Tactics and Firearms Handling (4 Hours)
Movement and Response Principles
for the Armed Protector

Overview
This course focuses on behavioral-based
responses for armed protectors, including
decision making in and around crowds
during an active threat. Students will practice
techniques using demo weapons and holsters
(provided).

The importance of training armed protectors to
move through crowded environments and
handle weapons properly cannot be overstated.
Preparation is required in order to make proper,
time-compressed decisions in worst-case
scenarios.

This course includes drills for a variety of
weapon carry positions and movements. You’ll
learn how to apply these principles in different
environments and contexts.

This training is conducted at a church and will
conclude with several scenarios where students
will have an opportunity to practice simulations
of a real event.
