T1T Vehicle Defensive Handgun

Course Length: 1 day or 2 day options.

Course Description: The vehicle; be it sedan, coupe, truck or motorcycle, presents a number of unique challenges for self-defense and the defense of loved ones.  From reduced mobility to the dangers of the comfort in patterns the vehicle provides; the access and potential use of a firearm inside or while entering/ exiting a vehicle is a complicated problem that requires specific training to confront the non-traditional nature of fighting from or in an enclosed space.
