The Concealed Carry & Home Defense Fundamentals Academy includes the following courses:
Developing a Home and Personal Protection Plan
Developing a personal & home protection plan is a key component of not only preparing for how we should (or might) react if confronted by a violent crime, but also how we might avoid violent crime in the first place. Within this lesson, Michael Martin explains that developing a protection plan is about much more than becoming proficient with a firearm or writing up a home invasion plan. It's a plan that must encompass awareness, avoidance, and preparation, so that we're less likely to find ourselves in a situation where we have no other option than to use our firearm, rather than more likely.
Self Defense Firearm Basics
This lesson will introduce you to a wealth of information on different types of self-defense firearms including handguns, home defense shotguns, and the AR-15 platform, where Michael Martin provides easy to understand explanations of the common terms used so frequently. The goal of this lesson is to demystify what can sometimes feel like a topic reserved for experts.
Defensive Shooting Fundamentals
This lesson will continue with the basics, including a very visual overview of what we call the "building blocks" or the fundamentals for accurate and safe shooting. Within this lesson, Michael Martin will explain the differences between the skills required for being a good "marksman" at the range, and the skills that might be required to save your life if you are ever the subject of a violent attack.
The Legal Use of Force
In this lesson, Michael Martin will cover important legal topics, including the laws governing the legal use of force inside and outside the home. Within this lesson, you'll get a chance to test what you've learned, using several real world scenarios with you as the actor.
Violent Encounters and The Aftermath
This lesson explains what physical and mental reactions may occur when a human undergoes extreme stress, such as during an incident involving deadly force. It also explains what you should do immediately after using force to defend yourself. Also, when law enforcement arrives, it is crucial that you conduct yourself in the correct manner and prepare yourself for the consequences, even when you are in the right.
Gear and Gadgets
Walk into any gun shop, and the variety of gear and gadgets available can be a bit overwhelming. Gun vaults, holsters, lights, lasers-where do you start? In this lesson, Michael Martin will explain each of those pieces of gear, and he'll discuss the options you should consider when you're ready to go shopping.
