- Day 1 (8 + Hours)  Classroom/Range

This cirriculum was designed around new shooters who want to defend themselves with a handgun. Even if you have never fired a gun in your life, the classroom instruction will guide you through all the steps you need to safely handle your gun, and hit what you're aiming at. Experienced shooters have enjoyed the hands-on nature of the course and using the LASR app to further hone their skills. The primary goal of this block of instruction is teaching the 4 rules of firearms safety as a skill to be honed and refined, rather than a set of rules to remember and regurgitate. This commitment to safety is layered throughout instruction the client receives in the basic skills and concepts needed to responsibly keep and bear a handgun. We want our clients to be able to train and practice handling a gun safely all the time, whether they're standing flat footed on the range, have a piece of hot brass in their shirt, are under time pressure, or are fighting for their lives.

Firearms safety
