What You’ll Learn
Firearm safety and range etiquette (non-negotiable)
Fundamentals of shooting
How your firearm works: basic mechanics, common malfunctions, basic maintenance
Drawing from concealment: safe, efficient draws and reholstering practices (dry & live-fire)
Practical, hands-on live-fire exercises to build accuracy and speed under control
Overview of Georgia use-of-force concepts and legal considerations (educational only — not legal advice)
Decision-making: avoiding common mistakes, de-escalation awareness, and post-incident steps
Important legal note: The course provides an educational overview of Georgia law related to self-defense and use of force. This is not legal advice. For case-specific guidance or questions about how the law applies to you, consult a licensed Georgia attorney.
