NRA Personal Protection in the Home is the organization's introductory self defense course. This course is very introductory and suitable to a wide range of audiences. The class bridges the gap between a basic introduction to handgun course and what I would consider a traditional defensive pistol skills course. This course is split approximately 50/50 classroom and live fire. Students will be given a refresher in the NRA's 3 rules of firearms safety and have an open discussion about ethical responsibility, mindset, mental awareness, & psychological/physiological reactions to a shooting. Presentations also include discussion about the use of force. Students will fire approximately 100-150 rounds depending on experience level of those attending and of course ammunition availability. Live fire exercises include shooting fundamentals, firing multiple shots, cover/concealment and shooting from the kneeling position.

This is an NRA course so expect some political correctness, but I assure you that the topics and presentation are very adult in nature. This course does meet the requirements for a FL non-resident CWL and I will have the applications available.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Worth the time & money... Solid range time + well rounded classroom discussion...

Would you clarify this? What kind of political correctness are you talking about? My brain does not compute. I can't imagine. For example, "Don't shoot gays just for being gay" would seem like good legal and ethical advice. Are you supposed to teach your students to respect people who carry a small caliber with a short barrel, even when size clearly matters? Or do you mean there is a whole section on not grabbing boobs and asses?

LOL. No. Although your buttocks will be safe.

Examples. NRA does not want us referring to a gun as a weapon, rather it is a tool of last resort or a firearm. We don't shoot to kill, we stop the threat. We don't use humanoid targets. Basically the organization doesn't want you posting pictures on Facebook of people shooting Osama Bin Laden targets at an NRA course.

NRA says that, but what you say in your classroom is your business. Just make sure you use the disclaimer.

Although your buttocks will be safe.

It is a "personal" protection class, after all. Hope your students will learn to handle and enjoy their tools.

Back up. This is a great introductory class and is really well suited for couples to do together. Comfortable facilities with a lot of personal attention on the firing line.

I had some questions about the pre-requisite requirements for this course. I would encourage you to refer to the AARs linked in the first post. NRA specifies Basic Pistol as a requirement. To be honest I have attended courses with no pre-requisite that were faster paced then PPITH. If you have firearms experience then I see no reason why a person could not attend. There are however people out there that have never handled a gun and might be nervous about shooting in front of other people. If that is the situation I would like to set up a time to work with them for a few hours so they feel prepared. If a person has some shooting experience, a positive attitude and feels comfortable safely loading, unloading and maintaining their firearm then I would be happy to have them in class.

Bump. Going to order a few more student packets today. I am expecting small enrollment for this one. It is still winter outside. Should be a great value for those in attendance. Plan is to break in a new assistant instructor this time round.
