Students will be exposed to a variety of circumstances and taught how to resolve each situation quickly and accurately. This course can also be repeated to increase proficiency.
This Level II course builds upon the basic handgun skills, but will focus primarily on intermediate concealed carry and home defense/self-defense shooting skills from the concealed carry position and/or inside residences. Topics discussed and practice include:
