This class is open to adults of both basic and intermediate skill levels, regardless if you’re brand new to guns or have been carrying concealed for years. Graduates of firearms safety courses and licensed concealed carriers often find themselves lacking the basic skills and techniques needed to safely and effectively utilize their handguns in a self defense situation. They are resigned to simply “going shooting” with friends and family in hopes of learning the much needed skills. In most cases people are simply left to “reinvent the wheel’ which often leads to a severe lack of confidence. Many end up not carrying their guns at all and leave them at home. This course was designed specifically to bridge the gap between a basic safety course and safe every day carry of a self defense. There will be both real and functional firearms as well as training versions present for students to train. Students may bring their own as well but THERE WILL BE NO LIVE AMMUNITION ALLOWED in the training area. Topics covered will include: Firearms Safety, Grip, Stance, Drawing from Holster, Dealing with Malfunctions, Reloading, Caliber Selection, Concealment, Carry methods, and Dry Fire Practice.
