The Second Amendment Foundation’s new Training Division has announced a new program specifically directed at training the new and inexperienced shooters in the defensive use of pistols, shotguns and carbines. Initial offerings include Methods of Instruction, Defensive Handgun 1&2, Defensive Shotgun 1&2, and Defensive Carbine 1&2.

If this works out, it should be a good complement to NRA’s long standing citizen training courses, which are almost exclusively geared toward gun safety, hunter safety and marksmanship, with very little to offer regarding self defense or combat/fighting.
