And while personal security is a fund amental human need\, it is ultimately a personal responsibility. In the mo ment of truth\, the “lifeguards” of society simply won’t be there to protect us - whether from street crime or the potential of mass homicide. We are\, in effect\, on our own.\n\nYet violence is never random. Even th e most desperate predator is careful in selecting his victims. And “bad guys” of all types – from the street criminal to the active shooter al ways follow a predictable continuum of behavior the elements of which can be identified—in advance—by easily spotted “indicators”—if you k now what to look for.\n\n \;\n\nHere’s a snapshot of what we will co ver: (Sam Rosenberg morning sessions classroom sessions)\n\n How to recog nize danger – specifically\, how to recognize if you are being targeted\ n How to recognize persuasion predators - masters of using charm and pers uasion to create opportunities to victimize – as easily as a mugger wear ing a ski mask.\n How to recognize and manage "interviews" that always pr ecede an attack\, to disrupt attack patterns before they can materialize\n How to use improvised weapons\, such as pens\, flashlights\, and cell ph ones as powerful force multipliers to incapacitate an aggressor\, without having to resort to deadly force.\n How to overcome paralysis and panic e ven in a critical incident\, and the key to mastering your mind under stre ss—so you can always think\, make decisions\, and act\n When and how to use a remarkably simple gun disarm that works against handguns\, and long guns\, in defense of yourself or another\, from varying distances and cir cumstances\n How to counter and defend against handgun disarms\, from hol ster and deployment\n How to defend against a knife attack while getting unarmed\, or as a bridge and transition to CCW\n\nHere’s a snapshot of w hat we will cover: (Norm Hood afternoon range sessions)\n\n Firearm funda mentals (we can never get enough fundamentals)\n Close quarters shooting and shooting from retention (2 different ways)\n Movement to and away fro m an attacker\n Managing family members in a confrontation\n Getting off the “X”\n\nWhat to do\, and how to do it— in hours\, rather than ye ars.\n\n \;\nRequired Equipment for Handgun portion:\n\n\n A modern\ , serviceable\, firearm\n 3 magazines or more\n Optics if desired\n Ear and eye protection\n Sturdy shoes\n Long pants\n Shirt with higher col lar\n Ammunition: 250 rounds factory fresh ammo only.
