Fundamentals of Armed Self Defense

Indy Arms Fundamentals of Armed Self-Defense addresses the important questions that almost everyone has about the legal framework, psychological issues, and tactical realities of an armed self-defense encounter. In the real world, these events are never the way they are portrayed in the media, and the “folk wisdom” that surrounds the subject is usually dangerously wrong. This class is designed to give the individual who already possesses or carries a firearm for self-defense a basic understanding of the issues involved, and to assist those who are contemplating this in making an informed decision. This class has been developed by experts on Indy Arms staff, including nationally recognized authors and presenters, career law-enforcement trainers, and court recognized experts in use-of-force.

This course is a combination of classroom information and time spent in the Indy Arms’ Video Simulator room, dealing with realistic use-of-force encounters.  The class is six hours in length, and is co-taught by Guy Relford and Tony Gregory.

Part one of this course deals with the major legal issues involved in armed self-defense.  Part two will focus on recognizing and dealing with the psychological and physiological responses to a critically threatening event.  Part three will address dealing with the aftermath of a critically threatening encounter, including what to expect in the law enforcement response. In part four, students will deal with “real-time” extremely realistic encounters in the video simulator.

Students will receive a detailed course handout and additional information on available resources.
