This our primary focus at NWHA. By learning the parts of the gun, the fundamentals of handling a firearm, the 4 basic safety rules, and a lot of commonsense, we will instill how important this aspect of owning a firearm is for you and your family members.

Being prepared mentally for all situations is another key factor of gun ownership and for above all carrying concealed. It’s a true commitment. We will cover this aspect in detail. If you are not ready and willing to use your gun, then leave it at home…. Or better yet, don’t buy one!

Once the above points are covered and demonstrated, you will learn to confidently shoot your gun. Trigger and breath control, front sight alignment as well as grip and stance will covered in the classroom and at the range using proven life fire drills.

Making the right decisions through situational awareness will become second nature. Knowing how to anticipate a bad situation before it happens will keep you safe. My goal is to instruct how keep you out of a situation so that you don’t have to use your gun…. ever.

We also will cover by law, what you can and cannot do with a gun for self defense and what to expect from the law if you use your gun…. Like I said, it’s a big commitment.
