USCCA Home Defense

The USCCA Home Defense class is a defensive handgun course for those who are interested in using a firearm for home defense.

The United States Concealed Carry Association is one of the preeminent training organizations in the country. USCCA Home Defense is an informational and hands-on class in what you can do to make your home a less attractive target to criminals and the use of a firearm for home defense.

The class covers firearms handling safety, range safety, home safety, and defensive skills relevant to defending your home. We summarize the legal, psychological, and law-enforcement response issues involved in using a firearm for home defense. We practice basic handling, operation, and shooting skills with training guns, “dry” in the classroom. The course concludes with live-fire session on the range allowing students to train with their own defensive handgun (rentals available) through a series of defensive drills specifically designed to increase your competencies with the skills needed for home defense including low light shooting, moving and shooting, and the use of cover.

This course will consist of about 4 hours of classroom material and practice, and about 2 hours of live-fire range time but sometimes runs a bit longer, based on student questions.

The class will include the use of a rental gun at no additional cost. Students should bring 125 rounds of practice ammo for their gun of choice.
