NRA Personal Protection
So you are ready to carry concealed. You have the gun. You've got the Concealed Carry Permit from the state. You've even fired forty or fifty rounds at a paper target.
Whether you want to admit it or not, you are not prepared for a real life encounter.
Can you honestly answer "yes" to the following questions:
- Do you know how to draw from concealement while you are in shock and afraid?
- Can you complete the draw perfectly, the FIRST time, and shoot within two seconds?
- Can you shoot an attacker WHEN you need to and WHERE you need to?
- Can you hit your target WITH or WITHOUT using the sights?
- What if you can't see your sights or it is dark?
- Can you reload or fix a malfunction during a gunfight?
- Can you shoot---and hit your target---while on the move?
Your CCH permit satisfies the state, but it DOES NOT prepare you for a real life encounter. Your attacker has the element of surprise and will choose the time, place, and circumstances in which you must defend your life. Do you have the skills necessary to survive?
OTC offers the NRA Personal Protection Courses for Inside and Outside the Home. In these courses you will learn the answers to the above questions and much more. You will also gain the skills to safely protect yourself and your loved ones should it ever become necessary. You will learn how to clear your home when an intruder is inside; how to safeguard your loved ones; how to use a flashlight, laser, handgun, or shotgun in your home; how to avoid confrontations outside the home; what to do when you can't avoid a confrontation; how to properly use cover, create distance between you and your attacker, and when necessary, how to shoot on the move and from unusual positions. Check the individual courses, Personal Protection Inside the Home and Outside the Home, for more information.
