This first class in the OC series is ideal for young adults going away to school or people who can’t or don’t feel comfortable carrying a firearm.  Students will learn the basics of when, how, and why to use OC (pepper) spray for self defense. You will NOT be sprayed with OC spray during this class. We will be using inert training units (water) for practice. We will have a safety check prior to running the scenarios to ensure that everyone is clear of any actual firearms or other weapons. This is a non negotiable for everyone’s safety. Each participant will leave the class equipped with a new, high quality OC pepper spray unit. Dinner will be provided.

After range time, we'll debrief and discuss next steps, including further instruction, gear, and how to integrate firearms into your lifestyle safely while maintaining the life you want to live.
