Y
ou spend most of your time training for the 1% shooting encounter, but 99% of the time you encounter no lethal threat. In addition when is the last time you trained to defend yourself in full kit against an assailant you cannot shoot for legal, tactical, or environmental reasons?
How would you handle non, semi or fully compliant persons when moving through a structure in full kit with a long gun or handgun? How would you immediately respond to defeat a subject in mid-presentation at arms length BEFORE you could access your firearm? How would you immediately defend against a sling grab or attempted takedown?
This course empowers you with confidence and capability to competently and effectively control such situations by employing use-of-force-appropriate operational concepts and counter measures.
In this outstanding two-day (16 hour) block of study you will be presented with the essential building blocks for long gun carry options, weapon indexing, asymmetrical transitions, long gun countermeasures (versus attempted weapon/ sling grabs), subject control (with long gun),operator countermeasures (with handgun), extended handgun retention, handgun counter retention and subject control (with a handgun).
