Non-Lethal Use of Firearms as a Control Tool
1 day Program

This class will cover two major subjects - weapon retention and use of the firearm as a tool to physically control an aggressive subject. A grabbed weapon presents a major danger to operators in many realms; your immediate danger of being disarmed and shot, your teammates coming under fire from the weapon just taken from you, interrupting the flow of the stack during the struggle, inability to fire your weapon because of unsafe field of fire, the list goes on. A firearm can be used very effectively as a tool to physically restrain and neutralize a subject without a round being fired. This class will teach techniques of weapon retention for handguns, shotguns, and MP5's. All techniques taught here will be simple, out of the box effective. You will be taught to use the attacker's own energy against them. This allows all officers, regardless of size, to enjoy equal success.
