NRA's Basic Personal Protection in the Home course is for law-abiding adult citizens, as defined by applicable federal, state or local law. It is much more than just a routine shooting course. It is important that participants have sufficient maturity and life experience to be able to assess various situations and make mature decisions.
The NRA Basic Personal Protection series is based on the building block approach, moving from the simple to the complex. the first course in the series is the NRA Basic Pistol Course, which develops in your students the basic skills of handling, shooting and cleaning the firearm. the second course is NRA Basic Personal Protection in the Home course, which builds on the skills already learned in the Basic Pistol Course.
NRA Basic Personal Protection in the Home Course participants must be experienced shooters (shooters able to show mastery of the basic skills of safe gun handling, shooting a group, zeroing the firearm, and cleaning the firearm) to to maximize what can be learned from this course. Proof of Shooting experience can be one of the following: NRA Basic Pistol Course Certificate, NRA First Steps Course Certificate, NRA pistol competitive shooting qualification card, military DD214 with pistol qualification, or passing the Pre-Course assessment in Appendix 2."
