 Basic Defensive Pistol

 

 

Who should take this Class?

 

This Class is for the individual wanting to gain the knowledge to prevent a violent encounter, deal with an encounter if it happens and how to handle the aftermath.  This class focuses on the skill that is necessary for conceal carry, but provides information that carries over into having a firearm at home. 

 

Course Overview:

 

Survival experts will tell you that in any survival situation whether it be a wilderness survival situation or a violent encounter, having the proper mindset is perhaps the most important trait for survival. With 90% of the battle being mental, a full classroom day is devoted to teaching you the proper Mindset for a violent encounter.  For a taste of the mindset discussion, see our newsletter article; The Combat Mindset.  Why do criminals do what they do? Do they see the world from a different moral perspective than we do?  We overview some of the latest thinking and research on this subject so you will have an idea of who you are up against in a violent encounter.

When is it appropriate to use deadly force to stop a threat?  Developing the judgment to recognize when this trigger point is reached in any encounter with an assailant involves criteria that is both common to the laws in nearly every state in the union and with specific situations defined acceptable by the laws of the State of Georgia.  We cover this issue in some detail. How best to carry? There are many methods of concealed carry and you need to be aware of the pros and cons of each method. We overview the equipment and comfort of the various options. With the class being a thorough overview of the basics of self defense with a pistol, you will not leave the classroom disapointed.

 

Range day starts off with a review of basic marksmanship skills and moves to presentation from the holster.  We also cover reloading techniques and malfunction clearing.  You will shoot both strong hand and support hand as well as from retention.  We go over shooting on the move and shooting from cover, which is vital to surviving a violent encounter.
