Personal Defense Course

This course of instruction is a must if you carry a firearm and is based on the theories that if you are carrying a weapon of any type and don’t have the practice to utilize that weapon in a timely fashion, your personal defense weapon will then become the perpetrator’s personal offensive weapon

Situational Awareness is ultimately your biggest safety.  If you do not put yourself in a situation to become a victim, you most likely will not become a victim.  If in the off chance you have done all that you can to prevent a situation, we are going to teach you multiple methods to ensure you come out alive.

We utilize real firearms (handguns, semi-automatic rifles, shotguns) converted to fire non/less than lethal ammunition.*  Each person will be given instruction on a 2:5 instructor to student ratio, on a multitude of draw from the holster methods. There is no one correct way to do anything in life but we will give you many options and allow you to practice.

Each student will be supplied with a “blue gun” along with a holster. Each blue gun is a SIG type gun, similar to the UTM converted firearms.

Drills include:
• drawing from the holster
• forward/backward & lateral movement while holstered, at the ready and while Aiming Down Sights (ADS)
• protection on holstered firearm, open-carry (crowded areas, grocery store checkout lines, etc)
• rules of engagement while carrying a firearm (Situational Awareness, creating white space, shouting)
• techniques once assaulted
• multiple assailants drill
• live/simulation round fire drills

*Conversions sold by UTM. These conversions cannot fire “live” ammunition – meaning a “real” bullet cannot be chambered, loaded, racked, etc, or fired from our conversion kits. Although live ammunition is not allowed in the classroom environment, checks will be done with a minimum of two person integrity.
