August 12, 2023 @ 12:30 pm - 5:00 pm

Civilian Weapon Systems: AR-15 Demystified & Threat Deterrence (Level 1 – Introduction)

CWS: AR-15 Demystified & Threat Deterrence (Level 1 – Introduction) is perfect for beginners and those who want to become reintroduced with the AR-15 platform. This course is designed to introduce responsible gun owners to the safe handling, proper maintenance, and effective use of AR-15-style rifles and to bring awareness to the usefulness of this platform in the context of civilian home defense and defense of life. Classroom instruction covers topics such as basic AR-15 nomenclature and function, cleaning and maintenance, and accessorizing the AR-15. Live-range instruction will provide students with an understanding of how to safely and effectively operate their AR-15, confirm zero, and engage in practical and cumulative drills.

All Skill Levels Welcomed

Classroom (2 Hours) – Instructor-led PowerPoint presentation highlighting the history and popularity of the AR-15; parts, features, and functions; overview of cleaning and maintenance; accessorizing the AR-15; and basics about using the AR-15 for home defense.
