Two Person - Home Defense / Residential Structures (CQB)

As citizens, we are in or around buildings or vehicles for the vast majority of our lives. Since both vehicles and structures/dwellings offer different problems and opportunities, it stands to reason that we should learn how to defend ourselves and loved-ones in these environments. In this course, we are going to work on how to solve problems within residential structures such as homes and apartments. This course will provide an entry-level understanding of how to navigate indoors in such a way that they can most effectively negotiate any and all problems that arise within a home. Make no mistake- this is not a course for the brand-new shooter. This course covers more of the concepts related to fighting with a firearm than it does manipulating and shooting a firearm.

Everything is easier with two people, and this is especially true when it comes to defending and navigating a structure. Two sets of eyes, two guns, two people fulfilling roles, and two people properly communicating can solve many more problems with greater speed and efficiency than an individual person can.
