NRA Basic Personal Protection Inside the Home
Description
Unlike the other
basic courses, the Personal Protection course from Best Handgun Training covers defensive
shooting. Self-defense is a topic somewhat distinct from the regular diet of shooting fundamentals, it can cover
mindset, legal issues, decision-making under pressure, and planning for the worst. The Basic Personal Protection in
the Home course is designed around the use of the defensive pistol.
This course takes about eight hours, depending on the class
size.
Students will receive
the NRA Guide to the Basics of
Personal Protection in the Home handbook and intensive lessons on basics of
defensive shooting, issues of self-defense, and other strategies for protecting the home and
family.

Prerequisites
Participants in
the Personal Protection course should be experienced shooters, showing mastery of the basic skills of safe gun
handling. If necessary, this course will put participant's through a pre-course evaluation exercise, where
potential students are asked to demonstrate safe gun handling, shoot a series of five-shot groups, discuss the
operations necessary to zero a pistol, and demonstrate how to properly clean a handgun.
Participants are expected to show validation of
shooting experience by showing an NRA Basic Pistol Course certificate, an NRA Marksmanship
Qualification Program certificate, a Pistol qualification card, a DD 214
card with pistol qualification, or a Concealed Carry Permit.
Finally, the
Personal Protection course is intended for mature law-abiding adults, who have the mindset and seriousness
necessary to properly perform the activities in the course. Self-defense is not a topic where distractions are
tolerated.
Course Completion
Instructors will
provide feedback on the shooting exercises, and issue an NRA certificate upon successful completion of the lessons.
Not only are shooting standards fired during the practical exercises, but a written exam will be given at the end
of the course.
