THE REAL IMPORTANT STUFF!!
Home Defense/Defensive
Shotgun 1 and 2


Dave's colleague and friend in training, Klint Macro of the Trigger Presser's Union based in New Kensington, PA (Outside of Pittsburgh, PA) is hosting a course for a weekend of defensive shotgun training.

On March 18 and 19, Dave will be travelling to Klint's range to teach the Home Defense, Defensive Shotgun 1 and 2 courses. The course is all new and will be dynamic and fun. You'll go through nearly 800 rds in the weekend!

We also have dates booked right here in the Rochester area as well! April 1 and 2 at the Ontario Rod and Gun club!


HDS1 will be focused primarily on you learning how to shoot and keeping the shogun loaded (aka: running the gun). Different tactics and skills will get you to think outside your comfort zone and how to begin to operate the shotgun reflexively and intuitively.

HDS2 will put more stress on you, make you think differently, shoot from different positions, and more. We've got a great set of drills and personal tests that will push you further. We'll also work on transitioning to your handgun if need be.

Tuition for the two day event is only 325.00. If you are interested, please visit this page to register: http://www.safeinrochester.com/courses.php?id=162

Street and Vehicle Tactics 

This course will give the student the ability to recognize, avoid, and if necessary WIN a violent street encounter.
This course deals with self-defense while at work, in your automobile, when traveling, and while in public settings (like restaurants, shopping malls, and theaters). More than half the course will deal with situations in and around your car.
Many courses teach you how to shoot. Our tactics courses teach you how to not have to shoot - and how to win if shooting is required.
Subjects Covered:
  • Awareness of how street crimes are committed
  • Spotting and avoiding common crimes
  • Tactics that prevent confrontations: verbal skills, body language, tactical positioning, minimizing target indicators
  • Tactics necessary to win if it comes to physical violence: use of cover, maneuver, knowledge of danger areas
  • Countering both road blocking situations and "carjacking"
  • Dealing with post-crisis management: security and containment, interaction with witnesses, interaction with responding emergency personnel and investigating Law Enforcement
 
Date: Friday thru Sunday, March 31 thru April 2 
 
Cost: 750.00
Instructor : Greg Hamilton, Founder of InSights Training Center  


 Register via THIS link for the course: http://www.insightstraining.com/view_course.asp?courseID=26 

These courses always fill up fast so commit early and ensure your spot!
 



Resident and Non Resident P ermits
 Looking to obtain a NY permit? We can provide you with a
comprehensive course that will help you obtain your NY Based Permit.

If you currently have one of the 'Restricted' or 'Hunting and TargetOnly' Permits, then this class is for you: 

If you travel a lot, and would like the ability to bring your concealed handgun with you, then the list below will help you get a Non Resident permit!  

A reminder for those of you that have non resident permits:
  • FLORIDA Non Resident Permit Holders: As of recently, the states of Pennsylvania and Washington will no longer accept your FLA Non Resident permit as valid for carry in those states. If you wish to carry in PA, you will have to go to PA and obtain a Non Resident Permit. McKean, Potter, York, Erie, Centre counties are all very friendly!

More and more ladies are coming out and learning about carrying concealed and the skills that go along with it. Some nights will be on the range shooting and once in a while, we will be visiting other subjects such as retention, pepper spray, low light, etc...we will cover safety, operation in a non target shooting environment, carry methods and guns, some defensive skills, and some live fire fun!
LADIES ONLY BASIC DEFENSIVE PISTOL 

This is the ladies basic defensive pistol and intro to handguns course. Based on the NRA's Basic Pistol, this class will help you learn firearms safety, what gun is best for you, how to maintain your handgun, and show you how to use the shooting fundamentals to enjoy going to the range and have fun practicing!

Streamlined for those of you that are going to carry for personal protection, we have added topics that YOU the students have requested: defensive use, how to carry concealed, and more.

Pepper spray can be an effective tool in your goal of personal safety. As with any tool, you must learn how to use it properly to avoid becoming a liability to yourself or others. This class will not only tell you about the what, when, and how, but you will get to practice with inert sprays to test your skills.
