Covert Protective Pistol IV will continue the American Armed Citizen series, with an emphasis of the skills needed to be a responsible Armed Citizen. We will continue to refine your response to the management of a potential, unknown threat and the preamble leading up to an altercation, and ways to avoid the fight. Target discrimination and appropriate responses will be focused on during this realistic course work. Students will be put in various realistic, stress induced states, where they will have to critically think and implement an appropriate plan of action, during which time we will work to expand your comfort zone with conflict and its resolution. Implementation of use of cover, movement, and action will be stressed throughout, while maintaining critical accuracy and the ability to prevail as a responsible Armed Citizen. Students will be tested from extreme close range out to extended distance responses. Additionally, we will introduce you to pistol positional shooting to increase accuracy and success. At the completion of this course the Armed Citizen will have the tools for a complete Protective Pistol System.
