A Word on Firearms Training

Professional firearms training is one area we specialize in. Owning firearms is a right and responsibility that we will help you benefit from. People today and always will be concerned with protecting themselves, their family and community.

 To be able to effectively protect yourself requires skills that are not common knowledge. Moral, legal and tactical concerns exist that require specialized professional training. Without this training a person using a firearm for self-defense is at a great risk.

 The firearm is a representation of responsibility and power that every individual possesses. The use of that power is what our training is all about. We believe in promoting and developing that individual power and responsibility.

We know that everyone at least once will by violently assaulted in their lives. You may or may not have a handgun at the time of the situation, but the knowledge, awareness and skills that you have will double your chances of survival. This is significant. Many of our students before attending our courses have experienced violent crime and it's losses. An ounce of prevention equals a pound of cure.

Here at Personal Security Consulting we are not paranoid. We expect that violent crime will happen and we are willing to stop it personally. In addition, we believe safety from crime is an individual and social responsibility, not a right granted or guaranteed by someone else.

 

A Word on Development of the Inner Circle of Family, Coworkers, Neighbors and Friends

In all our training programs we place emphasis on the inner circle of family, coworkers, neighbors and friends working to together in prevention, during and after an incident. Special group rates for your inner circle are part of our program to encourage you to bring the people who are close to you. It is in your and their best interest to be trained together. Training with your inner circle with us is a great experience.

There are numerous exercises in our programs to develop group cooperation and safety. Even with individual skills we use partner exercises to accelerate your learning- especially in firearms safety skills.

Before signing up alone for our program consult with your inner circle and family. You will receive a special group rate to encourage their participation in our program.

Young Person Participation is Highly Encouraged

Persons under 18 may attend Personal Security Consulting's proprietary firearms training programs. 14 year olds are the youngest that should come. 18 year olds or younger must attend the program with a parent or guardian.

A $25 dollar token charge is per teenager. Parents should take care in counseling with their teenagers before attending to determine if they have the ability and attitude to learn.

 Parents may also limit participation in the class as they deem to be in the best interest of their teenager. All Teenagers that have attended our programs have learned firearms safety, ethical and legal information effectively.

 These programs are excellent for a young person. However space for teenagers is limited, class sizes are limited because of adult participation.

There are some limitations with teenager participation.  Teenagers may not take advanced training courses. The NRA Personal Protection series programs are limited to adults 21 years old by National Rifle Association Policy. However, the NM basic handgun program is available to be audited by young people with adult supervision.

Verifying that a firearm is clear by having another person check is a great way to learn how to verify a firearm is clear by yourself.

How to be Effective and Safe with Firearms

The above video provides detailed instructions by Fred Behnken on handgun handling and firearm safety.

The most practical, time and cost effective way to gain the knowledge, skills and ability to use firearms for self-defense purposes is to attend a professional training course. A regular practice routine will ensure good awareness, proper handgun function and dependable fighting skills. Attending advanced training will accelerate your skill development to a high level.

Basic Combative Handgun Course

Concealed Handgun Licensing, Self Defense and Security Training

This is the premier basic handgun program for self defense. The course is for self defense, home defense, concealed handgun licensing and security training. The name course says everything. The course is designed for one purpose- to survive and win a violent confrontation.

The program is carefully constructed from the best training methods available in the firearms training industry. Scientific research and operational history from real shooting situations have been used in the construction of this program. The combative handgun course is not a recreational shooting program. If your goal is self defense this is the program you should take. The program is prioritized:

Weapon Safety is thoroughly covered in the first half day of the program. Participants will learn the “Three Weapon Safety Rules” that will help them be safe and effective with any weapon. Firearms etiquette, range and home safety are all covered well.

Tactics Training our famous tactics exercise conducted at lunch time, prepared before hand with awareness and tactical principals is conducted in small groups. From the beginning, it is important to know how to work with your inner circle of family, friends, coworkers or bystanders to stay in the safest position possible. Likewise, protecting bystanders and your self from fratricide ( you being shot by mistake) are critical skills taught in our program.

At the range you will learn how to stop and attacker with good tactics and communications. Shooting is taught as a last resort. Protective movement, verbal commands and the use of cover are integrated into live fire exercises because how you train will be how you survive and you will survive. This is a professional level handgun course based on your needs.

A view of practicing using cover for protection at home

Training with cover at home. Learning how to get maximum protection from cover.

Training with protective cover live fire at the range

The use of cover is life saving= Practice using lattice helps the student see better how good their cover is on the live fire range.

Legal Aspects are one of a kind in this program. Legal Aspects of Self Defense are covered from a multijurisdictional perspective making your tactics and actions quick and safe. Dealing with the aftermath and the legal system is covered so that you and your inner circle are prepared.

Be sure to purchase “ The Legal Fundamentals of Deadly Force” to take home and review.

Weapon Effectiveness through proper maintenance, holsters and handling are taught through out the program.  You will learn how to shoot a handgun from concealment in our program, if you are applying for a concealed permit. All participants will  carry, draw, shoot and holster a live loaded handgun in the program. 

The above video provides detailed instructions by Fred Behnken on how to safely load and holster your concealed handgun.
