Intro to Gun Handling

Wondering if you should buy a handgun? Already have one but want to be more knowledgeable and proficient? This series of classes is for you. We will cover the legal aspects of defending your home, the need to have a plan, safety and handling, shoot/don't shoot scenarios, and range time. 


Our instructors are: Paul Morrison, former Diplomatic Protection for Margaret Thatcher, law enforcement officers, and army personnel. 


The entire class time will utilize airsoft pistols - giving novice handlers a chance to familiarize themselves with the feel of a handgun - without the initial fear of handling and shooting a gun. An airsoft gun looks and feels like the real thing but shoots plastic bb's as ammunition. It feels like "real steel" but is not - it is an exact replica airsoft handgun.
