Those who are choosing to arm themselves with firearms should, therefore, be armed with the most indispensable protection of all… knowledge. Thus, included in our classes are: (1) NRA Instructor Certification Trainings; (2) Certified NRA Firearms Safety Cl

This course introduces the student to techniques applicable to defensive use of the handgun. Emphasis is put on shooting skill development for application in real-life circumstances. The fundamentals of Mindset, Gun-handling, and Marksmanship are covered in lecture while the practical aspects are taught on the range.
