Basic Defensive Handgun – Ladies Only

Basic Defensive Handgun is a practical classroom and hands-on class in the use of a handgun in self- defense. Jeff Cooper, the legendary founder of Gunsite Academy, is quoted as having said, “Owning a handgun doesn’t make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician.”And although marksmanship skill is critical to the ability to use a handgun in self-defense, marksmanship alone is not sufficient.

This class addresses the basic information, skills, and situations relating to the use of a handgun as a self defense tool. The class provides an overview of the legal, psychological, and law-enforcement response issues are addressed. (These are also covered in greater depth a separate Indy Arms classroom courses; Fundamentals of Armed Self-Defense and USCCA Concealed Carry.)

The class focuses on the fundamental safety, marksmanship and manipulation skills required to use a handgun effectively. (Carrying, drawing, and the associated equipment are covered in a separate Indy Arms hands-on course, Tactical Handgun I, II, and III.) This course will consist of about 2 ½ hours of classroom and “dry” handling and drills, and about 1 ½ hours of live-fire range time. The class is nominally four hours in length, but may sometimes run a little run longer, depending on attendance and the number of questions.

This class has been developed by experts on Indy Arms staff, including nationally recognized authors and presenters, and career firearms instructors and law-enforcement trainers, and will be taught by experts in this field.

The class will include the use of a rental gun at no additional cost, if desired. Students will also have the opportunity to handle, load, and fire several different types of handguns in .22 caliber. Students may use their own defensive handgun.

Ammunition for the .22 caliber firearms, and 10 rounds of centerfire (defensive caliber) ammunition is included with the course. Students will receive a detailed course handout and additional information on available resources.
