This class is great for the first-time gun owner, someone wanting to get better acquainted with their firearm or someone wanting the Nebraska Concealed Handgun Permit to be able to carry in one of the 32 states with reciprocity with Nebraska. I cover basic tactics, and after-action techniques that will keep you safe (both physically and legally) in a gun fight. Students must be 19 years old or accompanied by an adult. We will begin with the basics of unboxing and cleaning your firearm all the way through firing your first shot then firing shots in self-defense. Students should anticipate class lasting at least 8 hours and we will shoot 100 rounds so multiple magazines would be beneficial.
