The Basics of self-defensive using a Handgun class in a Non-NRA course. This course is for those who have experience shooting their handgun and want now to effectively carry it concealed.
Why? In an atmosphere of uncertainty and fear, knowing how to confidently defend oneself is reassuring. Many are taking advantage of the non-resident concealed carry licenses being offered by states such as Florida, Utah, Virginia, etc. Our class covers the details on these non-resident licenses.
How? The class starts at the very beginning providing the opportunity to try various holsters to find the one that fits your needs. Many handgun owners are frustrated trying to select and use holsters as there are limited opportunities to try them on.
Learning to draw and shoot from a holster is covered and practiced extensively. Laser cartidges (that chamber in your handgun) are initially used shooting at targets that highlight hits.Extensive practicing is done with the laser cartridges before moving on to live fire.
The class is 6 hours in duration and includes information designed to help you carry concealed safely and effectively. See the detailed outline below.
