Basic Handgun Defense Level 2 course
Basic Handgun Defense Level 2 builds on the fundamentals of defensive shooting presented in Basic Handgun Defense Level 1.
In this 3-4 hour basic level course, you will continue to build a foundation of safe, defensive handgun skills to a level useful for real-world self-defense.
