Powerful Deterrents When You Are Trained & Ready to Use Them
Not every threat requires deadly force. Responsible citizens must understand when, how, and why
less-than-lethal tools may be appropriate options. Pepper spray and conducted electrical weapons
(commonly referred to as Tasers) can serve as effective deterrents when properly understood and
responsibly deployed.
This course provides structured instruction on the lawful use, practical limitations, and safe
deployment considerations of less-than-lethal defensive tools. Students will gain clarity on
decision-making boundaries and build confidence in carrying alternatives as part of a layered
personal protection strategy.
