Personal Protection in the Home
Description Unlike the other basic courses, the Personal Protection course covers defensive shooting. Self-defense is a topic somewhat distinct from the regular diet of shooting fundamentals, it can cover mindset, legal issues, decision-making under pressure, and planning for the worst. The Basic Personal Protection in the Home course is designed around the use of the defensive pistol. Although
the course can be completed as quickly as eight hours, the amount of
information presented, and the probability of intensive question and
answer sessions on the included topics, makes it likely that the course
will take longer. Course Goal “To develop in the students the basic knowledge, skills, and attitude essential to the safe and efficient use of a handgun for protection of self and family, and to provide information on the law-abiding citizen's right to self-defense.” — NRA Basic Personal Protection in the Home Course Lesson Plan Lessons 1. Introduction to Defensive Shooting 2. Basic Defensive Handgun Skills 3. Firearms and the Law: Possession, Ownership, and the Use of Deadly Force Conducted by Respected Attorney John Chapman 4. Strategies for Home Safety and Responding to a Violent Confrontation 5. Selecting a Handgun for Personal Defense 6. Sport Shooting Activities and Training Opportunities 7. Course Review and Examination Prerequisites Participants in the Personal Protection course should be experienced shooters, showing mastery of the basic skills of safe gun handling. If necessary, this course will put partcipants through a pre-course evaluation exercise, where potential students are asked to demonstrate safe gun handling, shoot a series of five-shot groups, discuss the operations necessary to zero a pistol, and demonstrate how to properly clean a handgun. Finally, the Personal Protection course is intended for mature law-abiding adults, who have the mindset and seriousness necessary to properly perform the activities in the course. Self-defense is not a topic that lends itself to horseplay and distractions. Course Completion Students will be given feedback on their shooting exercises, and a certificate upon successful completion of the lessons. Not only are shooting standards fired during the practical exercises, but a written exam will be given at the end of the course. Throughout the course the instructor will use a individual checklist for each student to ensure the coverage of course material, and satisfactory absorption of the material being taught. ***UPCOMING COURSE DATES***
