Over two sessions in a safe environment, you will learn the mindset and skills to protect yourself and those that you care deeply about with and without a firearm. You will learn or review the basics of handling a firearm and then about self-defense. Learn the difference between accurate target shooting and defensive shooting. Practice will be inside the classroom using SIRT pistols (laser only shooting pistols) but you will be seriously challenged. Holsters and special clothing will be used. A $35 textbook is included. No firearms are to be brought to class. This course meets Concealed Carry Permit application requirements. A semi-private two-hour range lesson is at a separate cost and time.
