Most States fall short of requiring “adequate training” and leave the citizen with a vague idea of when and how to engage a hostile threat. Many accidental shootings occur while drawing or holstering a carried firearm. Most of those accidents involve shooting themselves, most in the hand, leg, or foot. Some involve shooting innocent bystanders who have hit by a bullet over-penetration, and others struck by “stray bullets” that failed to hit the hostile threat (The Test of True Gun Control is Hitting the Target).

TOTAL PARTICAPANT INVOLVEMENT (CLASS, RANGE HANDS ON), and at the End of Personal Protection Outside the Home you will have the opportunity to ask questions of a Criminal Attorney or a Police Officer Standards Training Instructor.
