 Hey guys, Dylan Schumacher, Citadel of the Fence. The purpose of this video is to talk about Handgun 101. Handgun 101 is an introductory shooting course that I teach for people that are either brand new to firearms and or afraid of them. I understand that for a lot of people, they might not have grown up around guns. They might not understand the mechanics of how the gun actually works. And I found one of the best ways to overcome the fear of guns is through education of guns. That's kind of the business I'm in, I'm in the gun education business. And one of the best ways to counter the fear and worry and concern around guns is to explain how they function in a well thought out, well thought environment. That's what we do here. So that's why I ended up developing this course called Handgun 101. Now the name is a bit of a misnomer. We will spend a lot of time on a handgun. We'll shoot a couple other guns too just for variety sake and again just for that extra exposure to other guns. If you have a gun and you're like, hey Dylan, I have this shotgun in my house. I got it from my grandfather or whatever but I don't know how to use it. I'm a little concerned about it. I like to like take it out and shoot it. You can bring that gun. I don't care. I don't want to provide the guns and the bullets but if you have a gun that you specifically own and you want to bring and you want to use and you want to learn that gun, I totally get that. That's fine. We can do that. But overall again, the point of this course is to help give you an introductory lesson to the guns. So we're going to go out on the range for about two-ish hours. We're going to shoot the gun. We're going to load the gun. We're going to talk about how the gun works and we're really going to learn how to handle the gun safely and effectively. Those are the two goals to come out of that course. We're going to talk about the firearm safety rules. We're going to talk about stance. We're going to talk about grip. We're going to talk about marksmanship. We're going to get you to be able to hit what you want with that gun and you're going to be able to start to understand that these aren't magic death machines. They're not magic death rays. Having one in your house doesn't make you less safe. In fact, when you're properly trained, it makes you more safe. So if you're in that camp or if you're concerned about guns or if you know someone who's afraid of guns and you're looking for just a way that you can introduce them and get them on the right path to where they can have a helpful understanding of guns. They can have a safe understanding of guns. And if they were to come across one or have one in their house, they would know what to do with it and not put good people in danger and put bad people in a lot of danger. If that's where you're at or if that's where someone you know is at, come take handgun 101. That's why I have the course. I have the course because I realize not everybody can hit the ground running and get excited and come to a full day of handgun training. And just, they're not all gung-ho about it. I get that. I totally get that. And that's why we have handgun 101. It's this introductory of a course, introductory of a hands-on learning course, I should say, as you can get. And that's why I made it. So I hope that's helpful. I hope you find this helpful. If again, if any of that resonates with you at all, I would love to see you at a handgun 101. Do brave deeds and endure.
