Class Time: 2 hours
This is a defensive handgun course for those who want to further their skills with a handgun for home or personal protection, or are considering carrying, a handgun for self-defense. Students should already be conversant in the safe handling and firing of a handgun (such as completing Women's 101 Fundamentals).
This class covers firearms handling safety, range safety and personal safety. We summarize the legal and psychological issues involved in using a firearm for self-defense. We practice basic handling, operation, reloading, malfunction clearances, and shooting skills with training guns, "dry" in the classroom. This course concludes with a range liver-fire session allowing students to train with their own defensive handgun (rental firearms are available) through a series of defensive drills.
