More Information
Take a look at the headlines of any major newspaper & you can tell that these are difficult times. Turn on CNN & you?ll hear reports of wars & terrorist attacks. It doesn?t take much to convince people that their safety is in jeopardy. With official resources spread so thin, more & more, people are taking the responsibility for their own safety. For many, the first step in doing so is to consider a firearm as part of the solution.
Just as owning a piano doesn?t make you a musician, simply owning a firearm doesn?t make you prepared to defend yourself or your family. There are legal & ethical responsibilities as well as a host of practical issues to take into consideration. In addition, the dynamics of a life or death encounter demand the proper mind set, tactical skills & shooting ability if you hope to survive.
Increasingly, those in the military & law enforcement communities are also looking to supplement their official training. As time & finances run short, agencies are often forced to cut all but mandatory training. This leaves officers & military personnel to deal with rapidly increasing threats using reduced skills & confidence in their survivability. Constantly, these professionals face the need to spend their own time & money to obtain the training that they need to accomplish their missions.
The goal of this manual is to lay a solid foundation on which to build a lifestyle anchored by protection & safety. With the objective of giving the individual control of his or her immediate environment, this foundation can be combined with hands-on training & diligent practice, to provide a real sense of security for you & those you seek to protect.
It should be stressed that a manual such as this is only the first step in this process. The principles, tactics & skills taught here MUST be developed through professional training that is grounded in the real world. At all costs, you should avoid any training that is based on the concepts gleaned from target shooting, so called ?practical? competition or out-dated methods. These things are a substantial hindrance to surviving a deadly force encounter. In short, they can get you KILLED!
Beginning with a thorough discussion of the principles of personal protection, we then dissect an overview of personal security considerations. This manual then hopes to offer basic skills as a starting point for the novice & as a review to polish the ability of the experienced shooter. It progresses to more advanced skills & tactics, as well as detailed considerations that are specific to each type of weapon (handgun, shotgun & rifle).
This manual is unique in that it contains detailed lesson plans in outline form as well as courses of fire & score sheets. In addition, there are handouts that may be reproduced & distributed if this manual is used in a small group training environment. Created in modular form, each section of this manual can be used independent of the others. While this makes for some redundancy in the printed material, it adds great flexibility for its presentation in training.
