About This Course:

​

This course arms civilians with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to determine proper use of force, protecting your home and how to win a potentially lethal encounter. Additionally, this course discusses Washington State concealed carry laws and details regarding concealed pistol licenses (CPL's).

In this class I share my real-life experiences throughout investigations of home invasions and residential burglaries. With a strong focus on the factors that worked for and against the home owner and why.
 

The use of force laws by citizens in Washington State are thoroughly dissected and discussed as well in class. This will include a detailed discussion on the use of lethal force. We will also discuss the differences in justified force as it pertains to persons crimes vs. property crimes.
 
I have a passion about sharing the correct information to the citizens of Washington State. The content of the course was reviewed by a prominent prosecutor and it mirrors Washington State laws on the use of force by citizens.

PISTOLCRAFT: LEVEL 2 is for shooters who have previous shooting experience and are familiar with the safe handling of a firearm. Class size is limited to six students to provide one on one instruction with Chris. As a result of attending this class, the student will be more efficient in handling a firearm and have an overall increased accuracy on target. Several more key topics will be covered, including running the firearm through multiple malfunction clearance drills. Learn from Chris’s 27 years in law enforcement and leave this class with an increased survivability in a gunfight. Concealed carry laws also discussed. The cost is $200 per student: 10:00 a.m. -- 2:00 p.m.
