AMERICAN ARMED CITIZEN SERIES: COVERT PROTECTIVE PISTOL I

“There is a difference between being a Gun Owner and being an Armed Citizen”

American Armed Citizen – Covert Protective Pistol I will start you down the path taking you from being a gun owner to being an Armed Citizen, who has the proper Protective Mindset and the ability to employ a pistol in the protection of life. This course will help you build a sound foundation in the development of a robust, reliable, and consistent protective system, all the while gaining an understanding of the potential threats that you may encounter. On the Range we will introduce you to proper pistol manipulation and the fundamentals of marksmanship, as they relate to the employment of a pistol in a protective role. Practical applications of the draw stroke from open carry and concealed carry will be mentored, along with fast and accurate shot placement, emergency and proactive reloads, extending your threshold for success at distance, and non-diagnostic malfunction clearance will be some of the topics covered in this course. Students will also be mentored in how to apply lessons learned into their practice sessions.
