Pepper Spray / Edged & Impact Weapons / Firearms

The topic of weapons can seem intimidating to some, but the best way for sheep to be prepared for the wolves is to be armed. For those who do not want or can not have a gun there are other options that are non-lethal, but they have their limitations. Firearms are the most effective and practical for overall personal protection. There is no better way to "even the odds" than to be armed, trained and prepared for the wolves.


Firearms

(See www.pistalcraft.org for schedule and prices)

If you keep a gun in the home for self defense, or if you've considered getting a carry permit, then YOU NEED THESE COURSES! The modern martial arts weapon is the firearm. Handguns are the best tool for daily carry and Pistol Craft Inc. is one of the leading organizations, in Minnesota, for practical training.


Why should we train with you, rather than others?

For starters, we focus on only practical shooting skills. What's taught is based on reality and has been proven by those forced to use these skills in real life. Most others expect you to already know how to shoot and only have you fire 30-50 rounds by using the sights and hitting the bulls eye. WE FIND THAT UNACCEPTABLE! Real gunfights happen fast (appx. 2-3 seconds avg.), in close quarters (Usually less than 21 feet), and often in low light situations. We teach 1 and 2 hand point shooting skills for contact range to 7 yds. Including low light and darkness without a flashlight! We do include Flash-Front Sight practice and encourage everyone to maintain precision shooting skills that can come in handy for some situations, but gun sights are RARELY seen by those who have been involved in shootings. We explain the physiological changes to the human mind and body in extreme situations. It's also important that you learn the realities and legalities of self defense. Our mission is to help you to stay alive and out of prison!

Pepper Spray Lesson

(Highly Recommended as a less-than-lethal option. Especially for those who carry a gun.)

A simple and reasonably effective option, for most everyone to carry. Pepper Spray products are available through FDT for purchase or order. MUST BE 18+ to purchase. This short lesson can be added into any course offered. Lesson includes some concepts, realities & legalities of it's use and a chance to practice shooting and become familiar with some common types.


Edged and Blunt Weapons

(Courses under construction, but training is available, upon request.)

If you carry a pocket knife or expandable baton you should learn how to carry, draw, and use them as effectively as possible. It is also important that you understand the legalities of their use in self defense.


They are considered dangerous weapons and people have been in trouble for even brandishing them. If you have taken a Carry Permit Course, then you should already be familiar with the legalities.


Improvised Weapons

(Incorporated into longer courses, discussed in shorter ones)

Any object can be used as a weapon or disruption, even an unmovable one. As with any use of force, there are still legalities to consider. Any and all use of force must be reasonable. Even if you use a non-weapon object as a weapon (a flashlight for example) it could be considered either lethal or non-lethal force, depending on its use. Take any Personal Protection Course and don't learn the law the hard way!
