Saturday, February 08th, 2025, Handgun Defensive Tactics

After you have taken the necessary handgun safety course as part of the requirements to apply for and receive a permit to carry a handgun for personal protection, the next step is to learn some basic and semi-advanced tactics to be more prepared in the event you are attacked. This course reviews numerous scenarios and offers tactical answers that can be used to more effectively defend yourself as you attempt to stop the threat.

Levels of awareness and techniques are learned and practiced in a hands-on classroom environment without the use of live fire during PART 1 of this course. Different scenarios will be presented and worked through by students to help master defensive tactics with a handgun for the purpose of personal protection. Techniques for safely and efficiently drawing a firearm from a holster and other concealed places will be learned. Students will participate in split second decision making activities to help improve reaction and response techniques. (No live fire, all classroom instruction.)

This course also expands your knowledge of the handgun, introduces different reload techniques, cover vs. concealment, non-supported shooting, and drills for defense against an attacker with a knife during PART 2 of this course. If this course is split into two sessions, we will schedule a date that works for you for the second session [PART 2] during the first session. There is no exta charge for PART 2 if the course is split into two sessions.

Everything is provided in this course. You are encouraged to bring your own handgun (no ammunition) and holster/purse for maximum benefit. Take home course materials will be distributed.
