Class dates are set around John Rader’s law enforcement shifts. Put your name down and say when you can train. When enough people are waiting for the same class, a date gets set around it and everyone is emailed at once.

Colorado Tactics is one instructor, and I still work full time in law enforcement. That means I do not publish a year of dates I might not be able to keep. I do something better: I set a date once I know people are actually waiting for it.
Tell me which class you want and when you can train. When enough people are holding a seat, I pick a date that works around my shifts and email everyone at once. Exception: the Colorado Firearms Safety Course runs on an ongoing basis — there is no group to wait for, so I set up your session directly.
How this works
- Nothing is charged now and you are not committed.
- You will not sit in a class of two. It runs when it is worth your day and mine.
- You hear from me the moment a date is set. You confirm then.
- Date does not suit you? Stay on the list for the next one. No penalty.
Booking the Firearms Safety Course? That one runs on an ongoing basis — no group to wait for. I will set up your session directly.
Working to a deadline? A permit expiring, a purchase waiting on the state safety course, a court date — call 720-464-SHOT (7468) and say so. I can usually sort something faster than the list, including one-on-one instruction.
