This is a developmental skills course focused on the practical use of the defensive pistol.    It is a great course to continue your training progression and will provide an opportunity to learn new skills while improving upon your existing skill set.  The material will be presented in a crawl, walk, run manner and in an easy to understand building block approach.  Focus areas will be practical application of the defensive pistol for a self defense scenario.  We will also discuss the legal requirements for the use of deady force and some general considerations for going armed in public.

Although we will be working on practical skills in a serious manner  but you should be prepared to have FUN!  

• This will NOT be a "competitive format" or "military training".  
• It WILL focuse on practical application of the defensive pistol and the use of lawfully justified deadly force
• We will balance the skills levels of all attendees to ensure everyone leaves with new information and skill development.
