- intuitive unsighted fire
- intuitive sighted fire

Before You Carry and Defend (BYCAD) is held in the classroom. Your home is your castle, and it should be the safest place for you and your family. In this course, you will learn the fundamentals in making your home the safe by reviewing the latest strategies and methodologies on developing a detailed and realistic home defense plan both with and without the need for a firearm. You will learn the many aspects to becoming a responsible armed defender: physically, mentally, morally, financially, and legally.
A firearm is the tool of absolute last resort, and no one should want to use one unless necessary to protect your family from grave bodily harm. What if you were forced to use your firearm? What are the laws of self-defense? What is the legal use of force? Our Before You Defend & Carry course answers these and many other questions surrounding a violent encounter and the aftermath to expect after the police arrive. We will cover and dispel the mistruths centered around the Castle Doctrine and duty to retreat.
By the end of this course, you will have a clear picture of how to develop an effective home defense and personal protection plan to defend your family. You will also be able to determine if a firearm fits into your plan and if yes which type will suit your personal needs.
Students will also leave with a copy of the USCCA’s Concealed Carry & Home Defense book ($35 value).
