This course provides six hours of combined classroom and live-fire training. After a thorough review of firearms safety, students develop the marksmanship fundamentals, situational awareness, and defensive shooting skills needed to safely operate a pistol for self defense.

Course Objectives

• Discover the self-defense mindset

• Discuss handgun concealment options and transport laws

• Demonstrate safe firearms operation (aim, stance, trigger work and follow through, loading and unloading)

• Distinguish between defensive shooting and target shooting

• Analyze common self-defense situations

Although practical legal issues will be covered, this is not a Carry Permit course.
