NRA Personal Protection Inside The Home

held at Northern Chester County Sportsman’s Club - Elverson, PA
The NRA Personal Protection in the Home Course exposes students to the concepts and use of lethal force in self defense and covers defensive shooting techniques.
Self-defense is a hot and sometimes controversial topic apart and distinct from the regular diet of shooting fundamentals and firearm use. This class will 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 within the home.
Students will receive the NRA Guide to the Basics of Personal Protection in the Homehandbook and intensive lessons on basics of defensive shooting, issues of self-defense, and other strategies for protecting the home and family.
Course Goal
“To develop in the students the basic knowledge, skills, and attitude essential to the safe and efficient use of a handgun for protection of self and family, and to provide information on the law-abiding citizen's right to self-defense.”
Lessons
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 participants through a pre-course assessment 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 Programcertificate, a Pistol qualification card, or additional certification from security or law enforcement background training.
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 that lends itself to horseplay and distractions.
Course Completion
Students will be given feedback on their shooting exercises, and a course completion 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. Throughout the course the instructor will use a individual checklist for each student to ensure the coverage of course material, and satisfactory absorption of the material being taught.
