Armed Vehicle Defense

Description: 

Join us and gain the knowledge and skills in proper weapon manipulation techniques within proximity of vehicles with special guest instructor Mark Palazio of Practical Defense Tactics LLC! This course builds on the existing skills covered in Mark’s Beyond the Basics class as well as other qualified courses - challenging students to connect the tactics and techniques taught that work best for you while problem solving and potentially save lives.

The primary focus of this course is to demonstrate how to properly utilize a handgun both in and around vehicles by using these seemingly obtrusive confined spaces to your advantage. This course will also cover the science behind your ammunition and the effectiveness of ammunition through glass and metal barriers.
