On Saturday, June 29th, 2019 CSA will be hosting the good Doctor Sherman House and his excellent Civilian Defender Hemorrhage Arrest Course (HAC) at our classroom at 752 E Northfield Blvd in Murfreesboro TN.

Whether you're new to tactical casualty care or in need of a refresher course, you owe it to yourself and your family to attend. Clink here for details and to register. Thanks for your time, Aq

Hey, everybody, and Happy New Year! Citizens Safety Academy has an NRA Instructor course coming up the weekend of January 18th, but that class is almost sold out. If you want to squeeze into that one, please send us an email ASAP. Otherwise, our next NRA Basic Pistol and NRA Pistol Instructor combo weekend is coming up in March. For those who would like to teach handgun carry permit classes or NRA pistol classes, we're offering the NRA's two-day pistol instructor certification course. And if you haven't already had NRA Basic Pistol (now a prerequisite for instructor certification), we have that class the day before, so you can cover everything in one weekend.

This course covers the universal safety rules, the fundamentals of marksmanship, and pistol operation, selection, storage, and maintenance. Great for brand new shooters, veteran shooters looking for a refresher or training documentation, and everyone in between. Participants will need a reliable handgun, eye and ear protection, approximately 100 rounds of ammunition, an open mind, and a positive attitude. Please let us know in advance if you think you'll need to borrow a handgun or purchase ammo from us. More Details & Registration: https://citizenssafety.com/event/nra-basic-pistol-mar-2019/ (or see our Eventbrite page) NRA Pistol Instructor Certification Course When & Where: Sat-Sun, March 30-31, 2019 Name of Training Organization: Citizens Safety Academy (CSA) Name of Instructors: Tiffany Johnson and Aqil Qadir Cost of Training: $225.00 Course Info: This is not a shooting course; instead, it's for experienced shooters who are interested in teaching others about handgun safety and marksmanship. We'll cover adult learning theory, best practices for effective instruction in the classroom and on the range, and ways to properly teach the NRA's Basic Pistol lesson plans. Participants will need a reliable handgun, eye and ear protection, approximately 100 rounds of ammunition, an open mind, and a positive attitude. Prerequisite: The NRA now requires everyone to take NRA Basic Pistol before they can take the Pistol Instructor course. Sorry, no exceptions (even if you're the world's greatest super-duper-commando-special-forces-SWAT-top-shot-SEAL-sniper-operator, LOL). If you've already had NRA Basic Pistol, you can just send us your certificate and you're good to go.

Hey Everybody - We're rolling out a new co-ed class from Citizens Safety Academy called After the Permit (ATP). It's two levels, and we've got level 1 scheduled for early October in Murfreesboro. ATP-1 is a four-hour course that continues where the TN Handgun Permit class ends. This course was designed by @aqil Qadir as a stepping stone between the basic TN permit class for more advanced classes like NRA Defensive Pistol or other full-day or two-day classes with higher round-counts and holster work. Hope some of you will come out. Company: Citizens Safety Academy Instructors: @aqil Qadir and @Tiffany Johnson (and the CSA crew) When: Saturday, Oct. 6, 2018, 9am to 1pm Where: CSA HQ, 752 East Northfield Boulevard, Murfreesboro, TN 37130 (live-fire at the OK Corral in Woodbury) Cost: $55.00 More Info & Registration: https://citizenssafety.com/event/atp1-oct-2018/ (or you can register on Eventbrite) Contact Email: Aqil@CitizensSafety.com Let us know if you're interested.
