As a defensive weapons and tactics instructor John Farnam will urge you, based on your own beliefs, to make up your mind in advance as to what you would do when faced with an imminent and unlawful lethal threat. You should, of course, also decide what preparations you should make in advance, if any.

Requirements

• You must have a holster. Most holsters of reasonable quality are acceptable. We will work with most waist-band holsters (IWB or external), cross-draw holsters, shoulder-holsters, ankle-holsters, off-body carry (handbags, purses). We assume concealed carry, unless you are a police officer and want to work out of your patrol, duty gear. 
• Be sure you bring with you the suggested number of rounds of pistol ammunition (400) at least two magazines or speed loaders, eye (safety glasses) and hearing protection, a sturdy leather or fabric belt (when you're using a waist-band holster), magazine/speed loader carriers, and a baseball cap. As noted above, our work will be from a concealed draw, so please make sure your equipment is genuinely concealable and suitable for continuous, daily wear.
• We will accept most reputable pistols in 380Auto, 9mm (9x19), 9x23, 357Sig, 40S&W, 10mm, 45ACP, and 45GAP calibers. Revolvers in 38Spl, 9mm, 357Mg, 44Spl, 44Mg will all work fine. Pistols and revolvers chambered for 22 rimfire are not acceptable.
• Back-up pistols are acceptable, but not required, for this course.
• The course will entail some physical activity, so you will need to dress appropriately (long pants, long-sleeve shirt, sturdy shoes). You may get dirty, so wear something heavy-duty but inexpensive. Sweat pants, shorts, and short-sleeve shirts are not recommended. You should also bring along an old sports coat or jacket, so that you will able to practice your draw from concealment.
• Required safety equipment includes hearing protection (earmuffs and/or plugs), safety glasses, and a baseball cap.
• Finally, you will need a gun-rug or box, so that you can safely carry your gun on and off the range, unless, of course, you are authorized to carry concealed, in which case I presume you will be carrying to and from the range.
