Terror/Active Shooter Birmingham AL March 19-20

[Cruel Hand Luke]

With the headlines of current events it has become apparent that the knuckle head tweaker out to score $40 for some rock and a 40oz is not the only thing we need to prepare for and a J Frame in your coat pocket may not be enough when the enemy is highly motivated and ready to die for his cause......as such we will be offering the Terror/Active Shooter Interdiction class in Birmingham Alabama in March. 

Don't miss this opportunity to learn more about the enemy we are likely to be facing, learn strategies to not only survive, but to prevail and STOP an incident. We cover everything from precision pistol shooting both up close and at distance to disarms, knife work , improvised weapons and empty hand "problem solving" .....on the morning of July 16 no one in Chattanooga thought our city would be the location of a terror attack but it was....San Bernardino on Dec 2 was the same.....if you plan to react if you ever find yourself in the middle of this type situation then having the skills already on board and not having to figure it out on the fly will probably save your life.....

HRO-5: Terrorist / Active Shooter Interdiction
March 19-20, 2016
Birmingham, Alabama
Instructor: Randy Harris

Price: $350

This specialized class deals with solutions to the Active Shooter or the Armed Terrorist on a suicide mission. Originally designed as a class to deal solely with the armed terrorist, in answer to student's requests, we have expanded it to also include the active shooter situation as well.
On the terrorism issue, government and local law enforcement are training for the inevitable wave of terror attacks. Historically the terrorists have not relied solely on explosives, and may just as likely utilize the tactic of an active shooter. Such situations have already occurred here in the USA as seen by the Beltway Snipers, and the shootings outside CIA headquarters several years ago.
Similarly, we hear more and more daily about non-terrorist incidents like the Tacoma Mall Shooting where an individual decided to get noticed by killing innocent people in a large public place.
Although the authorities may be prepared to respond to such events, history tells us that the first line of defense is the armed citizen. It is the man or woman who finds themselves suddenly and unexpectedly in such an event that will end the killing. Will you be ready?

These events, whether begun by a terrorist, or a deranged criminal bent on killing innocents call for new tactics and a new mindset. In the Terrorism/Active Shooter Interdiction Course© you will learn extremely aggressive CQB Interdiction Techniques utilized successfully against terrorists by armed citizens overseas. You will study the possible role of the CCW Armed Citizen in stopping such an event in its tracks. You will learn to use whatever you have at your disposal (pistol, knives, impact weapons and even your bare hands) to deanimate and neutralize a terrorist, or active shooter and stop him from killing innocents.

We will also be doing a module of instruction for familiarization with the AK-47 series of rifles and the SKS series of rifles. If you have one, bring it. 

This course uses live fire, and non-live fire force on force training along with other modalities to develop the necessary aggressive fighting skills and then test them in scenarios replicating actual events. Armed Citizens are the first line of defense and the true Homeland Security. In the Al Queda video tape (which all students will view as a part of the class) the jihadists are training to attack and kill Americans at home. They are ready. Are you??



Trey Hudson will be guest lecturer on topics of history of terrorism, personal security measures and counter terrorism! Trey currently works as a Security Specialist with a government agency and in 2009 he returned from an assignment as a Force Protection/Anti-terrorism Officer in Afghanistan.

Yet another excellent class:

 

We started off the first day with a brief introduction and syllabus preview followed by a safety briefing, then hit the range for skills assessment followed by a fair amount of shooting at situational targets' critical hit zones from various ranges, and the rest of the weekend was pretty much nonstop.  Range time was interspersed with excellent presentations on the threats of terrorism and a considerable amount of close quarters combatives both armed and unarmed in a variety of situations.  Other drills included longer-range precision shooting, moving and engaging targets from cover, and a neat "beat the clock" demonstration where shooters tried to land hits on a steel target before a simulated active shooter could reload an AK and fire. 

 

The class also included an extremely enlightening component of force-on-force type training with airsoft simulating actual active shooter/terrorist attack incidents.  These scenarios were invaluable, from my perspective, for assessing one's decisionmaking skills and highlighting how difficult it is to synthesize all the incoming information in real-world-type situation and take appropriate action.  Moreover, these were just a whole lot of fun, too.

 

Although being caught up in a terrorist or active shooter situation is a vanishingly improbable occurrence for most of us, the concepts and techniques covered in the class are applicable to a much wider variety of self-defense situations.  Also, the well-prepared presentations on terrorism were very informative and may well be eye-opening to some.

 

This class was a blast and very instructive.  And even though we worked late into the evening on the first day, the volume of knowledge and drills on tap far exceeded the time we had.  The pace was quick and steady, but not ovewhelming, without much letup the whole time school was in session.  I'd highly recommend it to anyone interested in expanding their knowledge about self defense in atypical situations.

I will never forget one second graabing a hold of Trey for a demonstration move and the next second being on the other side of the room with a half gainer thrown in. And I am not a small person either. Hes got skills.

Yes, that class definitely focuses on the "Fight" part of the FBI "Run , Hide, Fight" triad. Thanks for the review !
