Home Defense
Class Overview
Our Home Defense course will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of how to prepare one’s homes in order to deter and protect against intruders, as well as how to handle a variety of life-threatening scenarios in their homes. We will cover the planning and implementation of defensive procedures. This will include an introduction to a number of defensive tools as an alternative to firearms such as tasers, pepper spray, etc.
Students will learn how to safeguard their homes by identifying soft points, making their homes more secure with simple measures, assisting family members in an emergency, and if the situation arises, dealing with a home invasion and possible armed intruder using whatever force necessary to stop the threat.
Class will be held at an offsite location where we will conduct a variety of home invasion scenarios. Students will have to think on their feet to effectively identify and address the problem. Simunitions will be used – this is NOT a live fire class.
