A little spice can go a long way when it comes to personal safety!
Pepper spray is one of the most affordable, accessible, and effective personal defense options available. But do you really know how to use it? Are all pepper sprays created equal? And more importantly, do you understand when and how you can legally use it to protect yourself?
Whether you're a college student, working professional, senior citizen, or simply someone looking for additional personal protection options, this course is designed for YOU!
Join 1:9 Tactical for an informative, interactive, and hands-on seminar exploring the world of pepper spray and its role in personal defense.
What You'll Learn:
Situational Awareness: Recognizing potential threats and avoiding dangerous situations before they escalate.
Legal Considerations: Understanding when the use of pepper spray may be legally justified and the responsibilities that come with carrying it.
Understanding Pepper Spray: Exploring the different types of Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) products, including sprays, streams, gels, foams, and foggers.
Choosing the Right Product: Understanding the advantages, limitations, and practical considerations of different pepper spray options.
Proper Use & Deployment: Learning safe handling, accessibility, deployment techniques, and practical considerations during a defensive encounter.
Safety & Decontamination: Understanding accidental exposure, potential effects, and appropriate decontamination procedures.
Hands-On Practice: Put your knowledge into action by practicing defensive spray deployment using inert (non-irritating) training products.
Why Take This Class?
Pepper spray can provide a valuable defensive option between having no means of protection and resorting to deadly force. However, simply carrying pepper spray doesn't mean you're prepared to use it effectively.
Having the right tool is important. Knowing when, why, and how to use it is what makes the difference.
Our goal isn't simply to teach you about pepper spray. It's to help you develop the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills to make informed decisions about your personal safety.
No Experience Necessary!
This course is beginner-friendly, welcoming, and designed for everyday civilians. You don't need firearms experience, specialized equipment, or any previous self-defense training.
And don't worry — nobody is getting pepper sprayed in this class! All practical exercises use inert training products.
Come prepared to learn, ask questions, practice new skills, and have a little fun while taking your personal safety seriously.

Let’s clear something up: shotguns aren’t just for duck hunters and action movie heroes. They’re for anyone who wants to learn, and they’re a blast to shoot (pun fully intended).
Shotgun Fun 101 is a 4-hour crash course for total beginners and anyone who’s still a little unsure about the shotgun. We’ll take you from “Which end does the shell go in?” to confidently running your shotgun on the range. Along the way, we promise plenty of laughs, a lot of learning, and no judgment.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it:
✔ Master the safety rules. These are the non-negotiables every shooter lives by. ✔ Learn your gear. We’ll cover how a shotgun works, how to load and unload it, and how to handle it like you’ve been doing it for years. ✔ Nail the fundamentals. You’ll learn stance, mount, aim and follow-through, plus how to tame recoil so your shoulder thanks you. ✔ Meet the ammo family. You’ll shoot birdshot, buckshot and slugs and find out what makes each one unique. ✔ Explore the shotgun world. We’ll cover sport shooting, home defense, and tactical applications so you can see where your new skills can take you.
Whether you’re thinking about home protection, want to try clays with friends, or just want to check something off your bucket list, this is the perfect place to start.
