Understanding when you can—and cannot—legally use force is the most critical responsibility of any armed citizen. This intensive 2-hour mini course is designed to bridge the gap between owning a firearm and understanding the complex legal framework that governs its use.

Powered by the USCCA Legal Use of Force curriculum, this course provides a clear-eyed look at the definitions of "Reasonable Force" versus "Deadly Force." We move beyond the basics to explore the four pillars of a justifiable use of force: Ability, Opportunity, Jeopardy, and Preclusion. You will learn to navigate the high-stakes decisions that occur in a split second, and how those decisions are viewed through the lens of the legal system.
