Active Crisis Consulting Training & Instructional Facility

The election is over.  You have purchased a firearm for the first time, or maybe lockdown has made you rusty and you just need firearms training.  

What do you do now?

Owning a firearm is like owning a pet.  It is not your child, but it needs to be fed, requires regular exercise and you are responsible for it.  Active Crisis Consulting (ACC) has been providing guidance on the security and firearms training in our communities, that caters specifically to new gun owners. ACC provides firearms safety and shooting courses ranging from one day, to annual or even multi-year training contracts. Additionally, ACC instructs interactive online courses on personal security and protective (family) services.

There are three major questions that one must consider when owning a firearm:

 _____________________________________________________________________

  1. Am I following all of the State laws for firearm ownership?

    State laws are always evolving with the ebbs and flows of the political agendas.  You may have purchased a firearm that was made unlawful under State law without your knowledge.  Google research cannot guarantee that you are in lawful possession of a firearm according to your State law.  

  2. What are the laws in your State pertaining to self-defense and the use of deadly force?

    The term “castle doctrine” is thrown about casually but what does that really mean and how does it apply to you?  You need to know if your State has a castle doctrine and how it effects your rights are if you are assaulted in your home or in public. As we have recently seen, people that commit acts of violence or destruction of property are not always prosecuted.  If you live in a State where the prosecution of criminals has been politicized, then you need to determine what your rights are as an armed citizen.

  3. Do you possess the appropriate knowledge to operate your firearm?

    • What did you buy?  

    • How does it function?  

    • How do you load it?  

    • What is the best ammunition for your firearm?  

    A firearm is a simple machine that can and will subject you to bodily injury if not used with caution and confidence.  Educate yourself on your firearm.  There are a myriad of trainers that you can contract.  Some are better than others.  One of the biggest obstacles to training is finding the right instructional environment and a trainer with the right credentials and a good reputation.  Regardless, do your research and get training.
