There is an abundance of “Tactical Training” available, but the focus in those courses tends to lean toward Military/Law Enforcement/Special Operator type training. While interesting and fun, this type of training generally fails to prepare a person for the types of “real world” situations they might realistically encounter.Shooters Guild 801 offers a series of courses that guide students step-by-step through the development of skills, attitudes and thought processes necessary to become prepared to defend themselves, and others, in life-threatening situations. In short, these courses allow ordinary people to become Responsibly Armed Citizens.THE RESPONSIBLY ARMED CITIZENBecoming a Responsibly Armed Citizen involves much more than just owning a gun. Carrying a gun for protection involves risks to both yourself and those around you. Responsibly Armed Citizens mitigate those risks by:1. Learning the rules and mastering the practices of safe gun handling2. Becoming highly skilled in the use of firearms by obtaining training that goes well above and beyond a Concealed Carry course3. Maintaining their skill set through consistent practice of both “Dry Fire” drills and “Live Fire” practice4. Developing a deep understanding the laws that govern concealed carry, and the use of force 5. Learning, and vigilantly practicing, principles of "Situational Awareness" and "Conflict Avoidance"6. Protecting themselves and their families from the devastating emotional, legal, and financial aftermath of a self-defense encounter involving a firearmBecoming a Responsibly Armed Citizen allows individuals to experience the peace of mind that comes with knowing that wherever they go, everyone is safer because of their presence.
