Louis Awerbuck offers a class on home defense tactics, but unfortunately not at BCSD.
Since defending our families is the main priority for most of us, I think this course would be invaluable; exluding those whose home defense plan includes calling Zed and bringing out the gimp.
I told Sheriff Campbell that I would like to see it on the schedule for next year and that I would try to get as many people as possible to lobby for this.
This would be a great opportunity to bring your spouse, friends, etc and since the class is offered in a two-day format, no one will be missing work. Also, the cost is more appealing than other classes due to it being one day shorter and almost no ammo needed.
If you are interested, please send Sheriff Campbell an e-mail. If you need his e-mail address, shoot me a PM.
Here's the course description:
"Home Defense Tactics
While the best and most intelligent way to handle a home break-in is to get away if possible or at least to stay in one location, call law enforcement and not move from that spot until officers arrive and take care of the situation, it is recognized that this is not always possible.
If a family member is in potential danger, one may have to move to the person's location to protect him/her, and/or be capable of operating in unison as a "team". Extensive discussion of tactical methods will serve to alert the student to hazards he/she may encounter. Session hours will vary to allow the inclusion of night searches.
The basic principles discussed will also suit the lone patrol officer or two-man patrols who seldom have little choice in whether they can advance into, or withdraw from a danger area. The course is offered in a 2-day format with minimal or no shooting, or a 3-day format with one day of shooting instruction."
