Home Defense

Course Description

This one-day course is to help citizens come up with a home defense plan and test out their chosen weapon system (pistol, rifle or shotgun) in real world scenarios. Students will review legal cases involving use of a firearm to defend a residence and debrief lessons learned. Those lessons will be applied in live fire exercises on the range. The topics that will be covered include:

  • Clearing rooms
  • Penetration / Cover / Concealment
  • Legal Responsibilities
  • Shoot/ No Shoot Scenarios

There will be classroom instruction along with live fire scenarios.

*Students can use revolvers but should realize that it will be a long day with many trigger presses and reloads.
