The NRA Basic Personal
Protection Course has been updated as of July 01, 2003!
The goal of the (New) NRA Basic Personal Protection Course
is:
"To develop in the students the basic knowledge, skills and attitude essential to the safe and efficient use of
a handgun for protection of self and family, and to provide information on the law-abiding citizen's right to self defense."
The NRA Basic Personal Protection Course exposes students to several schools of thought regarding defensive shooting
techniques. Although the course is designed to avoid giving students too much information too fast, or giving them too many
choices, the course is not confined to one rigid or dogmatic system.
The NRA Basic Personal Protection Course includes:
*Introduction to Defensive Shooting
*Basic Defensive Handgun Skills
*Firearms and the Law: Possession,
Ownership, and the Use of Deadly Force
*Strategies for Home Safety and Responding to a Violent Confrontation
*Selecting
a Handgun for Self-Defense
*Sport Shooting Activities and Training Opportunities
*Course Review and Examination
Who Can Take the NRA Basic Personal Protection Course?
NRA's Basic Personal Protection course is for law
abiding adult citizens, as defined by applicable federal, state, or local law. It is much more than just a routine shooting
course. It is important that participants have sufficient maturity and life experiences to be able to assess various situations
and make mature decisions.
The NRA Basic Personal Protection series is based on the building block approach, moving from
the simple to the complex. The first course in the series is the NRA Basic Pistol Course, which develops in your students
the basic skills of handling, shooting, and cleaning the firearm. The second course is NRA Basic Personal Protection Course,
which builds on the skills already learned in the Basic Pistol Course.
