Mission 94

In this module, we expands on the building blocks outlined in Women’s Basic Pistol, with a detailed and visual explanation of the differences, the pros, and the cons of semi-automatics and revolvers; and even how these firearms can malfunction (and the procedures for correcting those malfunctions). We then introduce the student to holster options for concealed carry, and what every woman (and man) should know about establishing boundaries using the “color codes of awareness.” This lesson is summarized with a number of on and off the range exercises, allowing the student to put these intermediate skills to practice.

Gain a deeper understanding of the implications of being armed in public, how to stay safe by avoiding danger, pre-threat indicators, de-escalation tactics, using force and the importance of seeking further training.

While there are a number of diagnostic tools, medications, and devices that EMS providers have access to that are simply not available to non-professionals, the vast majority of the items that you’d find in the back of a typical ambulance or medic bag are things that nonprofessionals can find online with just a few clicks, or, even purchase at your local drugstore. To help you to prioritize your own purchases, we are going to suggest what type of gear might be included in emergency first aid kits of three different sizes to fit three different needs, or, three different “missions.” We'll wrap up this course with a few suggestions on where you can go from here.

This course begins in the classroom, getting to know your AR-15. We'll explore the history and popularity of the AR-15; parts, features, and functions; overview of cleaning and maintenance; accessorizing the AR-15; and basics about using the AR-15 for home defense.

We will then move to our live fire bays for range time, including safety essentials, confirmation of zero, and use/operation of an AR-15; students will work on drills that incorporate dry-fire and live fire with kinesthetic alignment, mechanical offset (and the application of hold over), along with the balance of speed and precision shooting.

A common thread runs through all first-responder education: learning to assess a situation is at the top of essentials. Assessing factors such as the safety of a scene, the seriousness of a situation, understanding the need for additional help and understanding the risks to the rescuer’s personal safety are all. From the moment you arrive at the scene of a traumatic or medical emergency, you will need to mentally run through the assessment checklist. Committing this checklist to memory can help calm you during what might be a very chaotic scene, and your calmness can lead to a better outcome for the patient.
