 Hello everyone, Dylan Schumacher, Citadel of the Fence. And today we're gonna talk about what is Citizen Pistol One. Citizen Pistol One is our flagship handgun course that we teach a couple times a year. And when I designed Citizen Pistol One, I designed it to cover all of the basics that you would need to learn how to operate your handgun effectively. So we cover draw, stance, grip, sight alignment, sight picture, speed reloading, tactical reloads, shooting from different positions, shooting while moving, use of cover and concealment. We cover all that stuff and we do it in about one day. When I say about, it's about eight-ish hours, give or take. This pistol class is really the best place to start your training journey. Most of us were required or chose to take some kind of permit class at some point, which is great. And really what a permit class should teach you is the law, right? The laws around lethal force, the laws around your state and the carry laws there. But this class is designed to teach you how to actually use the gun. We're not in the classroom, we're outside on the range all day doing and learning. And it really is the best place to start because most of us carry a handgun every day. And if you don't, you should. And because that gun can always be with you and you can always have it, you should know how to use it, right? Knowing how to use a handgun effectively is an adult life skill. And that's really the ethos that I have in Citizen Pistol One. Whether you're a professional and you carry gun for a living, whether you're a competition shooter, whether you're just getting started in this whole deal, or whether you just, again, you know it's an adult life skill and so you wanna know how to use the pistol, this class is gonna be for you. I've had people come through here who are competition shooters. I've had people come through who are brands, bank and new and don't know anything. And I'll take everybody in between. So I would love to have you come on out and take the class and help you learn how to use your pistol more effectively. Two things that I do wanna note, obviously we follow the four rules of gun safety. And that is the only prerequisite for this class is following the four rules of gun safety. You don't have to have prior training or prior class this or that. This is the place to start. If you don't know what the four rules of gun safety are, don't worry, we do talk about those in class. And of course we just ask that everybody chooses to follow those and those who choose not to won't be in class very long. The other thing that I would like to mention or at least recommend to you is that you would come to class with a Glock 19 size pistol or larger. In general, what I'm trying to discourage is the Snubnose 38 revolvers and the Pocket 380s or even they have some Pocket 9 millimeter guns now. The reason being we're gonna fire about 500 rounds during the day. And it's gonna be a blast. If you've taken training previously, I don't need to tell you how valuable and fun it is to take a class from a competent instructor. If you've never taken a class before, welcome to the party, come on out. It's gonna be the best day of your life. It'll change your life. I promise you can thank me later. Because we're gonna have that higher volume of fire throughout the day, it's gonna very much behoove you to have a larger pistol that can better absorb that recoil. If you're shooting these tiny guns all day, your hands are going to physically hurt. And I don't want you to be in pain and have a bad time. I think that sums up Citizen Pistol One. And I really hope that you choose to come on out and learn how to use your handgun more effectively. Do brave deeds and endure.
