SUMMARY:Taser Certification for Civilians
DESCRIPTION:In a world where violence happens\, we must be thankful that deadly force is rarely the necessary answer. Having a tool that is designed to be non-lethal could be extremely beneficial in many circumstances where a firearm isn’t the best tool for the desired resolution. \nTaser energy weapons are designed to be an effective non-lethal tool to immobilize an attacker. The popular Pulse or Pulse+ civilian versions of the widely used law enforcement devices from Axon\, provide the same knock-down punch\, but are designed specifically for civilian self-defense. Taser also offers the security officer specific model\, the Taser X1\, and other models in the professional series. \nTaser Benefits\n\nUp to 30 seconds of muscular incapacitation\nDesigned to be non-lethal\nMost states do not require a permit to own or carry\nEffective up to 15 feet away from the attacker\n\nAs with any tool that is designed to be used in self-defense\, it is important to receive training. Bearco instructor Barret Kendrick is a Master Instructor for Taser's Civilian program. We offer courses both for security personnel and civilians wanting to own and carry one for self-defense.  \nTopics Covered\n\nTaser nomenclature and terminology.\nModel specifics and features\n\nTailored to Pulse\, Pulse+\, Bolt 2\, Taser 7\, or X1 device\n\n\nMaintenance and care of your device\nTaser manipulation\nThe fundamentals of using a Taser\nLive-fire exercises\nWhile you will not be exposed to the electrical charge from a Taser during the course\, you will fire them at targets.\n\nOpen to:General Public /  Private SecurityCourse Eligibility:No Prerequisites \nGear Requirements:You do not need a Taser Conducted Energy Weapon to attend the course\, we will provide them as part of the training.

SUMMARY:Taser Certification for Civilians
DESCRIPTION:In a world where violence happens\, we must be thankful that deadly force is rarely the necessary answer. Having a tool that is designed to be non-lethal could be extremely beneficial in many circumstances where a firearm isn’t the best tool for the desired resolution. \nTaser energy weapons are designed to be an effective non-lethal tool to immobilize an attacker. The popular Pulse or Pulse+ civilian versions of the widely used law enforcement devices from Axon\, provide the same knock-down punch\, but are designed specifically for civilian self-defense. Taser also offers the security officer specific model\, the Taser X1\, and other models in the professional series. \nTaser Benefits\n\nUp to 30 seconds of muscular incapacitation\nDesigned to be non-lethal\nMost states do not require a permit to own or carry\nEffective up to 15 feet away from the attacker\n\nAs with any tool that is designed to be used in self-defense\, it is important to receive training. Bearco instructor Barret Kendrick is a Master Instructor for Taser's Civilian program. We offer courses both for security personnel and civilians wanting to own and carry one for self-defense.  \nTopics Covered\n\nTaser nomenclature and terminology.\nModel specifics and features\n\nTailored to Pulse\, Pulse+\, Bolt 2\, Taser 7\, or X1 device\n\n\nMaintenance and care of your device\nTaser manipulation\nThe fundamentals of using a Taser\nLive-fire exercises\nWhile you will not be exposed to the electrical charge from a Taser during the course\, you will fire them at targets.\n\nOpen to:General Public /  Private SecurityCourse Eligibility:No Prerequisites \nGear Requirements:You do not need a Taser Conducted Energy Weapon to attend the course\, we will provide them as part of the training. If you plan to purchase one before the class\, use the coupon code barretkendrick for 15% off at Taser.com. \nCost: $149

SUMMARY:LA Concealed Handgun Permit Certification Course
DESCRIPTION:We do cover shooting fundamentals in this course\, but it is mandatory that you have some prior knowledge and shooting experience before signing up for our ICC course. This course is not a learn how to shoot course\, it's more of a learn how not to shoot course. Louisiana does have a shooting qualification requirement\, and it's this that mostly makes up the time at the range.  Our Intro to Defensive Handguns course is a much better option for learning how to use firearms defensively as a new student. We also offer private training sessions that better prepare students for concealed carry. Please contact us if you’re interested in signing up for this course and a private training session at a discounted rate.  \nTopics Include: \n\nSafety\nDefensive handgun types\, nomenclature\nDefensive firearms ammunition\nHolsters and holster presentation\nAwareness\nAvoidance\nDe-Escalation\nShould vs. Could\nLouisiana’s laws on using force\nRegulations surrounding the permit\nAlternative force options\nStorage and access prevention\nDefensive shooting fundamentals\nThe importance of firearm cleaning\nConcealed carry considerations\nThe aftermath of using a firearm in self-defense\n\nRequired gear for each shooter: \n\nDefensive Handgun with 2 mags for semi-autos.\n50 rounds of ammo.\nHearing and eye protection.\nThe range gets dirty at times after rain\, please bring shoes that you will not get upset if they get dirty.\nYou may bring a lunch or pick up something from one of the fast-food type places nearby the classroom.\n\n

SUMMARY:LA Concealed Handgun Permit Certification Course
DESCRIPTION:We do cover shooting fundamentals in this course\, but it is mandatory that you have some prior knowledge and shooting experience before signing up for our ICC course. This course is not a learn how to shoot course\, it's more of a learn how not to shoot course. Louisiana does have a shooting qualification requirement\, and it's this that mostly makes up the time at the range.  Our Intro to Defensive Handguns course is a much better option for learning how to use firearms defensively as a new student. We also offer private training sessions that better prepare students for concealed carry. Please contact us if you’re interested in signing up for this course and a private training session at a discounted rate.  \nTopics Include: \n\nSafety\nDefensive handgun types\, nomenclature\nDefensive firearms ammunition\nHolsters and holster presentation\nAwareness\nAvoidance\nDe-Escalation\nShould vs. Could\nLouisiana’s laws on using force\nRegulations surrounding the permit\nAlternative force options\nStorage and access prevention\nDefensive shooting fundamentals\nThe importance of firearm cleaning\nConcealed carry considerations\nThe aftermath of using a firearm in self-defense\n\nRequired gear for each shooter: \n\nDefensive Handgun with 2 mags for semi-autos.\n50 rounds of ammo.\nHearing and eye protection.\nThe range gets dirty at times after rain\, please bring shoes that you will not get upset if they get dirty.\nYou may bring a lunch or pick up something from one of the fast-food type places nearby the classroom.\n\n

SUMMARY:Taser Certification for Civilians
DESCRIPTION:In a world where violence happens\, we must be thankful that deadly force is rarely the necessary answer. Having a tool that is designed to be non-lethal could be extremely beneficial in many circumstances where a firearm isn’t the best tool for the desired resolution. \nTaser energy weapons are designed to be an effective non-lethal tool to immobilize an attacker. The popular Pulse or Pulse+ civilian versions of the widely used law enforcement devices from Axon\, provide the same knock-down punch\, but are designed specifically for civilian self-defense. Taser also offers the security officer specific model\, the Taser X1\, and other models in the professional series. \nTaser Benefits\n\nUp to 30 seconds of muscular incapacitation\nDesigned to be non-lethal\nMost states do not require a permit to own or carry\nEffective up to 15 feet away from the attacker\n\nAs with any tool that is designed to be used in self-defense\, it is important to receive training. Bearco instructor Barret Kendrick is a Master Instructor for Taser's Civilian program. We offer courses both for security personnel and civilians wanting to own and carry one for self-defense.  \nTopics Covered\n\nTaser nomenclature and terminology.\nModel specifics and features\n\nTailored to Pulse\, Pulse+\, Bolt 2\, Taser 7\, or X1 device\n\n\nMaintenance and care of your device\nTaser manipulation\nThe fundamentals of using a Taser\nLive-fire exercises\nWhile you will not be exposed to the electrical charge from a Taser during the course\, you will fire them at targets.\n\nOpen to:General Public /  Private SecurityCourse Eligibility:No Prerequisites \nGear Requirements:You do not need a Taser Conducted Energy Weapon to attend the course\, we will provide them as part of the training. If you plan to purchase one before the class\, use the coupon code barretkendrick for 15% off at Taser.com. \nCost: $149
