Seth Cohen is the founder and lead instructor of Your Clear Defense, LLC (yourcleardefense.com), a firearms training business serving Central Florida. He delivers a mix of concealed carry instruction, home defense fundamentals, firearm safety, and situational awareness training. Based in Clermont, Florida (serving the broader Central Florida region), his classes are held at local ranges and training facilities. Cohens personal background is part of what makes this spotlight compelling. He is a licensed attorney with over 27 years of legal practice and also holds credentials as an NRA Certified Pistol Instructor, USCCA Concealed Carry & Home Defense Fundamentals Instructor, and NRA Range Safety Officer. Before his legal career, he worked as a bodyguard and bouncer in New York and Florida, giving him real-world exposure to protective work and threat environments. This blend of legal, tactical, and experiential insight is woven into the curriculum he delivers. One distinguishing feature of Your Clear Defense is the legal clarity he integrates into every training session. He doesnt just teach marksmanship or gun handling he guides students through the when, why, and how to stay on the right side of the law. As he writes, With over 27 years as a practicing attorney in NY, CT, and MA, I bring legal clarity to your training. Youll learn not just how to shoot but when, why, and how to stay on the right side of the law. Smaller class sizes and a friendly, non-intimidating learning environment further underscore his mission to empower responsible gun ownership. A student who took his Florida CCW class shared on social media: This was exactly what I needed he was patient, clear, and helped me understand not only how to operate safely, but when I can legally act. (testimonial paraphrased from reviews on his site and class feedback) this reflects the consistent praise he receives for combining technical and legal education. Your Clear Defense offers beginner to intermediate classes, covering everything from firearm basics, safe storage, shooting fundamentals, legal doctrine, conflict avoidance, and scenario planning. Its location in Central Florida means people from Orlando, Tampa, and surrounding counties can access his offerings. Know a coach or range that deserves to be featured?
