We will cover the foundations of the shooting process including grip, sights, trigger control, stance, and structure. The class will focus on expanding your competency and confidence in your skill set, and refining your equipment. We will discuss the legal, mental, and philosophical backing for concealed carry as well as the psychological mechanisms which better prepare us for potentially lethal defensive engagements. My goal is to prepare your mechanical skill set and enhance your mental process, measured against the situations that you may encounter as a civilian in a defensive role.
