Basic Safety Course

This is a NY compliant SAFETY course. There is no gun handling and no live fire. You will learn about the operation and functions of Revolvers and Semi Auto Pistols. You will learn the skills and mindset needed to handle firearms safely. It is strongly suggested you use this merely as a step one in your training, and take the live fire component at a later date to earn an NRA Basic Pistol Safety Certificate. Which is what you will need for a Ct, or Florida CCW permit.

Personal Protection Inside the Home

This is an eight-hour course. Students should expect to shoot approximately 100 rounds of ammunition. Students will learn basic defensive shooting skills, strategies for home safety and responding to a violent confrontation, firearms and the law, how to choose a handgun for self-defense, and continued opportunities for skill development. Students will receive the NRA Guide to the Basics of Personal Protection In The Home handbook, NRA Gun Safety Rules brochure, the Winchester/NRA Marksmanship Qualification booklet, and course completion certificate.

Personal Protection Outside the Home

The course teaches students the knowledge, skills and attitude essential for avoiding dangerous confrontations and for the safe, effective and responsible use of a concealed pistol for self-defense outside the home. Students have the opportunity to attend this course using a quality strong side hip holster that covers the trigger, or a holster purse. From a review of safe firearms handling and proper mindset to presentation from concealment and multiple shooting positions, this course contains the essential skills and techniques needed to prevail in a life-threatening situation.
