Course Description: Imagine that you are a concealed carry holder and have deployed your firearm to engage a threat.  Suddenly, your attacker is upon you and a full contact, hand–to-hand battle ensues. Do you need to know how to keep retention of your weapon? If you lose your weapon, you need to know how to retrieve it. Would skills teaching you how get to a position to take a shot to end this fight be important to you?
