we operate.”

Good morning, Central Texas,
I'd like to post some thoughts on concealed carry options.
Shown below are two great concealed carry sidearms.
The Springfield XD-9 is on the left. My wife likes it because of how it fits in her hand and her purse. It has two safeties that have to be engaged, making it difficult to accidentally discharge in the "pocketbook"
The G***k 33 is on the right. I've been carrying it for three years on construction jobsites and in very hot weather. It's light, skinny, and yet still fits my hand well. It shoots a .357 sig, which is one of the preferred cartridges in law enforcement.
Would you like to try shooting one of the fi****ms shown or learn more about what sidearm best suits your purpose? PM us!!
What do you carry??

News flash: we're now certified to teach the NRA Basics of Pistol Course!
This course is designed for those that aren't familiar with handguns or shooting in general. We will take you from no experience (or little experience) to knowing the fundamentals of marksmanship, handgun handling, and will even teach you how to take apart and clean your pistol of choice.
This course is great for those interested in getting their Texas License to Carry because it talks about the practical aspects of owning and Shooting a firearm, rather than just the laws behind carrying a handgun.
This course will be taught in your living room, office, church etc. Please private message us with any requests!
Murder rate drops as concealed carry permits rise, study claims A dramatic spike in the number of Americans with permits to carry concealed weapons coincides with an equally stark drop in violent crime, according to a new study, which Second Amendment advocates say makes the case that more guns can mean safer streets.
Bobcat Self Defense is a LTC (license to carry) and fi****ms training resource for those who desire to carry a firearm in the great state of Texas or to become more acquainted with fi****ms in general.
We'll be up and running later this year and will be a mobile service - meaning we will come to you and train you in your most comfortable environment.
Please like our page and stay tuned for updates. Those who like and follow the page before we start offering classes will receive a deep loyalty discount for their first class!
God bless!
