Armed Citizens’ Rules of Engagement

This is a two-day, 20-hour immersion course in rules of engagement for armed law-abiding private citizens, emphasizing legal issues, tactical issues, and aftermath management. Topics will include interacting with suspects, witnesses, responding police officers…threat recognition and mind-set…management of social and psychological aftermath after having had to use lethal force in defense of self or others…and preparing beforehand for legal repercussions and minimizing exposure to them. Situations in the home, at the place of business, or “on the street†will all be covered. Prerequisite: none.

This is a very intensive classroom course that runs from 8:00am until 6:00pm both days. The training will take place in the comfortable classrooms at Rangemaster, with modern audio/visual equipment. There are numerous hotels and restaurants literally within blocks of Rangemaster.

Optional Third Day

Handgun Skills, with Tom Givens

Monday, August 1, 2011

This is an intensive full day of live-fire range training on Rangemaster’s comfortable, air conditioned indoor range. Students will fire between 350 and 400 rounds of ammunition in drills designed to enhance marksmanship ability, ingrain gunhandling skills that will hold up under duress, and reinforce sound tactical principles. Both daylight and low light firing will be conducted and the class runs from 8:00 am until 6:00 pm. This class is not suitable for beginners.

COST

Tuition for MAG-20 is $400. The optional third day for live fire training is $200. A deposit of $200 will hold your space for either or both segments, with the balance due no later than 15 days prior to class date. Ammunition will be available at low cost on site.

Am I reading this correctly that you can attend the skills course without having attended the informational course? Not that we wouldn't all like to get to hear from Ayoob.

[RobertNashville]

I'm in for all three days (although I'll have to call and make the deposit).

One of my personal goals this year was to get in some good training...I'm taking a 2-day fighting pistol course from Tactical Response March 31/April 1 and a Defensive Carbine course from Sealed Mindset (in Atlanta) on April 3. I'm looking forward to all of them!

[Guest Tom Givens]

Mas is strictly covering legal and tactical issues in the classroom, not shooting technique. So, you can take the live fire day without Ayoob's portion, if you wish. However, I HIGHLY recommend his classroom work for anyone who carries a gun.
