Pami,
Simply put, because the Pistol is the "tool" being used in this course. We teach you how to fight unarmed AND with your pistol.
Quite honestly, we had a difficult time choosing names for it because there are so many "concealed carry" courses out there and this is NOT just another concealed carry course.
We thought calling it something like "Integrated Combatives", but we liked Advanced Pistol Fighting best.
