Over two 3.5 hour sessions in a safe, women’s only environment, you will learn the mindset and skills to protect yourself and those that you care deeply about with and without a firearm. You will learn or review about firearms, how to choose a firearm, the basics of handling a firearm, and then about self-defense. Learn the difference between accurate target shooting and defensive shooting. Practice will be inside the classroom using SIRT pistols (laser only shooting pistols), but you will be seriously challenged. Holsters and special clothing will be used. No firearms are to be brought to class. Additional two-hour, semi-private range instruction at Blue Hill Rifle and Pistol Club will cost $65 payable to the instructor. You’ll sign up for your range lesson at the first class. A $35 textbook is included. This course meets Concealed Carry Permit application requirements.
