GSL Defense Training’s
National Rifle Association Personal Protection in the Home

Course goal: To develop 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 right to self-defense.  This class covers a review of the NRA gun safety rules, how to use firearms responsibly and ethically for personal protection, as well as developing the proper mindset for using a firearm for personal defense and when facing a life-threatening encounter.  Also covered will be mental awareness, how to avoid becoming a victim, strategies for home safety, responding to a violent confrontation in your home and basic defensive shooting tactics.  We’ll teach you gun ownership laws and more importantly, an in-depth discussion on the judicious use of deadly force including when deadly force is justified against “unarmed” aggressors.

Additional topics and activities included by GSL Defense Training above and beyond the NRA Personal Protection in the Home Course:  We will discuss interactions with potential assailants, the moral and ethical decision-making involved with deadly force, malfunction clearing drills and weapon retention strategies.  Also, post-shooting interventions with witnesses, responding & investigating officers, the media and others will be covered.  We will included a final shooting scenario to incorporate the lessons students have learned into a real-life shooting exercise.

Students will spend several hours on the range with live-fire both days. Students will fire approximately 250 rounds.

A Firearms Owners ID Card is recommended, but NOT REQUIRED.  Novice shooters are welcome!
