The USCCA Women’s Intermediate Handgun class is a defensive handgun course for those who want to further their skills with a handgun for home or personal protection, or are considering carrying, a handgun for self-defense.
The United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) is one of the preeminent training organizations in the country providing Concealed Carry Handgun and Home Defense firearms classes, as well as a broad range of superb training publications, videos, and on-line programs. The USCCA also provides a range of excellent self-defense firearm legal insurance programs.
USCCA Women’s Intermediate Handgun is an informational and hands-on class in the carrying and use of a handgun in self-defense. Student’s should already be conversant in the safe handling and firing of a hand gun (such as completing Indy Arms’ Basic Defensive Handgun or a similar class at other organizations).
The class covers firearms handling safety, range safety, and personal safety. We summarize the legal, psychological, issues involved in using a firearm for self-defense. We practice basic handling, operation, reloading, malfunction clearances, and shooting skills with training guns, “dry” in the classroom. The course concludes with a range live-fire session allowing students to train with their own defensive handgun (rentals available) through a series of defensive drills.
This course will consist of about 4.5 hours of classroom material and practice, and about 1.5 hours of live-fire range time but sometimes runs a bit longer, based on student questions.
The class will include the use of a rental gun at no additional cost. Students should bring a minimum of 125 rounds of practice ammo for their gun of choice. This class is taught by Indy Arms’ own female Senior Instructor, Meghan Lowery.
Course Goal
“To allow the student to experience first-hand some of the skills and challenges inherent in the use of a firearm in self-defense, and to provide information and intermediate drills that will allow the student to practice and improve those skills.”
