Home Defense Tools & Tactics

A Home Emergency Plan is something that must be developed to meet the needs of your unique living situation. Depending on the type of home you live in, the area it is located in, and emergency services nearby, your needs and protection requirements will vary. In this course, we will work with you to help answer these questions to develop a robust and effective plan.

In addition to discussing how to develop a personalized Home Emergency Plan, we'll include tips on options for self-defense tools (including lethal and non-lethal), firearms selection, and low-light tools and techniques.

Topics this class will cover:

• Preparedness in Advance | Developing a home emergency plan including personal specifics, location of fire and emergency services, response times, and safe rooms/escape plans. 
• Communication Plans | Who to notify in an emergency, plans for contact.
• Hardening Your Home | Layering from the outside in — early warnings, deterrence, barriers, and preparedness. 
• Legal Use of Force & Local Laws | Understanding Castle Doctrine and how it relates to defending your home, Stand Your Ground laws, justifiable use of force, and the use of force continuum.

Educating and preparing yourself and your home in advance of an emergency is imperative. While this all may seem overwhelming, we’ll help you develop a systematic approach to make it easier to navigate. You don’t want to miss this unparalleled training opportunity with the USCCA!
