What you’ll build.
Vehicle Defense explores the realities of accessing and using a handgun in the confined, awkward environment of a vehicle. Students learn safe presentation, seat-belt and steering-wheel management, movement around vehicle structures, and how glass, doors, and body panels affect position and visibility. The course emphasizes avoidance, exit decisions, responsible use of cover, communication, and protecting other occupants before introducing higher-speed shooting problems. Drills are built around civilian defensive context rather than theatrical vehicle tactics. Graduates leave with safer procedures, better problem-solving ability, and a clearer understanding of what their equipment and vehicle allow.
