FAS-2 students learn how to clear malfunctions and numerous other handgun operation skills.

DEFENSIVE HANDGUN

Two days of range instruction, teaching the armed citizen or entry-level police officer the techniques of defensive handgunning. Instruction covers the basics of grip, stance, sight picture and trigger squeeze, and continues into the gun handling mechanics of draw stroke, reloads and malfunction clearing.

Once these are mastered, the students learn low light shooting, point shooting skills, use of cover techniques, shooting at moving targets and shooting while moving. Classroom discussion covers gun safety, laws concerning use of deadly force, along with in-depth coverage of other use of deadly force concerns.

Prerequisite: Student should have a good working knowledge and familiarity of handguns, but no formal training is necessary. Student will be required to present a state-issued license to carry a concealed handgun, military or police identification or other form of background check prior to participation. Women who are pregnant or nursing may not participate in live-fire training, due to risks from lead exposure and loud noise.
