SEMINAR:  Using a Firearm for Protection – Plain Talk! 

This 3-hour seminar covers Alaska Law & Statutes for using lethal force to protect yourself or others without the legal mumbo-jumbo.  Just having a gun will not protect you!  Practicing and training with your gun and knowing when to use it will better protect you.   We will discuss when you can justifiably use a firearm for self-defense and when you can’t.  We will cover real-life examples of situations that you could find yourself (in & outside your home) where use of your firearm may be warranted and legal.  The important questions you must ask yourself then are: Can I use lethal force in this situation & more importantly, should I?   Dates in 2025 are to be determined but please let me know if you are interested.

ABOUT OUR COURSES

Courses are conducted in a very relaxed and open classroom setting where there are no dumb questions. In the Basic Handgun Course, there may be some participants who have never held or fired a handgun, some only once or twice, but all wish to be more knowledgeable about firearms, how they operate and how to safely shoot and handle them. Topics include discussions on how to safely have & store firearms in the home—especially when there are children around.

Participants do not need to own a firearm for the Basic Handgun Course. I will provide any firearms necessary for both the class times and for the range. No other firearms or ammunition will be allowed in the classroom or at the range.

Participants taking the Alaska Concealed Handgun Permit Course must have their own firearm and be very familiar with its operation as this is not a “learn how to shoot” course.  Please see the Personalized Instruction Page if you would like help to be more proficient with your handgun or would like to handle and shoot various handguns to find the best one for you before you buy.

I am available (for a small fee) as a speaker for lunch / dinner groups on topics such as: gun safety in the home; personal protection in the home and when out and about; etc. Additionally, I can present the Active Shooter Seminar at your location or for your group as well.   Please call or email to coordinate.

NOTE:
As classroom locations vary due to class size and availability, you will be informed of the location prior to the course date.
