8:00AM, 10 hour class, Cost $160.00. You can register on-line at http://home.comcast.net/~safety-instructor

Location: Mansfield, MA

Short Description: Teaches the basic knowledge, skills, and attitude essential to the safe and efficient use of a handgun for protection of self and family, and to provide information on the law-abiding individual’s right to self-defense. This class is for experienced shooters and is not a Basic Safety Class for purposes of applying for a Mass. LTC or FID.

More Details: This is an ten-hour course. Students should expect to shoot approximately 100 rounds of ammunition. Students will learn basic defensive shooting skills, strategies for home safety and responding to a violent confrontation, firearms and the law, how to choose a handgun for self-defense, and continued opportunities for skill development.

This is not a “beginner’s class” for new shooters. You should have some prior pistol shooting experience. It is much more than just a routine shooting course. It is important that participants have sufficient maturity and life experiences to be able to assess various situations and make mature decisions.

Equipment Required for course:

• Revolver or Semi-auto pistol - .38Spl/.380/9mm minimum caliber
• Appropriate holster (no pocket or shoulder holsters allowed) – IWB or OWB only
• 2 magazines/speedstrips/speed-loaders (should have 3 minimum if possible)
• 100 rds minimum (recommend 150-200)
• Eye and Ear protection

You can register on-line at http://home.comcast.net/~safety-instructor A minimum deposit of $20 per person is required. NOTE: If you pay in full and payment is received by Friday, August 31, 2012, please take a $10.00 discount (therefore cost would be $150.00).


PPIH addresses the following:

What do I do when the police shows up?
What do I do with the gun?
When do you talk to the police?
When do you talk with a lawyer?
Are you prepared for the aftermath of a self-defense event?

The NRA Basic Personal Protection in the Home Course exposes students to several schools of thought regarding defensive shooting techniques. It is designed to enhance basic skills: Reloading, Emphasis on technique – “Slow is smooth and smooth is fast” – students should only go as fast as they can smoothly execute a skill, Defensive accuracy – balance between speed and accuracy. Students shoot as fast as they can while still hitting the target every time. Intro to Defensive Shooting, Basic Defensive Pistol Skills, Firearms and the Law: Possession, Ownership and the Use of Deadly Force, Strategies for Home Safety and Responding to a Violent Confrontation, Selecting a Pistol for Self-Defense.

NOTE: I do not know if this course will influence your chief to issue an unrestricted LTC-A, but more education and understanding of the responsibilities of gun ownership will never hurt your case.

If you are interested but not sure if you qualify, please send a PM or Email to me with info on your prior experience, include your phone number in case I need to talk with you and I will get back to you.

Still a few seats left.
