What You'll Learn

This course will include classroom instruction and live shoot/don't shoot scenario training, utilizing our virtual firearms training simulator.

Critical incidents involving the use of force happen very quickly, and can have life-altering consequences. Give yourself the edge to survive not only the physical encounter, but the potential legal fight afterwards. Learn about the critical "Golden Hour" of any self defense use of force situation, and the important steps that you need to take before and after the incident. Gain the edge by learning to recognize pre-assault body language indicators, and understand the effects of the physiological responses to stress in a critical incident. Learn the principles of self defense law that govern the legal use of force.

Cancellation Policy: Students are required to cancel at least 48 hours in advance of a class date in order to receive a full refund. Classes cancelled less than 48 hours before the class will not be refunded, but may be rescheduled for another upcoming class within a reasonable time frame, at the discretion of the instructor.

What We'll Teach

Legal Use of Force

In this lesson, Michael Martin will cover important legal topics, including the laws governing the legal use of force inside and outside the home. Within this lesson, you’ll get a chance to test what you’ve learned, using several real world scenarios with you as the actor.

Additional Notes from Your Instructor

There is no live fire training in this course. We will be using recoil enabled laser pistols with our firearms training simulator. All necessary equipment will be provided. NO LIVE WEAPONS OR AMMO ALLOWED IN THE TRAINING ENVIRONMENT!
