Geared towards the carry license holder or anyone serious about prudently approaching the use of deadly force in self-defense, this class will continue training received in NRA basic classes relating to the judicious use of deadly force against both armed and "unarmed" adversaries.  Students will learn decision making in high-stress situations and how to articulate dangerous circumstances in explaining their reactions to potentially crippling or lethal threats in post-shooting interrogations.  This training will include "shoot - don't shoot" scenarios on a shooting simulator, including critique.  Instruction will also include speed skills drawing and reloading, engaging close-range threats, low-light shooting skills with tactical lights, malfunction clearing, shooting around barricades/cover and more.

PREREQUISITE:  NRA Basic Pistol or Personal Protection class or similar formal training.    FOID card is required of Illinois residents as evidence of good character.  Carry permit from any issuing state for out-of-state students.  (May we suggest Pennsylvania if you don't have one currently.)  Minimum age:  18 years.

Registration covers lunch, drinks, range time, safety equipment (as needed) and class hand-outs.

Students will need to bring 300 rounds of ammunition (caliber restriction:  mimimum .380, maximum .45).  No pocket pistols (e.g. Kel-Tec P3AT) and no magnum ammo, please.  Recommended:  Eye and ear protection, belt holster, at least two spare magazines / speedloaders and belt carrier(s), tactical flashlight (with spare batteries) and brimmed hat (keeps hot brass from behind your glasses).  Loaner guns and gear will be available on a very limited basis... to include gear for S&W .38 pistols, Beretta 9mm and Glock 9mm series pistols.
