Independence Firearms & Training

***This class will be held inside the Classroom & Laser Simulation ***

The Work & Public Spaces Defense Class is held in our laser range. This class is designed for all individuals, families, and safety teams. We will take your work & public defensive training to the next level so you can be the best protector for yourself, your family and coworkers. During the first hour, we will discuss steps to deter an invasion, the best practices for dealing with work and public defense, invasions, and how to put a plan in place for your family and coworkers in both situations. Then we will put those skills to the test with video scenario drills for two hours. Students are able to interact with real-life shoot or no-shoot scenarios. The course focuses on situational awareness, threat assessment, and reacting to life-threatening scenarios. We cover how to handle the aftermath of a deadly force situation with the police, emergency responders, and other people involved, and where the event occurred with bystanders.

Students can see first hand how seconds count when things go wrong. Even a momentary hesitation or freeze may make the difference between staying safe and a much worse outcome. After just a few scenarios, it’s easy to see how the phrase “When seconds count, the police are only minutes away” truly applies to self-defense situations. We aim to build the right mindset and skills for students to become their own first responders.

The best way to prepare for a highly stressful self-defense situation is to practice. There’s no better way to practice than putting yourself in real-life video scenarios and having a knowledgeable instructor guide you on the best course of action. Unfortunately, you don’t get a second chance in real life to make the right decisions when these events happen. However, we offer a safe classroom setting allowing students to learn the proper self-defense skills, practice what they learned with that second chance, and better survive a deadly force encounter.

We offer 3 Video Scenario Self Defense Classes for Home, Vehicle & Workplace. This allows you to take the video scenario class several times and train with different scenarios and situation focus in each class. These scenario classes are the most important classes you can take to prepare yourself mentally for potentially deadly situations and encounters. Even if you do not carry a gun, this class helps improve your decision-making skills in these dangerous situations.
