Prerequisite: This is a Level 2 class. Students entering this class should be proficient with drawing from a holster. Please consult the course descriptions for the Level 1 classes Intro to Handguns, Handgun Fundamentals and Familiarization, and Concealed Carry 101 before enrolling in Defensive Handgun. While students are welcome to start their training with the Firearms Academy of Seattle, Inc. at Level Two, they must have a firm grasp and understanding of the curriculum of our Level One courses. Our Level 1 Curriculum is designed so if you are looking for a 2-day class, but aren't ready for Defensive Handgun, you can take Intro to Handguns paired with Concealed Carry 101 on the same weekend or separately. Handgun Fundamentals is a bridge class between Intro to Handguns and Concealed Carry 101 for students who want more practice and instruction before beginning to work from a holster.
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 the morning of the first day of class.
Women who are pregnant or nursing may not participate in live-fire training, due to risks from lead exposure and loud noise. Student must supply own handgun and other gear as specified in equipment list below.
