Our Family Protection Clinic emphasizes training of clients on our Client Maintenance Plan (CMP-level site members), so they can function as firearm instructors within their own family, developing a training culture that can outlive them, increasing efficacy of their dynastic firearm planning. CMP members are now entitled to an optional hour of private dry practice each month, scheduled at their convenience, which doubles as a confidential trust funding consultation. In addition, our weekly Friday clinic (“Handgun Drills – Instructor Development”) is restricted to CMP members and their guests, so CMP members may practice giving instruction (best way to learn). For example, CMP members might want to invite those guardians they named to protect their kids!

We continue to offer free handgun training to the public in an expanded monthly format on the last Saturday of each month, starting with a LaserShot competition which involves shooting fundamentals (sight alignment, sight picture, trigger control); followed by a Q&A session for those who watched our instructional videos “Estate Planning for Family Protection” and “California Gun Trust Planning”; followed by an airsoft handgun clinic providing an introduction to the concealed carry drills practiced in our advanced clinics.

Do You Need Our Free Handgun Training?

Perhaps not, if you can perform these drills as specified*:

• controlled pair (1.0 sec at close contact, 1.3 sec at either 3m or close with palm strike & step back, 1.5 sec at 7m)
• four targets at 5m (2.1 sec)
• designated head shot (1.3 sec at 5m, 1.5 sec at 7m)
• hostage rescue head shot (both sides, each 1.5 sec at 7m)
• tactical reload (3.5 sec)
• emergency reload (1.0 sec)
• malfunction clearance (1.0 sec for failure to fire, 1.2 sec for failure to eject, 4.0 sec for failure to extract)

Keep in mind that an average man carrying a knife (even a BIG one) can run 27 feet in 1.5 seconds. And don’t forget inertia!

*Above are master test times. Our standard skills test is much easier!

Standard skills test for waiver of Client Maintenance Plan (CMP) fee:

• tactical reload (4.5 sec)
• emergency reload (2.4 sec)
• malfunction clearance (1.4 sec for failure to fire, 1.6 sec for failure to eject, 6.5 sec for failure to extract)

Standard test is performed with concealment, at one or more of the monthly private handgun clinics included with your Client Maintenance Plan (CMP). There is no “shooting” or even drawing in our standard test. In addition to these basic drills, there is some practice of draw/shoot at our various handgun clinics (simulated with airsoft trainers), more on shooting fundamentals at our monthly LaserShot competitions (prizes awarded). Monthly events are open to the public. CMP members may bring guests to our weekly two-hour Friday clinic, where CMP members can practice giving instruction.
