May 18, Yadkinville, NC| Contextual Handgun: Home Defense

THERE IS A $30 RANGE FEE THAT STUDENTS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AT THE START OF CLASS

To be secure in our homes requires more than a gun in the sock drawer. “Home Defense” means a layered plan involving multiple disciplines to make your home uninviting to intruders, difficult to sneak around the exterior of your property, difficult to enter, difficult to navigate, and impossible for intruders to dominate. Come spend eight hours with Chris Cypert of Citizens Defense Research as we discover how to make our homes as secure as possible, and examine how best to protect ourselves and our loved ones while at home.

This one-day course consists of three hours of presentation/discussion, and five hours of range time exploring the essential cognitive and technical skills needed to avoid, deter, recognize threats, and prevail in a violent encounter in and around the home.

Topics covered include:

-Digital Security

-Physical Security

-Surveillance Options

-Shaping the Visual Environment (Interior and Exterior)

-Contingency Planning

-Staging and storage of defensive tools (firearms, less-lethal, medical, etc.)

Class Cancellation Policy:

The only way we can know that a class is full is when the specified number of students have registered and paid their tuition fees. Once a class is full, we have to turn away others who would like to attend. If you cancel too close to class, or fail to show up for class, you potentially keep someone else from attending and would cost us a student. Please be sure you can attend a class before signing up for it. In order to minimize this, we have strict policies on prepayment and cancellation.To secure a slot in a course full payment is required unless otherwise specified.• Cancellations by a student inside the thirty day window of when class will be held are non-refundable but creditable to another Citizens Defense Research class anywhere the student wishes to train, within 18 months of the cancellation.• Cancellations by students the week of the course will be non-refundable and will receive no credit.• Cancellations by Citizens Defense Research will be fully refunded within 14 calendar days.We believe this policy is fair to you, to other students, and to us. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!
